IR Sensors and Receivers
Product Information
The AMX infrared (IR) sensors and receivers (AXD-IR+, AXR-IRSM+, IRX-DM+, and IRX-
SM+) work with AMX IR-format 38 or 455 kHz wireless transmitters.
The AXD-IR+ and AXR-IRSM+ are remote IR receivers used with AMX Axcess Central
Controllers and operate via the AXlink bus to remotely control AXlink devices. The AXD-IR+ is in
a UniMount wall panel that fits into most US-style single-gang enclosures. The AXR-IRSM+ is in
a swivel-mount enclosure for wall or ceiling installations.
The IRX-DM+ and IRX-SM+ are remote IR sensors that work with the Axcess
AXC-RCVI card, AMX Television Managers, and MX8 and MX16 Relay Receivers to remotely
control IR devices. The IRX-DM+ is in a UniMount enclosure and the IRX-SM+ is in a swivel-
mount enclosure.
Behind the IR window on each of the four units is a red IR data LED. The LED is on when the IR
sensor on the unit receives IR data from a transmitter (see FIG. 1).
