Frequently Asked Questions - 500998 MuxLab

What is the MuxLab 500998 IR Emitter used for?

The MuxLab 500998 IR Emitter is used to transmit infrared control signals from an AV source (like a TV or STB) to an AV display through an active balun transmitter, enabling remote control of the source from the display location.

Does the 500998 come with a remote control?

No, the 500998 is only the IR emitter. It does not include a handheld remote control. The IR emitter works in conjunction with a separate IR sensor (e.g., MuxLab 500999) and your existing remote.

What IR formats does the 500998 support?

It supports multiple IR data formats including NEC code, RC5 code, RC6 code, Grundig code, RCA code, Zenith code, and Sony 12-bit code.

What is the carrier frequency of the 500998?

The IR emitter operates at a carrier frequency of 38 kHz.

What type of connector does the 500998 use?

It uses a 3.5mm mono plug connector.

What are the dimensions of the 500998?

The emitter itself measures 0.79” x 0.95” x 0.51” (20 mm x 24 mm x 13 mm), with a 71-inch (1.8 m) cable.

Is the 500998 compatible with MuxLab baluns?

Yes, it is designed to work with MuxLab active balun transmitters, including models 500145, 500405, 500406, and many others (see manual for full list).

How do I connect the 500998 IR Emitter?

Connect the 3.5mm plug of the IR emitter to the IR output port of a compatible MuxLab active balun transmitter. The transmitter then sends the IR signal over the extension cable to the receiver.

What is the operating temperature range for the 500998?

The operating temperature is 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F), and storage temperature is -10° to 70°C (14° to 158°F).

How do I clean the 500998 IR Emitter?

Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquids, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the epoxy resin enclosure.
