Installing the infrared remote control option
The optional Stewart Filmscreen infrared remote control allows control of
the screens from anywhere in the room.
Note:
The distance between the hand-held remote control and the receiver
can be up to 50 feet / 15 m. It is necessary to have uninterrupted line-of-
sight between the remote and the receiver.
Preparing the connection
Before making the electrical connections, you need:
An available AC constant power source
A 4-conductor switch hook-up cable (4-conductor bell wire or
category 5 cable is typically used for long runs)
Cat 5, multi-conductor unshielded, or similar type electronic cable
can be used to connect the 3-button switch to the LVC. The
recommended wire gauge is 20 to 24 AWG. Use plenum-rated
cable when required.
Making the connection
Figure 3 illustrates the connections.
1. Mount the infrared (IR) eye sensor near the screen.
2. Connect the 4-conductor hookup cable to the connection harness
coming from the J-box used for “switch input.”
3. Connect the hookup cable to the 3-button switch.
4. Connect the main AC power source to the AC J-box.
5. A parallel connection to an outboard audio-visual switching
network can be made at this time. (optional)
