1 How to Use the Extender
1.1 Introduction
Infrared (IR) remote controls do not work properly when obstacles between the remote
control and the audio/video devices disturb the operating signal. This problem can be
solved using radio frequency (RF) as a carrier for IR commands. The Remote Control, in
combination with the Extender, can operate audio/video devices from virtually any location.
When the front blaster of the Extender cannot reach all devices or transmits with too much
power, you can use the included Single IR emitters. You can set up the Single IR emitters in
two ways:
• The Single IR emitters in combination with the front blaster.
When there is limited space around the IR receivers of the devices, for instance in a small
closet.
• The Single IR emitters instead of the front blaster.
When you want to transmit IR signals very accurately, you turn off the front blaster and
control the devices by using the Single IR emitters alone.

7How to Install the Extender
2 How to Install the Extender
Make sure you have the following components: Extender, power adapter, Single IR emitters
and optionally screws.
The installation of the Extender consists of 4 main steps:
• Configuring the Extender;
• Connecting the Extender;
• Positioning the Extender;
• Installing the Single IR emitters.
2.1 How to Configure the Extender
In the Link Extenders to components step of the New Project Wizard of the Configuration
Program:
• Define the channel;
• Add Extender 0 to the project;
• Link the components to the Extender;
• Define which IR port to use: the front blaster or one of the 4 other IR ports.
ETip
To add more than one Extender to the project, see How to Do More on page 10.
2.2 How to Connect the Extender
1Plug the power cable into the back of the Extender.
2Plug the power adapter into the mains wall socket.
When connected, the Power LED on the Extender will light up.
2.3 How to Position the Extender when Using the Front Blaster
For optimal results, the Extender should be positioned horizontally, either facing up or facing
down.
Make sure to place the Extender in a central position aimed directly at the A/V devices.
The front blaster (the front part of the dark plastic window on top of the Extender) in
particular should be aimed at the devices, since the IR signals sent out by the IR blaster must
reach the IR receivers of the devices.
For optimal IR reception, position the Extender so the devices are located within its working
range, as shown in the picture below.
8How to Install the Extender
Once you have found the best position, you can optionally mount the Extender onto a piece
of furniture using screws.
1Drive the screws into a rack, closet or another piece of furniture.
Provide sufficient space to connect the power adapter and to slide the Extender in place.
ETip
Depending on the surface, it may be possible to attach the Extender to the furniture using
a piece of 2-sided tape or velcro.
2Slide the Extender in place.

9How to Install the Extender
2.4 How to Install the Single IR Emitters
The Single IR emitters can be used in combination with, or as an alternative to the front
blaster.
Plug the Single IR emitters into the Extender.
Attach the Single IR emitters to a neighboring surface facing the IR receiver (for aesthetic
purposes or when it is difficult to locate the IR receiver).
–or–
Attach the Single IR emitters directly to the IR receivers of your devices.
Make sure the Single IR emitters are connected properly and that they are placed within
range of the IR receivers of the A/V devices.
DNote
The front blaster is an additional addressable IR port. The IR signals are not sent via
IR emitters but through the front of the Extender. That way it allows you to control
projectors and IR-receivers which are placed outside the rack or closet.
10 How to Do More
3 How to Do More
3.1 How to Set the Extender IDs
The Extender can be used in several situations: out of sight or inside a closet.
Since the Extender ‘communicates’ with the Remote Control, you must set the same
Extender ID (identity) on both appliances. The settings depend on whether you have a single
Extender or multiple Extenders.
Single Extender
When you use only one Extender, you can keep the default setting for the Extender ID
(ID=0).
In the Link Extenders to components step of the New Project Wizard of the
Configuration Program, add Extender 0 to the project.
Refer to the Configuration Program’s Online Help for more information.
Multiple Extenders
If you want to operate several of your devices independently, e.g. grouped in different
locations, you need multiple Extenders. When using several Extenders, it is important to assign
a unique Extender ID to each Extender. You can assign 16 Extender IDs (from 0 to 9 and
from A to F).
1Choose an Extender ID for the Extender by turning the Extender ID dial with a small
screwdriver.
2In the Link Extenders to components step of the New Project Wizard, add the same
Extender IDs to the project.
Refer to the Configuration Program’s Online Help for more information.
3Try to operate your devices with the Remote Control.
The busy LED on the Extender will blink when the Extender receives a correct command.
4Repeat this procedure for every Extender.
