IR System
Compatible with virtually all brands
of remotes using carrier frequencies
between 18 and 100kHz. As of this
publication date, the only known
components using carrier frequen-
cies outside this range are Bang &
Olufsen components and 1996
model year Pioneer receivers using
the ISC remote control (e.g. VSX-
D704S).

Specifications
Proper Power Supply
You must connect a Niles 12v DC
wall adapter (Niles XF00019) into
the switched AC power outlet of
each of the preamp/receivers in
your system. Any 12v DC power
supply with a minimum of 100mA
current capacity can be substituted.
Extending the Cable
If you must extend the cable from
the wall adapter to the IRZ6+’s sta-
tus input jack be sure to maintain
correct polarity. The tip of the plug
should be positive (+) and the
sleeve negative (-). Any 16 gauge 2-
conductor cable can be used to
extend the power status cable up to
200 feet.
Checking the Power Supply
It is possible to check the status
power supply itself and any connec-
tions that were made to extend the
cable by inserting the status plug
into the Power jack on the IRZ6+. If
the Power LED lights the status
power supply and connections are
OK. If the Power LED does not light
check all connections and replace
the power supply if necessary. For
more details on incorporating the
IntelliPad please refer to the
IntelliPad’s users manual.

CONVERTING A LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL OUTPUT TO 12V DC
Many components, particularly surround processors and digital preampli-
fiers, provide a low voltage whenever the component is “on” rather than
in “standby”. For the IRZ6+ to correctly broadcast power status you must
install an optional Niles OTI-512 Opto-Isolated trigger interface. The OTI-
512 will convert 3-30 volts AC or DC to 12v DC.
Status LED
When the preamp/receiver is on, the
status LED is lit. The color of the
LED displays whether the local
speakers are on or muted.
GREEN - Local Speakers and the
Preamp/Receiver are on
RED - Local speakers are off, but
the system is on.
OFF - System is off.
Source Control Keys
Source Control keys
operate the selected
source.
Mute Key
Controls the IntelliPad’s built-in speaker mute feature. You can mute
local speakers by pressing the Mute key. To turn the local speakers
back on (or unmute), press either the Mute key or one of the six
Source Select keys.
Volume Key
This key raises
and lowers the
volume of your
main system
amplifier.
Source Select Keys
A single press of one of these keys
can:
1. Turn on the preamp/receiver if it
was off.
2. Change the input of your
preamp/receiver to the selected
source.
3. Change the function of the Source
Control Keys so that they operate
the selected source.
4. Display which source is selected
by backlighting the corresponding
Source Label.
5. Turn on the local speakers
Figure 6 The IntelliPad
By adding an IntelliPad
®
to your
IRZ6+ Infrared Extender System you
will add a remarkable level of conve-
nience to your system. The IntelliPad
is the world’s first programmable,
wall-mounted keypad system that
provides a unique LED power status
display and the convenience of true
one-touch remote control of com-
plex audio/video systems.
The IntelliPad’s status feedback fea-
ture eliminates the guesswork com-
mon with standard IR control sys-
tems. The power LED on the
IntelliPad indicates the On/Off condi-
tion of each of the system’s zone pre-
amp/receivers.
Built-in intelligence tracks the On/Off
condition each of the preamp/
receivers so the IntelliPads know when
it’s appropriate to issue the power
command, even when the user does-
n’t. The system maintains perfect syn-
chronization between the amplifier
and the user.
By combining an optional Niles 12v
DC power supply with your IRZ6+
you can send a status signal to an
IntelliPad without running any addi-
tional wiring. Built into the IRZ6+ is a
Niles Status Signal Generator. When
the IRZ6+ sees 12v DC at the status
jack it broadcasts a Status signal over
your existing IR sensor wires. Any
IntelliPad connected to one of your
sensor wires will display power status.
IMPORTANT: For the IntelliPad’s
status feedback feature to work,
the pre-amp/receiver controlling
your system should have a
switched AC outlet, a switched
outlet is a 120v AC outlet that
switches off, when the preamp/
receiver is off and switches on
when it is on.
