User manual NILES IRC-1

[. . . ] Here, the Main System Unit cleans and amplifies the electronic signal. Finally, the Main System Unit outputs the signal to the IR flasher which relays the infrared command to the audio/video component you wish to control. The IRC-1 relays the infrared command using "flashes" of infrared light in a powerful flooding pattern from its two 1 infrared L. E. D. 's. [. . . ] Niles offers several wall mount flashers which may improve the cosmetics of this type of installation. See your local Niles dealer for more information. INSTALLATION & OPERATION Route the connecting two-conductor wire to the Main System Unit. Connect the ends of the wire to the corresponding positive and negative terminals labeled "Flasher" on the Main System Unit (See Figure 4). IRC-1 PARTS GUIDE High Output L. E. D.

Consult the operating manual of the Niles main system unit or consult your local Niles dealer for more information. Increasing the Wire Length If the connecting wire is too short to reach the main system unit, a new length of heavier gauge wire should be spliced onto a six inch length of the original wire. For distances between ten and twenty feet upgrade the original wire to an eighteen gauge two-conductor wire. For distances of up to two hundred feet go to a sixteen gauge two-conductor wire. Mounting the IRC-1 Test the operation of the IRC-1 in the planned mounting location. If all of the components operate correctly via the IR repeater system, mount the IRC-1 using it's self-adhesive Velcro strip. Remove the protective coating from the back of the Velcro strip attached to the IRC-1 and stick it in place. Coil any excess connecting wire and tie it in place. TROUBLESHOOTING This troubleshooting guide discusses the most common problems that prevent an IR flasher from operating correctly. it is farther away from the sensor window or off to the side of the sensor window. [. . . ] This is done by turning 12 If problems persist, refer to the user's manual for the Main System Unit or contact your local Niles dealer. TECH TIP Wire size is expressed by its AWG (American Wire Gauge) number. twelve AWG is physically larger than fourteen AWG. IRC-1 Infrared Flasher ® 12331 S.
