Crestron IRP2 Infrared Emitter
Infrared Emitter: IRP2
Introduction
The IRP2 is an infrared emitter housed in a plastic shell. The IRP2 shell
emits IR control signals sent to it by a Crestron
shell can be installed directly on the IR sensor window of the controlled
device or at a nearby suitable location. The IRP2 is compatible with
2-Series controllers. It is also compatible with X-Generation controllers
by exchanging the 3.5 mm connector for a 5 mm connector (not supplied).
It is not compatible with the CNMS generation.

Description
The IRP2, shown below, contains an infrared (IR) LED housed in a
miniature, mouse shaped, black, injection molded plastic shell. The IRP2
has a ten-foot (304.8 cm) lead terminated in a two-pin 3.5 mm connector.

Package Contents
In addition to the IRP2, this package also contains an IR mask and twosided transparent tape.
Installation
Attach the IRP2 to the IR Sensor Window
Refer to the following instructions and illustration.
1. Identify the clear, flat bottom surface of the IRP2 shell.
2. Apply transparent silicon adhesive (not supplied) to the flat side of the
IRP2 or use the supplied transparent tape.
CAUTION: Test the silicon adhesive on a non-visible area to confirm
that it will not damage material or equipment.
3. Affix the IRP2 in the center of the IR sensor window on the front panel
of the controlled component.
4. Use a piece of non-damaging tape to hold the IRP2 in position while
the silicon adhesive cures.
5. Remove the tape after the silicon cures.
6. In some cases, identifying the exact location of the sensor window may
be difficult. Consult the owner manual of the unit, or the manufacturer
for the exact IR window location.
7. If the IRP2 shell must be removed and repositioned for any reason, be
sure to completely remove the silicon adhesive and repeat steps 1
through 5.

IR Mask Installation
The IR mask (supplied) is designed to fit over the IRP2 shell, as shown in
the following illustration, so that the sensor window of the controlled
component is completely covered. The IR mask prevents unwanted
external IR signals from passing through or leaking past it. The IR mask
also prevents emitting IR from the IRP2 shell from radiating backward
into the IR sensors of other nearby components.
1. Without removing the adhesive backing from the IR mask, fit the two
pieces together and accurately position them over the IR sensor
window of the component to be controlled.
2. Attach the IRP2 to the sensor window using transparent silicon
adhesive (not supplied). Temporarily tape the IRP2 in place using nondamaging tape until the silicon cures.
3. If necessary, neatly trim the IR mask. Be sure that it overlaps the
margins of the component IR sensor window.
4. Remove the adhesive backing from the IR mask and position it over
the IR sensor window while pressing down firmly.
Attach the IRP2 to Other Locations
Rather than affixing the low output side of the IRP2 shell directly over the
IR sensor window, the shell can be positioned as much as three feet away
on the axis of the IR sensor window. The high output side of the IRP2

shell permits control at this greater distance. Placement of the IRP2 on
surfaces just above or below the IR sensor window, as shown in the
following illustrations, may provide a more pleasing aesthetic appearance.
However, be sure to position the IRP2 shell so that the edge of the
component does not block the IR signal.
NOTE: Placing the IRP2 shell on a cabinet door may result in
interruption of the IR signal if the door is opened.
Possible mounting locations of the IRP2 shell include being attached to a
shelf directly below or above the IR sensor window.
