IR-10 Infrared Remote Control
The optional EXTRON IR-10 infrared (IR) remote control is a hand held unit. It communicates with the Model 8 PLUS and Model 10 PLUS switchers through an external IR detector that is connected to an adapter. The adapter connects to the MANUAL REMOTE connector on the switcher rear panel and gets its power from the +5 volts on pin 13.
Operation requires pressing the key for the desired channel number while aiming the hand held unit at the IR detector. Approximate operating range is 30 feet.
The IR detector receives infrared signals from the hand held IR-10 remote control and converts them to logic signals. The logic signals are used by the adapter to duplicate front panel channel selection.
To install the IR-10 remote control system do the following:
1.Power OFF the switcher.
2.Connect the IR-10 adapter 25 pin plug to the MANUAL REMOTE connector on the rear panel of the switcher.
3.Plug the RJ-11 male connector into the IR-10 Adapter RJ-11 female connector.
4.Position the IR detector for the best reception of the infrared light from the IR-10 hand held remote controller (limited by a 6' cable).
5.Power the switcher ON.
The EXTRON part number for the IR-10 is 70-036-01.
