30 Function Hand-Held IR
Transmitter: CNIRHT-MM
Description
Functional Description
The CNIRHT-MM is a 30 function, hand-held infrared (IR) transmitter
designed to work with the CEN-TVAV and/or CN-TVAV. By setting an
IR transmitter identification (ID) code in the CNIRHT-MM and using the
keypad buttons, any television or audio-visual (TV/AV) device attached
to the CEN/CN-TVAV may be controlled remotely. The functions of the
individual buttons are determined by the CEN/CN-TVAV and/or the
Crestron remote control system (herein referred to as the Cresnet system)
SIMPL™Windows®program.
To prevent interference from fluorescent lighting and most standard IR
frequencies, the CNIRHT-MM operates at 455 kilohertz (kHz). The
CNIRHT-MM must have an unobstructed line-of-sight to the CEN/CN-
TVAV being controlled. A light-emitting diode (LED) on the front of the
CNIRHT-MM indicates IR transmission when any keypad button is
pressed, is used to display the IR transmitter ID code that is set into the
unit, and flashes continuously when the CNIRHT-MM battery voltage is
low.
Physical Description
The CNIRHT-MM, shown on the next page, is housed in a slim, high-
impact ABS plastic black enclosure. The front contains one LED and 30
keypad buttons. At the rear of the unit is the battery compartment that
contains one 9-volt alkaline battery (included) and a sensor (photo
transistor) that is used to set the IR transmitter ID code.

effective angle of the signal narrows as the CNIRHT-MM approaches its
maximum range of 30 feet.

2The latest software version can be obtained from the What’s New page (SIMPL
Windows section) or Downloads page (SIMPLWIN Library) of Crestron’s
website (www.crestron.com). New users are required to register in order to obtain
access to the FTP site.
3Filenames for update files have a UPZ extension and can be obtained from the
What’s New page (Control Systems Update Files section) or Downloads page
(OPSYS Library) of Crestron’s website. Update files are specifically designed for
certain control systems. If an update file is loaded into a control system other than
the device for which it was intended, it may lockup the control system which
would then have to be returned to Crestron. Update files with an “S” designator
are for the ST-CP, “V” designator for CEN/CN-TVAV, “W” for CNRACKX/-
DP, and “X” for CNMSX-AV/Pro control systems. Control systems are able to
recognize and reject incorrect update files. However, when updating control
systems, do not ignore any Crestron Viewport warning prompts or messages.
As of the date of manufacture, this unit has been tested and found to
comply with specifications for CE marking.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Transmitter ID Code
Every CNIRHT-MM communicating with the CEN/CN-TVAV requires
a unique IR transmitter ID code that matches an ID code specified in the
SIMPL Windows program in the CEN/CN-TVAV. Multiple CNIRHT-
MMs may be used with a single CEN/CN-TVAV but each unit needs a
unique Transmitter ID. This code is a two-digit hexadecimal number and
to maintain diversity within a Cresnet system, codes from 10 to FE are
used for the transmitters. The Transmitter ID of the CNIRHT-MM is
factory set to 10.
NOTE: Do not confuse Transmitter ID with network (NET) ID used by
all Cresnet system equipment and user interfaces.

4•• 30 Function Hand-Held IR Transmitter: CNIRHT-MM Operations Guide -DOC. 8171
NOTE: If the CNIRHT-MM is within line-of-sight of multiple
CEN/CN-TVAVs, the Transmitter ID must be unique only to the device
for which it is intended. Otherwise, the CNIRHT-MM will control
multiple CEN/CN-TVAVs simultaneously.
There are two methods to set the Transmitter ID code of the CNIRHT-
MM, by pressing keypad buttons that represent a Transmitter ID code or
via the CNIDC Identity Code Cable and a local personal computer (PC)
that contains SIMPL Windows or VisionTools™Pro-e (VT Pro-e).
Set or Display Transmitter ID via Keypad
Buttons
The Transmitter ID of the CNIRHT-MM may be accessed by using the
keypad buttons. This allows the Transmitter ID to be set or displayed
without using a CNIDC and PC.

NOTE:
Morse code is displayed as short-flashes of the LED to represent dots and
longer-flashes to represent dashes.
1. Remove the CNIRHT-MM battery compartment cover.
2. At the battery compartment, disconnect the battery.
3. To establish a “0” key for displaying or setting the Transmitter
ID, press and hold any button for at least five seconds while re-
connecting the battery. Note that the LED of the CNIRHT-MM
will illuminate as the battery is connected, and will remain lit
until five seconds have expired as an indication that the button
has been held long enough to enter programming mode.

4. Release the “0” key and observe the LED of the CNIRHT-MM
blink once to indicate the keypad programming mode.
5. To set or display a Transmitter ID, perform the appropriate step
below.
5a. To set a Transmitter ID, press any button other than the “0”
key to establish a “1” key. To enter the desired Transmitter
ID code, use the “0” and “1” keys, enter any non-weighted
zeros, and enter the most significant bit first. For example, to
set the transmitter code to 12, press 0001 0010. After the
Transmitter ID code has been entered, it will be verified via
Morse code flashes of the LED. The unit then returns to the
normal operating mode.
5b. To display the current Transmitter ID, press the “0” key.
The Transmitter ID will be displayed via Morse code flashes
of the LED, most significant bit first. The unit returns to the
normal operating mode when the display is complete. To set
another Transmitter ID, repeat this procedure from step 2.
Set Transmitter ID via CNIDC and PC
To set the Transmitter ID of the CNIRHT-MM via the CNIDC and PC,
the PC must have the Crestron Viewport that is available in SIMPL
Windows or VT Pro-e. To set the Transmitter ID, perform the following
procedure.
1. Connect the 9-pin connector of the CNIDC to an available
COM port on the PC.
2. Position the CNIRHT-MM button-side down so the battery
compartment is accessible.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover.
4. Refer to the diagram on the next page. Place and hold the IR
probe of the CNIDC over the sensor (photo transistor) of the
CNIRHT-MM. The probe should be positioned between the
battery compartment and the sensor opening so that it
completely covers the sensor.
