INTRODUCTION

Congratulated on buying the Marmitek IR CONTROL 8^TM . With it you can extend the IR (infrared) signals of remote controls. The IR CONTROL 8^TM makes it possible to control up to 8 AV devices while these are in a closed cupboard or when your AV equipment is out of sight. The IR CONTROL 8^TM is a universal IR extender set and is exchangeable with several other IR products of Marmitek and many other makes.

1. OPERATION

The IR receiver of the IR CONTROL 8^TM receives the signal of your remote control and converts it into an electric signal which is relayed to the IR module. Up to 8 IR LEDs can be connected to this module. These IR LEDs make an IR signal of the electrical signal which is received by the IR sensor of your aV apparatus. All signals of your remote control are relayed one to one to all connected IR LEDs. If the IR receiver receives a signal of your remote control it will light up so that you can check the system if it works properly.

2. CONTENTS OF THE PACKAGE

A. 1 × IR Module
B. 1 × IR Receiver
C. 2 × IR Extension cable with 2 IR LEDs

1. STATUS Connection for a STATUS power adapter (not supplied)
2. POWER Connection for the POWER power adapter (supplied)
3. (INPUT) Connection for max. 3 IR receiver(s) (1 x supplied)
4. (EMITTERS 1 till 4) Connection for max. 4 IR Extension cables with each 2 IR LEDs. (2 x supplied)
5. Fastening holes for stable assembling of the IR Module on a smooth underground.

To check the proper working of the system it is advisable first to test the formation as planned. For this reason connect everything as described as follows but don't fix or screw the components yet.

1. Install the IR Module at a place within reach behind or next to your AV equipment and near a 230V plug (100-240Volt 50/60Hz). Take into account the length of the cable of the IR LEDs and make sure that the connections are kept accessible if possible.

2. Plug the required IR Extension cables (with the 2 IR LEDs) into the IR Module (Picture 1 nr. 4). A self-adhesive foil is supplied with the IR LEDs. With that you can fasten the IR LEDs to the IR window of your A/V equipment. Note: it's tricky work. First test the position and working of the IR LEDs before fixing them permanently to the IR window of your A/V equipment. Note: If you use only one of the 2 LEDs, then leave the second IR LED unused. Never remove it from the IR extension cable!

3. Now connect the IR Receiver to the IR Module, for your convenience the connection clip has been connected to the wiring of the IR Receiver, take care when plugging in of the correct position (nuts up) and colours of the wiring. When you have to disconnect the wiring for instance because a connecting clip won't go through a hole in the furniture, connect afterwards the wiring to the clip according to the connection scheme in Picture 2.

4. Place the supplied IR receiver in such a way that it is visible for your infrared remote control. The infrared LED indicator on the IR receiver lights up or flashes when it receives an infrared signal. Use the LED indicator to place the IR receiver in the place with the least interference (LED indicator is not activated or only faintly lights up). Because of the supplied self-adhesive strip installation is possible almost everywhere. Experiment for the correct place before you fix the IR receiver definitively. Note: The adhesive strip can cause discoloration on certain surfaces or leave glue remnants by removal.

5. Connect the power adapter to the 'POWER' connection of the IR module and plug the adapter to a wall plug. Check if the 'POWER' LED is on.

TIP:

• With the help of the supplied IR Extension cables 4 A/V devices can be controlled with the IR Module, which is simply to be extended to maximal 8 A/V devices with the help of one ore two optional obtainable IR LEDs. (Art. Nr. 09777).

• With the help of an extra IR Receiver you can also control your AV equipment from another place (if desired you can extend the connection cable of the IR receiver.)

• built-in IR receiver Art. nr. 08004

• built-on IR receiver Art. nr. 08003

STATUS CONNECTION (Power adapter not supplied)

Picture 3

You can send a Power Status signal to the IR module by connecting a Power adapter to this connection (not supplied; 12VDC/200mA), which is switched by the device to be controlled. When the A/V device or contact is switched in a LED will light up in the IR Module so that you can see that the A/V device is switched in. (see picture 3).

4. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The IR Receiver does not respond to signals of my remote control.

Observe the following directions:

• Check the connections, is the power adapter connected to the correct connection? This must be connected to the 'POWER' connection, the green lamp will burn when the power adapter is plugged in the plug.

• Both the built-in and the built-on IR Receiver has a reception sensibility of about 10 metres at an opening Angle of 90 degrees. Range is also dependent on the remote control used. The IR reception indication LED in the IR Receiver will light up at reception of an IR signal.

• The IR Receiver does not work together with some AV apparatus and models which use a higher IR frequency like for instance Bang&Olufsen (B&O).

• Ensure that the IR Receiver and the IR Extender Cable are correctly connected and that these are plugged in properly.
• Please ensure that the LEDs of the IR extender cable are placed correctly to the infrared sensor of the AV device, this has to be done very precisely. The exact position can be found easily by shining at it with a flashlight.
• Some IR windows from set-top and satellite boxes are very sensitive and are easily disrupted. These devices then receive too much infrared light and will either work badly or not work at all. Relocate the IR LED or IR Blaster so that less infrared light is received via the IR window.
