ENGLISH 3 Your product

Congratulations on your purchase of the IR Control 10™. With it you can extend the IR (infrared) signals of remote controls. The IR Control 10™ makes it possible to operate A/V devices while these are in a closed cupboard or when your A/V equipment is out of sight.

3.2 Package contents

1 x IR Module 1 x IR Receiver 2 x IR Extension cable with two IR emitter LEDs 1 x Power adaptor 1 x Manual 4 Getting started

Locate your A/V equipment in a closed cupboard, TV cabinet or even in another room. The IR receiver must be installed in view of your own remote control. Stick the IR LEDs on your A/V equipment and conceals the IR main module neatly. Point the remote control at the IR receiver in order to send the appropriate command to the IR LEDs (via the IR main module). These will then immediately pass this onto the A/V equipment.

The IR Control 10™ is made up of three main components;

The IR Receiver receives infrared commands from your remote control and sends these onto the IR Module.

The IR Module receives infrared commands from the IR Receiver, processes them and sends them onto all connected IR Extender Cables.

3. IR extension cable with two emitter LEDs

The IR extension cable receives the infrared commands from the IR Module and converts them via the IR LEDs into infrared signals. The IR emitter LEDs have a limited range and therefore they have to be stuck accurately on the IR receiver window of the A/V device you want to operate.© MARMITEK

The IR Module is the main component that connects IR Receivers, the power adapter and IR Extender Cables to one another. All of the IR Module connections are now explained so that you can get the most out of all of the options available.

IR RCVR: standard IR input (3.5mm jack) for the enclosed IR Receiver SCREW TERMINAL: IR input for connecting up to 6 IR Receivers in parallel. +12VDC: Red GND: Black STATUS: Yellow IR DATA: White

1 – 4: four mini jack outputs for connecting the IR extension cables. EMITTER / BLASTER: every output can be switched separately for connecting blaster or emitter LEDs.

In order to check that the system works correctly, it is advisable to first test the set-up you had in mind. To do so, connect everything as described below but do not stick the components securely.

4.3.1 Locating the IR Receiver

Place the very small IR Receiver in a way that it is visible for your (infrared) remote control and it can receive the sent commands (max. 10 meters). The most logical location for the IR receiver is, for example, on the cabinet in which the A/V equipment is located or near the TV. You can run the cable underneath or behind, using the notch at the back of the IR receiver housing; this allows the cable to be hidden easily. Use the self-adhesive strip which is supplied to locate the IR receiver just about anywhere you please. Experiment with the location before you stick the IR receiver in its final position. Note! The sticky strip may lead to discolouration or leave glue residues on certain surfaces.IR Control 10™

4.3.2 Installation of the IR extension cable with emitter LEDs

Place the LEDs from the IR extender cable precisely on the IR window (infrared sensor) on the A/V equipment that you wish to operate.

Ensure that the IR extender cable’s LEDs are stuck precisely on the A/V device’s infrared sensor (this can be extremely accurate on some devices). The exact position can easily be located by shining a torch on the front panel and looking for the IR sensor window. All IR LEDs include self-adhesive film with which they are attached to your A/V equipment. Test the position and the performance of the IR LEDs before you secure them to the IR window on your A/V equipment. If you use only one of the two LED’s, leave the other IR LED unused. Never remove it from the extension cable!

4.3.3 Locating the IR Module

Mount the IR Module at an accessible place behind or alongside your A/V equipment, in the vicinity of an electrical socket. Be aware of the cable length of the IR LEDs and the IR receiver. Make sure the connections for installation remain accessible.

4.3.4 Connecting the IR Module

1. Connect the installed IR extension cables to the ‘IR OUT’ connector of the IR

cable with one blaster LED is connected. In any other case, leave the switch in the EMITTER mode. NOTE: a wrong choice between the two possibilities can cause damage to the IR LEDs and they can even become defective.

3. Connect the installed IR receiver cable to the ‘IR RCVR’ connector of the IR

4. Connect the power adapter to the ‘12VDC’ connector of the IR Module and

connect it to the mains.© MARMITEK

4.3.5 Perform a function test of the product

1. If the IR Control 10 XTRA™ is properly connected, the light on the IR receiver

flashes if you push a button on the (infrared) remote control and aim it towards the IR receiver.

2. Close the doors of your cabinet and make sure the A/V equipment cannot receive

an infrared command directly from the remote control. Otherwise this could lead to operating problems.

3. You can now operate your A/V equipment via the IR Control 10 XTRA™ through

the closed cabinet doors! If the IR Control 10 XTRA is not reacting in a correct way, try experimenting with the placement of the IR receiver and/or IR extension cables (emitter or blaster). Placing it somewhere else could give a better result.

4.4 Advanced installation

4.4.1 Connecting multiple IR receivers

If you want to operate your A/V equipment from multiple rooms, you can connect up to 6 IR receivers in parallel to the IR module. Cut therefore the standard connector of the IR receiver and connect it to the SCREW TERMINAL of the IR module (see paragraph 4.1).

4.4.2 Extend the cable length of the IR receiver

Only the cables between the IR receiver and the IR module can be extended. The IR cables with emitter or blaster LEDs cannot be extended. Place the IR module as close as possible to your A/V equipment and extend the cable between the IR receiver and the IR module if needed to a maximum of 300 meters with CAT5 cable (or equal). Cut the standard 3.5mm connector off the IR receiver cable and extend the cable according to the example below.

ENGLISH 5 Frequently asked questions (FAQs) The A/V equipment does not respond to signals from my remote control. The IR receiver has a receiving sensitivity of about 10 metres with an acceptance angle of 90 degrees. Range is also dependent on the remote control used. If the ‘IR data’ light on the IR Receiver is continuously illuminated, the IR receiver is probably being disrupted by another infrared signal. Try to locate the IR receiver so that it encounters as little disruption as possible from, for example, direct sunlight, Flat Screen TVs, (LCD, Plasma, LED), fluorescent lighting or energy- efficient light bulbs. The IR receiver works with all standard (infrared) remote controls. The only exception (known to us) is Bang & Olufsen (B&O). Ensure that the IR receiver and the IR extender cable are correctly connected and that these are plugged in properly. 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 so that less infrared light is received via the IR window. Do you have other questions that have not been resolved by the above information?

ENGLISH 7 Optional Extra IR receiver (Art. nr. 08142) Every system needs at least one IR receiver (up to 6). With an extra IR receiver you can also operate your A/V devices from another room. See datasheets of the IR receivers at www.marmitek.com IR extension cable with one blaster LED (Art. nr. 08144) An IR blaster radiates much more infrared light (even up to 2 meters) so it can operate multiple devices. Placement of the IR blaster is a lot less critical as opposed to IR LEDs. See datasheets of the IR Blaster LED on www.marmitek.com. IR extension cable with two emitter LEDs (Art. nr. 08145) The LEDs of the IR extension cables with 2 emitter LEDs have to be stuck to the A/V device(s) you want to operate. See datasheets of the IR emitter LEDs on www.marmitek.com. 8 Notification
