Optimizing IR Flasher Levels

Test a few commands for each device before fixing the flasher in

place on the front panel of a device.

Since TiVo, Replay TV, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all

extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation, you should test

them thoroughly. Put up the on screen guide and test the navigation

arrows. Compare operation via RF to the original remote control.

Operation should be identical. If operation is inconsistent or slug-

gish, lower the IR line output and/or reposition the flasher.

If you still have sluggish operation, check that the remote control is

set to a particular LINE OUT, rather than ALL. When IR commands

are sent to all the flashers in a cabinet, you can have difficulty

adjusting the IR Output. Reprogram the remote control to send IR

commands only via a specific (1-6) Line Output, then readjust the

IR Line Output level.

Note: Line 6 is a dual port and requires the included sleeved emit-

ter for long term IR use.

1. Connect an IR emitter to each IR output and run the emitter

wire to the front panel of each component. DO NOT STICK the

emitter in place. ADJUST the level first.

2. Adjust each of the IR Output levels with the included adjust-

ment tool for best operation . If the component operates best at

minimum level, but is still operating sluggishly or intermittently,

move the emitter farther away from the components IR sensor.

IR Outputs:These ports can be conditioned as discrete, ‘routed’

outputs that only send IR commands to the specific device that

each emitter is attached to. This allows selective control of multiple

same-brand, same-model components, (multiple DVD players, SAT

receivers, etc.) and assures accurate control in that a given compo-

nent’s commands are routed only to it’s dedicated IR output and

emitter, preventing IR splash from multiple emitters flashing at the

same time. Port #6 is a dual port with the RFTX-1 and requires a

sleeved emitter when in use as an IR emitter. POLARITY: Tip=IR

data, Sleeve=GND.
