How IR repeating works

1. The IR receiver is wired to the IR hub which routes the signal to IR emitters
2. Point an IR remote control at the IR receiver
3. And the emitter repeats the IR signal in the other room.

Be sure the emitter is attached directly over the component’s IR receiver. To locate the IR receiver, shine a flashlight into the unit and look for the sensor.

Specifications subject to change without notice.

Directivity of IR Sensor

The effective receive distance of all IR receivers changes when the IR remote control is not directly in front of the IR sensor.

The graph below describes the performance of the IR sensor device used in this Channel Vision IR receiver. Please note that the graph below marks the distance as a percentage of the maximum distance. So at 0º, the distance is 1.0 (or 100%) and at 30º, the distance is 0.7 (or 70%) and so on.

Actual transmission distances are dependent upon frequency of remote control (40kHz has max range) and luminosity of remote control (i.e. Some remotes are brighter than others.)

Under ideal conditions, ranges of >40 feet are possible.

Mounting the IR receiver: Option 2 – Using the hole mount

1. Drill a 3/4” .hole
2. Push the IR receiver head through the hole.
3. Insert the IR receiver head into the IR receiver hole mount.
4. Push the IR receiver hole mount and IR receiver head back into the hole.

Mounting the IR receiver: Option 3 – Using the tabletop mount

1. Push the IR receiver head through the hole in the tabletop mount.
2. Insert the IR receiver head into the IR receiver hole mount.
3. Push the IR receiver hole mount and IR receiver head back into the hole in the tabletop mount.
