General information

The use of an infrared remote control is normally limited to the room in which the IR-receivers or equipment are set up. If you would like to use your infrared remote control from a different room, for example, to select a different radio station on your tuner, the IR-signal distribution via wiring can be used. A typical installation always consists of one or more infrared receivers, a connection block and a number of mini-infrared transmitters.

• Unique holder to store the mini IR-transmitter safely in its place and to make it easy to remove when necessary.
• Provided with a 3.5mm mini-jack.

EN

16-72X

niko

Installation

Locate the IR-receiver of the hi-fi device and clean it if necessary. Remove the strip covering the self-adhesive layer on the bottom of the IR-holder and fix it onto the IR-window of the AV device. Then insert the IR-transmitter into its holder.

The mini-jack plug is plugged into the connection block (16-724) labelled 'EMITTERS'.

Attention: make sure that the dipswitches of the connection block (16-724) are in the 'EM ON' position when the mini IR-transmitter is plugged into the corresponding connection. The 16-726 or 16-727 can be damaged if this jumper is set incorrectly.

16-728 IR-RADIATOR

Specifications

Unlike the 16-726 and 16-727 mini-IR-transmitters, this IR-radiator is mounted slantingly, either above or below the AV equipment. One IR-radiator can therefore control several AV components. The 16-728 contains 2 powerful IR-diodes, which make it possible to mount it directly in front of the AV components. In this case, it is possible to bridge a distance of up to 10m if the ambient conditions permit this and if there are no obstacles between the IR-radiator and the IR-receivers of the AV equipment. The IR-radiator can be fixed onto a level surface with its self-adhesive layer and an additional mounting screw.

EN

16-72X

niko

Installation

• Mount the AV equipment so that none of the individual components interfere with the IR-reception of the others. Make sure the components are stacked straight and that any shelves on which the equipment is placed stand as far back as possible, so that they do not block the IR-emissions.
• Before permanently mounting the IR-radiator, it is recommended to try out a number of different positions. If necessary, please install a second IR-radiator (see figure p.81).
• Once its optimal position has been selected, the 16-728 can be fixed to a level surface by means of its self-adhesive layer. Where necessary, it can also be secured with an additional screw.
• The 16-728 is plugged into the connection block (16-724) labelled 'Emitters/Blaster',
• The corresponding dipswitch of the connection block (16-724) into which the IR-radiator has been plugged should be set to the 'BL-ON' position.

WIRING AND INSTALLATION

Basic installation

This installation does not require extensive wiring. This set-up is used in situations where the audio and video equipment is installed in a closed cupboard, and IR-operation is desired.

EN

16-72X

niko

• Place the IR-receiver (16-723) in a visible position on the AV rack.
• Plug the mini-jack (16-723) of the IR-receiver into the connection of the IR-connection block (16-724) labelled 'IR RCVR'.
• Plug the mini-jack of the mini IR-transmitters (16-726 or 16-727) into the connections of the 16-724 IR-connection block labelled 'Emitters'.
• Set the dipswitches of the 16-724 IR-connection block to 'EM ON' and 'NET ON' or 'NET OFF'.
• Connect the power supply block (16-725) to the IR-connection block labelled '12V DC'. The system is now ready for use.

Configuration of several zones

If you wish to use the IR-remote control of your audio and video equipment from rooms other than the room in which the audio and video equipment is actually set up, it is possible to make use of the wired solution with several IR-receivers.

• Run a 4-wire BUS cable (min. 0.5mm copper diameter per wire, 0.8mm recommended) to the different locations where the IR-receivers (16-720, 16-721, 16-722, 16-723) are set up. If this cable is of the Cat. 5e type, the total cable length of the installation (i.e., the sum of the lengths of all individual cables) will be limited to 300m .
• Connect the 4-wire connection wire of the IR-receivers to the 4-wire BUS cable. To do this, you can use the optional connector print (16-729). The 4-pole mini-jack of the IR-receiver is plugged in here. The BUS cable can then be connected by means of screw connectors. If the standard connection wire of the IR-receiver is too long, it can be shortened. In this case, the insulation of the individual wires of the IR-receiver must be removed. When doing so, pay attention to the correct connection of +12V , GND, IR and status, and the colors of these wires when connecting them to the BUS cable.

EN

• Connect the 4-wire BUS cable with the IR-connection block, paying attention to the correct connection of the +12V , GND, IR and the status signal.
• Plug the mini jack of the mini IR-transmitters (16-726 or 16-727) into the connections labelled 'Emitters' on the IR-connection block (16-724).
• Set the dipswitches of the IR-connection block (16-724) to 'EM ON' and 'NET ON'.

16-72X

niko

• Plug the mini jack of the IR-receiver (16-720) into the connection on the IR-connection block (16-724) labelled 'IR RCVR'.
• Connect the power supply block (16-725) to the IR-connection block labelled '12V DC'. The system is now ready for use.

Control of the Niko audio distribution system A44 or A88 via IR

It is also possible to control the Niko audio distribution system A44/A88 via the IR-signal distribution system. To do this, connect one of the outputs of the connection block (16-724) labelled EMITTERS to the 2 terminals of the 'Direct Infrared' input of the A44 or A88 audio distribution system.

Remarks concerning installation and use

• In some cases, plasma screens can emit undesired IR-interference signals. This could disturb the IR-reception of the IR-receivers 16-720 to 16-723. You should therefore carefully consider where you place the IR-receivers.

EN

16-72X

niko

• Two audio or video devices of the same type and brand cannot be used with one single IR-installation, as they will react to the same IR-code.
• Remark regarding power consumption: The standard power supply (16-725) can supply a maximum power of 700mA . Therefore, take into account the following average power consumptions per component:

IR-receivers (16-720 to 16-724): 6mA

Mini IR-transmitter (16-726): 15mA

Mini IR-transmitter (16-727): 30mA

IR-radiator: 150mA

Example of a correct installation:

An installation with 6 IR-receivers, 2 mini IR-transmitters (16-726) and 2 IR-radiators therefore typically requires a power supply of: 6 × 6mA + 2 × 15mA + 2 × 150mA = 366mA .
