A global IR input (labeled “IR IN”) is included on the back of the Lync controller. This allows you to connect
an IR receiving eye (sold separately) and pass IR signals to centrally located equipment. An IR eye is often
installed in a nearby room such as a dedicated theater room or family room with surround sound installed.
Three conductors of a Cat cable are typically used to connect the IR eye to the central Lync controller.
IR commands received at this eye are ONLY output through the Global IR output on the back of the Lync
controller. Connect a dual IR emitter to the Global IR Out so that you can control two devices.
An IR eye Panel (IRP) can be connected to
the open RJ-45 port on a LyncTouch and
installed in a convenient location within a
zone. The eye receives its power over the
Cat cable and passes the IR signal back to
the central Lync controller for the purpose of
controlling centrally located devices (that can
be controlled via IR).
The Lync Controller includes 5 Routed IR
emitter outputs and 1 Global IR emitter output.
IR emitters (sometimes called “flashers”)
connect to these ports and “flash” IR signals
received by an IR eye. Routed IR means that IR signals are routed only to the source currently selected
on a LyncTouch. This allows you to have two of the same source (such as two DirecTV or Cable boxes)
but only control the one you want. Global IR will output all of the IR signals allowing you to control a device
even when it is not selected for that zone.

Use the double-sided tape included with the IR emitter
to attach the emitter to the device’s IR receiving eye.
This is a side view showing how the
IR emitter should be attached to the
device that is being controlled.
