How does it work?

MARMITEK B000GIXH42 Powermid XL Infrared Extension 1

Point your remote control at the Powermid XL™ IR Receiver. The IR Receiver receives these infrared signals, converts them into RF signals and sends them onto the Powermid XL™ IR Transmitter. The IR Transmitter then converts these back into infrared signals and sends them to your HDD-recorder, set-top box, satellite decoder, audio set, etc.

Installation

IR Receiver

  1.  Place the IR Receiver in the room/area from which you wish to operate your equipment.
  2. Point the front of the IR Receiver (with Marmitek logo) towards the point at which you want to use the remote control (maximum 6 metres).
  3. Connect the Power Adapter to the IR Receiver and insert this into the mains socket.

IR Transmitter

  1. Place the IR Transmitter in the room/area in which the A/V equipment you wish to operate is located.
  2. Point the front of the IR Transmitter (with Marmitek logo) towards the equipment you wish to operate.
  3. Connect the Power Adapter to the IR Transmitter and insert this into the socket.

Range
Range between Transmitter and Receiver depends on:

  • The number of floors and walls through which the signal has to travel and the materials used.
  • Other 433 MHz sources such as wireless headphones or wireless speakers can significantly limit the range of the Powermid XL™. The best result is obtained if these sources are switched off when using the Powermid XL™. The Powermid XL™ works fine with wireless telephones.
  • Some satellite receivers must be placed closer to the Powermid XL™ as a result of the effect the two devices have on one another. Try the Transmitter at a range of locations in order to obtain the best range.

Does the signal of the Powermid XL travel through walls and ceilings?

How do I check whether the Powermid XL transmits the signal of my remote control?
When transmitting the signal of your remote control, a red LED will light up on both the transmitter and the receiver.
Can I transmit signals from my wireless keyboard using the Powermid XL?
If your wireless keyboard uses standard infrared signals (40 kHz), you can extend this wireless signal. Contact the supplier of the wireless keyboard to check whether your keyboard uses this frequency.
Does the Powermid XL also work with Bang & Olufsen equipment?
No. Bang & Olufsen uses a different infrared frequency. The Powermid XL does not support this frequency.
