RESET BUTTONS
The 280501 is equipped with RESET buttons on each unit, there is no need to adjust any dip
switches or dials, the unit automatically adjusts gain when the RESET button is pushed on the
RX unit. The RESET button on the TX unit resets the connection and automatically adjusts for
resolution. This feature was created for the installer in mind, for a plug and play installation!
LINK LEDS
•
The link LED light on the Transmitter will blink when there is no signal or weak signal coming
from the source. A solid link LED light means you have a good source signal.
•
The link LED light on the Receiver indicates you have power, this not will indicate signal status
IR BLASTER (TX)
1. The IR Receiver (IR RX) is always what you point your remote at to send an IR signal. This pigtail is placed
at the display for controlling the source; or at the source for controlling the display.
2. The IR Blaster (IR TX) is what sends the IR signal to what you are intending to control, whether it’s the
source or the display. This pigtail is placed at the source; either pointed at the source, or placed on the
front panel of the source, see below for placement tips.
NOTE: The IR TX and IR RX look the same, however they are labeled “TX” and “RX.” Connecting them into the
wrong ports/units will result in the IR system to not function as designed. No damage will be done if connected
incorrectly.
IR PASS THROUGH
The bi-directional IR system allows you to control the source that is connected to the Transmitter, from the
display. There are two important things to know when setting up the IR system:
To control the source: Plug IR Blaster into IR OUT port of the transmitter unit (280501-TX); place transmitter
in front of the IR eye of the source.
NOTE: Placement of the IR Blaster (IR TX) is important and can result in the IR system not working if
improperly placed.
• First, locate the IR eye or window on the source
• If placing the IR blaster right on the front panel of the
source, do not stick right on top of the IR eye or IR
window. The IR signal cannot travel through the double-
sided tape on the IR Blaster. Instead place the blaster
on either side, or on the top or bottom of the IR eye or
window, with the tip of the blaster facing the IR eye or
window. See to the right for an illustration of where IR
signal shoots from on IR Blaster.
