About this User’s Guide
This user’s guide covers the Extron IR 101 and IR 201 infrared (IR)
remote control systems.
The IR 101 remote control system consists of:
• An IR 101 hand-held remote control
• An IR detector with a 6-foot cable and an RJ-11 connector
• An IR 101 remote control adapter with a 3-foot cable and a 25-pin
connector
The IR 201 remote control system consists of:
• An IR 201 hand-held remote control
• An IR detector with a 6-foot cable and an RJ-11 connector
• An IR 201 remote control adapter with a 3-foot cable and an RS-232
T-connector
• A standard 9VDC power supply with a standard IEC connector
• A standard IEC power cord
The remote control can only operate a switcher that is
configured as master, with no switchers slaved to it. Refer
to the associated switcher manual to configure the
switcher.
Aim the hand-held unit at the IR detector and operate the remote.
The maximum operating distance between the hand-held remote and
the IR detector is 30 feet. The hand-held remotes operate at a carrier
frequency of 38 kHz.
The IR detector receives the IR signals from the remote, converts
them to logic signals, and sends them to the adapter. The IR detector
is equipped with a 6-foot RJ-11 cable for connection with the adapter.
You can increase the distance from the detector to the adapter, up to a
maximum of 50 feet, using a male-female, RJ-11 extension cable.
The IR 101 adapter connects to the switcher’s rear panel Remote
connector and uses the switcher’s contact closure interface for input
selection. The IR 201 adapter connects to the switcher’s rear panel
RS-232 port and uses the switcher’s RS-232 interface for input
selection. The IR 201 adapter’s T-connector allows the connection of
a host system in addition to the adapter. Both adapters use logic
signals to duplicate the switcher’s front panel input selection through
the switcher’s contact closure (IR 101) or RS-232 (IR 201) interface.
The IR 101 adapter receives 5VDC on pin 13 of the Remote connector.
The IR 201 adapter receives power from an auto-switching external
power supply that provides worldwide power compatibility.
Operation
Pressing the Enter key is not required for these functions.
To select an input using the IR 101 or IR 201 hand-held remote
control, aim the hand-held unit at the IR detector and press the
numeric button for the desired input. The maximum operating range
is 30 feet. For the System 10 switcher, press the 0 key to select input
10. Auto or AS A/V switchers ignore IR 201 remote commands when
they are in auto-sync detect mode.
When connected to a System 4, a System 8 Plus, or a System 10 Plus
switcher, the IR 201 lets the user control the switcher’s Display
Power, Display Mute, RGB Mute, and Audio Mute functions.
Pressing the keys for these functions on the remote toggles these
functions on and off in the switcher.
Battery installation
Install two AAA batteries as shown (figure 1).
