Jobsite IR-SMR User manual

OPERATION
Operation of the IR-SMR is simple. Stand within
the operational range of your IR-SMR. Aim your
hand-held remote at the IR-SMR and press the
button for the desired command. Your IR
command is instantly repeated to your A/V
equipment.
Green “Power Status” LED
When the IR-SMR is correctly connected as
shown in Installation Diagram,the Green LED
will stay lit as long as the preamp/receiver is on.
When your preamp/receiver is off, the LED will
stay off.
Blue “Talkback” LED
The blue “talkback” LED on the IR-SMR visually
confirms the reception of an IR command.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Test the remote control(s) by operating the A/V
equipment directly. Replace the batteries if
needed.
2. Double-check the cable connections on all
IR-SMRs and on the Connecting Block. Look
for open, shorted or reversed wires.
3. Test for interference from the following sources:
nNeon or halogen lights in the room.
nLight dimmers, beginning with those closest to
the IR-SMR.
nObserve the IR-SMR’s LED while performing all
the tests. It is possible to have interference from
more than one source.
Eliminating optical feedback
Optical Feedback Loop
If you have an IR receiver in the same room as a
emitter, and you have some low-level noise or
interference, an optical feedback loop can occur
which will interfere with proper operation.
Symptoms can include: poor range, intermittent
operation or no operation.
Solution:
Replace the IR-E1HO “flooding Emitter” with IR-E1
or IR-E2 Emitters and cover all emitters with the
supplied IR Blocking Covers.
Identifying the type of interference
The “talkback” LED on the front of the IR-SMR is
auseful trouble-shooting aid.
The LED should light blue only when a remote
command is being received. However, if the LED
on the IR-SMR “flickers”, and the IR-SMR functions
normally, there is no cause for concern.
If the IR-SMR does not work, and the LED
does not light at all:
Test the remote control(s) by operating the A/V
equipment directly. Replace the batteries if needed.
Double-check the wiring connections of the IR-
SMR, at the IR Connecting Block. Consult your IR
Connecting Block’s manual for more detail.

PREPARING FOR
INSTALLATION
The IR-SMR Receiver cable must reach the
proposed location of the IR Connecting Block. If
not, use Category 5 cable to extend the length.
Mark the cable with a Wire label, describing
where the cable originates from, rather than
where it will terminate. Make sure the mounting
surface is cleaned and degreased before
installation.
TOOLS REQUIRED
n1/8" Slotted screwdriver
nWire stripper
nWire labels
INSTALLATION
1. Determine a mounting location for the IR-SMR.
2. Make sure the mounting surface is clean.
3. Remove the protective coating from the self-
adhesive tape and attach the IR-SMR to the
mounting surface.
4. Run the IR-SMR cable. Label the cable for
future reference.
5. Strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each
CAT5 wire.
6. Locate the IR Connecting Block Snap and Lock
Connectors and remove them if they are
plugged in.
7. Use a small flathead screwdriver or your
thumb to raise the locking tabs, exposing the
holes on the connectors.
8. Insert each wire into the appropriate hole and
snap down the locking tabs. Figure 2.
9. Insert the smooth
side of the
connector plug into
the smooth side of
the IR Connecting
Block socket.
See installation diagram.
Installation Note:
The talkback LED can be disabled if it continues
to flicker or visual feedback is not desired.
Discrete on and off IR commands are available
on the JobSite Technical support website for
disabling the feedback LED. The address is:

If the IR-SMR does not work, and the LED
flickers or remains solidly lit:
Cover up the receiver with a piece of cardboard
(your hand will actually create electromagnetic
interference under some conditions). Observe
the IR test LED.
IR Test LED Off:
Optical Interference.
IR Test LED On or Flickering:
Electromagnetic Interference.
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference):
Solution:
1. Move the receiver or the receiver cable away
from the EMI source or move the source of the
EMI away from the receiver or the cable.
2. Connect the receiver’s GND terminal to true
earth ground (if this isn’t feasible use the
Connecting Block’s GND terminal).
There are many methods for reducing
interference. Which solution is best for you
depends on your situation. If you require further
assistance contact JobSite Technical Support at
