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.)

Drill a 3/4” .hole
Push the IR receiver head
through the hole.
Push the IR receiver head

The IR-2400 can be directly connected
to the P-1205 in two different ways:
1) Through the 3.5mm jack
2) Through the screw terminal connector
For larger systems, a parallel connecting
block such as the C-1201(not shown)
can be used to connect several IR
receivers to the IR input of the P-1205.
Note: Match the Signal,
Ground, and +Voltage
terminals on the IR-2400
with the corresponding
terminals on the P-1205
