Infrared Extender
Main System Unit
Introduction
An infrared (IR) extender system enables you to control your IR
remote controlled A/V equipment from a remote location. This
enables you to place your A/V components out of sight (behind cabi-
net doors, in the rear of a room, or in a different room) and still con-
veniently control your equipment.
The model
IRP2+
is an IR Main System Unit. It is one of three elements
that make up an infrared extender system:
1.
IR Sensors
receive IR commands from hand-held remote controls
and relay the commands to the Main System Unit via a 2-conductor
shielded cable. Generally, sensors are placed so that you can easily
and naturally point your remote control directly at them. Niles offers
an array of easily concealable sensors: wall-mount, ceiling-mount, sur-
face-mount and table-top. IR sensors are the “eyes” of the system.
2. The
IR Main System Unit
provides a connection hub for the IR
sensors and the IR flashers and is generally located near the A/V com-
ponents. The Main System Unit’s level controls and LED indicators
enable you to calibrate and troubleshoot an IR extender system. The
Main System Unit is the “heart” of an IR extender system.
3.
Infrared Flashers
transmit the infrared signals from the IR Main
System Unit to your A/V components. Niles manufactures both flood-
ing flashers (model IRC-1) and miniature “pin-point” flashers (model
IRC-2). Flashers are the “voice” of an IR extender system.
