IR EXTENDERS
IR Blaster IR Receiver
IR Connections
The DXE-CAT Series has the ability to auto detect on the IR port if a receiver or a blaster / emitter is connected.
IR Blaster / Emitter
: Plug in an IR blaster to emit all IR command signals received from the IR receiver to control the associated
devices with built-in IR sensor
IR Receiver
: Plug in an IR receiver to receive all IR command signals from the IR remote controls of the associated devices.
Note if you are not using an approved Aurora branded receiver make certain you do not exceed the 5v signal level
limitation as some devices use 12v. Failure to do so will result in damage.
When the DXE-CAT-TX2L is set for manual the only way to send IR commands is using IR files loaded on the ftp of the unit in the
IR directory. Aurora IR files (.wir) are available for download on the Aurora website. In addition, IR files learned from NX or QX
control devices can be utilized.

Emitters must be mono plug or have ring and sleeve tied to ground.
Receivers must be stereo plug. Ring is 5v power. If using another brand receiver,
note carrier frequency must be stripped and IR signal cannot exceed 5v or
damage to port may occur.
