enables you to place your A/V com-
ponents out of sight (behind cabi-
net doors, in the rear of a room, or
in a different room) and still conve-
niently control your equipment.

infrared extender system:

1.

IR Sensors

receive IR commands

from hand-held remote controls and
relay the commands to the Main
S y s t e m U n i t v i a a 2 - c o n d u c t o r
shielded cable. Generally, sensors

are placed so that you can easily and
naturally point your remote control
directly at them. Niles offers an array
of easily concealable sensors: wall-
m o u n t , c e i l i n g - m o u n t , s u r f a c e -
mount and table-top. IR sensors are
the “eyes” of the system.

2. The

IR Main System Unit

pro-

vides a connection hub for the IR
sensors and the IR flashers and is
generally located near the A/V com-
ponents. The IR Main System Unit’s
level controls and LED indicators
enable you to calibrate and trou-
bleshoot an IR extender system. The
Main System Unit is the “heart” of
an IR extender system.

3.

Infrared Flashers

transmit the

infrared signals from the IR Main
System Unit to your A/V compo-
nents. Niles manufactures flooding
flashers (model IRC-1) and miniature
“pin-point” flashers (model IRC-2).

Six remotely located IR Sensors are connected to an IRP6+. One IR Flasher, connected to the IRP6+, is transmitting an IR command
to the Receiver’s IR sensor. The IRP6+ enables you to connect up to eight Niles IRC-1 Flooding Flashers and up to sixteen Niles
IRC-2 MicroFlashers. The IRP-6+ is powered by plugging into an unswitched AC outlet.
