How to Install the Extender
2 How to Install the Extender
Make sure you have the following components: Extender, power adapter, Single IR emitters
and optionally screws.
The installation of the Extender consists of
4 main steps:
• Configuring the Extender;
• Connecting the Extender;
• Positioning the Extender;
• Installing the Single IR emitters.
2.1 How to Configure the Extender
In the Link Extenders to components step of the New Project Wizard of the Configuration
Program:
• Define the channel;
• Add Extender 0 to the project;
• Link the components to the Extender;
• Define which IR port to use: the front blaster or one of the 4 other IR ports.
E Tip
To add more than one Extender to the project, see How to Do More on page 10.
2.2 How to Connect the Extender
1
Plug the power cable into the back of the Extender.
2 Plug the power adapter into the mains wall socket.
When connected, the Power LED on the Extender will light up.
2.3 How to Position the Extender when Using the Front Blaster
For optimal results, the Extender should be positioned horizontally, either facing up or facing
down.
Make sure to place the Extender in a
central position aimed directly at the A/V devices.
The front blaster (the front part of the dark plastic window on top of the Extender) in
particular should be aimed at the devices, since the IR signals sent out by the IR blaster must
reach the IR receivers of the devices.
For optimal IR reception, position the Extender so the devices are located within its
working
range, as shown in the picture below.
