Infrared Routing and Controllers

R.F. Systems manufactures several infrared routers and sensors for commercial and residential applications.

The following listing will allow your to jump to a particular device:

• IRS - In-Wall Decora® Style IR Sensor
• IRC - Ceiling Mount IR Sensor
• IRT-64 - Master Control Unit
• IRE - IR Emitter
• IRX-6 - Sensor Expander
• TRX-6 - Emitter Expander
• IRM-8 - 8 Output IR Router
• IRM-16 - 16 Output IR Router
• IRM-24 - 24 Output IR Router
• IRM-32 - 32 Output IR Router
• IRM-40 - 40 Output IR Router
• IRMX-84 - 8 Input x 4 Output IR Matrix Router
• IRMX-168 - 16 Input x 8 Output IR Matrix Router

The IRS, IRC, IRT-64 and IRE are the basic modules required to install a remote repeater system.

The IRS/IRC picks up the signals being sent by the handheld remote. The IRS/IRC will clean up the signal and transmit it to the IRT-64 (via a standard 3 conductor cable) where it will be distributed to the source equipment using the IRE mini-emitter. The IRE attaches directly to the IR window of the source equipment using a clear adhesive tape.

This basic IR system allows a maximum of 6 sensors (IRS/IRC) and 4 emitters (IRE). To expand this system refer to the models IRX-6 and TRX-6 expansion units.

Model IRS

Decora® Style Wall Mount IR Receiver/Sensor

The IRS is a wall-mount Decora® style IR sensor designed for use with the R.F. Systems IR Routing system. Installed in a remote room location, the IRS receives the IR command from your existing remotes in that room. The signal is then transmitted to the IRT-64 to be distributed to the A/V source equipment.

IRS Features:

Uses R.F. Systems IR filter to prevent flourecent and neon interference

• Compatible with virtually all brands of A/V equipment and remote controls.
• Greater IR receiving range - 18 to 35 feet.
• Flash-back LED confirms operation.
• Terminal blocks for reliable wiring.
• Simple 3-wire hookup.
• Fits in most standard 18 cu. in. 1 gang electrical boxes.
• Fully shielded electronics to prevent noise interference.
• Frequency response to 2 mHz

Model IRC

Ceiling Mount IR Receiver/Sensor

The IRC is a ceiling mount IR sensor designed for use with the R.F. Systems IR Routing system. Installed in the ceiling of a remote room, the IRC receives the IR command from a handheld remote at full 360 degrees. The signal is then transmitted to the IRT-64 to be distributed to the A/V source equipment.

IRC Features:

• Uses R.F. Systems IR filter to prevent flourecent and neon interference
• Compatible with virtually all brands of A/V equipment and remote controls.
• Greater IR receiving range - 18 to 35 feet.at 360 degrees
• Flash-back LED confirms operation.
• Terminal blocks for reliable wiring.
• Simple 3-wire hookup.
• Uses a 1 1/4" hole saw to mount.
• Fully shielded electronics to prevent noise interference.
• Frequency response to 2 mHz
