What is the range of the IR10 remote?

The infrared signal works up to 30 feet (10 meters) in a direct line of sight. Walls or obstructions can reduce range.

Why is my Chief IR10 remote not working?

First, verify batteries are fresh and inserted correctly. Check that nothing blocks the IR emitter. Try reprogramming the remote. If issues persist, reset by removing batteries for 10 seconds.

Can the IR10 remote be used with a universal device?

Yes, the IR10 is compatible with most universal infrared devices from Chief and many other brands. Use the code search method if the code list does not include your brand.

How do I reset the Chief IR10 remote to factory defaults?

Remove the batteries, press any key for 10 seconds to discharge residual charge, then reinsert batteries. This will clear all programmed codes and restore default settings.

Does the IR10 remote have a backlight?

No, the Chief IR10 remote does not include a backlight feature. Keys are not illuminated, so use in well-lit conditions or learn key positions by feel.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: All wiring should be performed following all local codes and ordinances.

NOTE: This device can provide control of any device set up for momentary dry contact inputs. See Dry Contact Closures section.

Locate and Install IR Receiver

The IR receiver consists of two parts. The IR to dry control accessory (A) and the IR Receiver (B).

To install the IR Receiver:

1. Determine a location to place the IR to Dry Control accessory (A) box taking into consideration the desired location of the IR Receiver (B), as well as access to the box to connect control wiring after installation.
2. Connect IR Receiver (B) to the IR to Dry Control accessory (A).
3. Route IR receiver (B) to desired mounting location and secure.

Figure 1
NOTE: The IR10 can use 12V through 24V power that can be obtained directly from the control boards within some Chief automated products.

Changing System Codes

Settings are changed by a combination of remote button presses and partially disassembling the box to change specific jumper settings.

NOTE: For changing what the box expects to receive, you need to remove the housing and remove a jumper (J5).

1. Remove four Phillips screws from housing and remove housing cover. (See Figure 4)
2. Remove jumper. (See Figure 4)
3. Replace housing cover and four screws removed in Step 1.

NOTE: This will switch the IR-10 over to the 82 system code. The remote control will also need to be switched over. (See Table 1-2)

OPERATIONS

Dry Contact Closures

The IR-10 provides dry contacts based on IR input.

Example: Pressing the 'UP' button on the remote will cause a connection to be made between COM and C1. This connection can be used to trigger other devices (SL, Cinematic, or any third party device that requires this type of input).

NEC Protocol

The modulated carrier is usually derived from 455kHz and is 1/12 of the frequency with 1/3 duty cycle.

When data are transmitted repeatedly, the frame cycle is 107.9ms or 186 period.

A frame consists of a syn pulse, an eight-bit custom code, an eight-bit inverted custom code, an eight-bit data code and an eight-bit inverted data code.

IR-10 Programming

IR-10 Control Features:

• Carrier Frequency: 38KHz
• Protocol: NEC - Full Repeat
- System Code(s): 6E (Default) - Multiple Codes Selected via Key-Press (See Figure 3)
