About this User’s Guide

This user’s guide covers the Extron IR 501 Small Matrix Infrared (IR) Remote Control, part #70-336-01. The IR 501 is an optional remote control that works with Extron matrix switchers. The remote control can duplicate most of the matrix switcher’s front panel control functions and some of RS-232 control functions. The hand-held remote operates at a carrier frequency of 38 kHz.

Refer to the appropriate matrix switcher manual for definitions of ties, configurations, presets, and audio breakaway; and for more detailed descriptions of the switcher’s front panel indications.

Battery Installation

Install two AAA batteries as shown (figure 1).
