Contemporary Research IR-RXC How to use

IR-RXC Installer Reference Guide
Introduction
The IR-RXC External IR Receiver extends IR reception for many iC-series controllers. Using the included swivel mount, the
unit can mounting in any position and aimed for best reception. Powered by the external IR IN input on an iC-series
controller, the IR-RXC is switchable for sensing Contemporary Research high-frequency 57 KHz (default) and low-
frequency 38 KHz IR, the IR-RXC can be mounted in any position.
Compatible iC controllers and tuners are:
ICC2-IRC ICC2-VDC 232-STS 232-ATSC

Installation
If needed, change DIP switch settings to match requirements. Only one switch in each pair (1&2, 3&4) should be on.
1 On = enable 38KHz
2 On = enable 57KHz (default)
3 On = output normal (default)
4 On = output inverted
Use included IR connection cable to connect IR-RXC to iC unit’s IR In input. If you need to create a custom-length
extension cable, wire connectors as follows:
3.5mm stereo plugs
Tip= IR data signal
Sleeve= DC power+ from IR In jack on iC unit
Ring= Ground (GND)
