PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

If you are installing the IR-WMR into an existing wall,

take time to consider any possible obstructions

which may be hidden inside the wall, such as wood

or metal studs, electrical, telephone or other types of

wiring, plumbing, AC or heating conduit. You should

avoid locating the IR-WMR near potential sources of

electrical or optical noise, such as light dimmers or

low-voltage lights.

Tools Required

n1/8" Slotted screwdriver

n1/4" Slotted screwdriver

nNo.2 Phillips screwdriver

nWire stripper

nWire labels

INSTALLATION

1. Identify the IR Receiver wire. Label the wire for

future reference.

2. Strip 2" of outer jacket off the end of the CAT5, then

1/4" of insulation from each strand of wire to be used.

3. Locate the Snap and lock connector and remove it

if it is plugged in.

4. Use a small flathead screwdriver or your thumb

to raise the locking tabs, exposing the holes on

the connector.

5. Insert each wire into the appropriate hole and

snap down the locking tabs. See Figure 2

6. Insert the smooth side of the connector plug into

the smooth side of the IR-WMR socket.

7. Install the IR-WMR into

the device ring.

8. Attach the cover plate.

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 talkback

LED. The address is:

USING THE IR-WMR WITH A JOBSITE

M-4KP KEYPAD

The IR-WMR is fully compatible with the JobSite

M-4KP Keypad: follow the wiring instructions in

Figure 3.

OPERATION

Operation of the IR-WMR is simple. Stand within the

operational range of your IR-WMR. Aim your hand-

held remote at the IR-WMR 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-WMR is correctly connected, 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-WMR 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-

WMR’s and on the Connecting Block. Look for

open, shorted or reversed wires.

Suggested wiring of WMR to a RJ45 connector

for connection to a JobSite M-4KP keypad.

3. Test for interference from the following sources:

Neon or halogen lights in the room. Light dimmers,

beginning with those closest to the IR-WMR.

Observe the IR-WMR’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-WMR is a useful trouble-

shooting aid.

The LED should light blue only when a remote

command is being received. However, if the LED on

the IR-WMR “flickers”, and the IR-WMR functions

normally, there is no cause for concern.

If the IR-WMR 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-WMR, at the IR Connecting Block. Consult your IR

Connecting Block’s manual for more detail.

If the IR-WMR 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
