1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the IR Control 10/11 XTRA™. With it you can extend the IR (infrared) signals of remote controls. The IR Control 10/11 XTRA™ 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. HOW DOES IT WORK?

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 blaster LED wherever you want in the cabinet 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 10/11 XTRA™ is made up of three main components;

(1) IR Receiver

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

The IR Control 10 XTRA™- contains an surface mount IR Receiver
The IR Control 11 XTRA™- contains a panel mount IR Receiver

(2) 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 or one blaster LED

The IR extension cable receives the infrared commands from the IR Module and converts them via the IR LEDs or IR blasters 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 AV device you want to operate. An IR blaster LED radiates much more infrared light (even up to 2 meters) so it easily can operate multiple devices and therefore placing can be less accurate.

4. CONNECTIONS

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.

4.1 IR Input

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

4.2 POWER Input

12VDC: Power adapter for the IR Module (enclosed), 5VDC/200mA

STATUS: Power adapter for the status signal (not enclosed), 5-24VDC or 5-12VAC

Some A/V equipment (eg AV Receivers) have a switched power supply (230VAC) at the back. This output automatically turns ON and OFF whenever the A/V device is switched ON or OFF. By connecting a power adapter (5-24VDC or 5-12VAC) to this switched output and connecting it with the STATUS input from the IR module, a signal is sent to the IR Receiver. When the A/V device is switched ON, a GREEN light is lit on the IR Receiver.

4.3 IR Output

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.

5. INSTALLATION

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.

5.1 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 place for the IR Receiver is, for example, on (or integrated into) the cabinet containing the A/V equipment, or near the TV.

Exposed IR Receiver (IR Control 10 XTRA™)

• 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.

Hidden IR Receiver (IR Control 11 XTRA™)

• First test if everything works well in the desired set-up before drilling a hole (12mm) to mount the hidden IR receiver.
  After mounting, click one of the two supplied caps (black or white) on the IR Receiver's front if desired.

5.2 Placing the IR extension cable with one blaster LED

Marmitek recommends the use of IR blaster LEDs because they can operate multiple A/V devices at the same time and they are very easy to install. Use the supplied IR extension cable with emitter LEDs only as solution if one or more devices cannot be operated (see chapter 5.3).

Place the IR blaster LED in the cabinet of the A/V devices you want to operate.

• With a correct placement one blaster LED can operate all A/V devices placed in the same compartment.
• In some situations it is necessary to place a second blaster LED if not all A/V devices can be operated with one blaster LED.
• Or you place the blaster LED

(2)

(3)

on one of the A/V devices in the middle of the cabinet and the other equipment will be operated as well by the reflection of the infrared signal.

5.3 Installation of the IR extension cable with emitter LEDs (as problem solution)

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!

5.4 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.

5.5 Connecting the IR Module

1. Connect the installed IR extension cables to the 'IR OUT' connector of the IR Module.
2. Switch only the switches of the IR Module in BLASTER mode if an IR extension 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 Module.
4. Connect the power adapter to the '12VDC' connector of the IR Module and connect it to the mains.

5.6 Perform a function test of the product

1. If the IR Control 10/11 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 10/11 XTRA™ through the closed cabinet doors!

If the IR Control 10/11 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.

6. ADVANCED INSTALLATION

6.1 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).

6.2 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.

IR receiver	CAT5 cable	IR module
Red	Orange	+12VDC
Black	Blue	GND
Yellow	Green	STATUS
White	Brown	IR DATA

6.3 Connecting AVR connection cable

AV equipment from different brands (for instance Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo, Marantz, etc) have a direct "IR IN" connector at the back. A direct connection with the AVR connection cables is an alternative way of connecting your AV equipment. The use of

an IR extension cable (with emitter or blaster LED) is not necessary here.

Note; check the technical documentation of your equipment to decide whether the IR module of the IR control 10/11 XTRA can be connected directly. Most IR cables use a 3.5mm mono jack connector where the tip is used for the "IR Data" and the sleeve for "GND".

7. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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 does not work with some A/V devices and models that use higher IR frequencies such as 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.
