IR Control Solutions for Any Environment

A comprehensive line of Plasma-Friendly

IR Sensors, state-of-the-art Emitters and

IR Distribution solutions that further solidify

ELAN’s prominence as the one-stop-shop for

all your Custom Audio, Video and Home

Automation needs.

Page 3

New for 2005, ELAN’s 30-piece

IR control product line was

developed to specifically

address today’s broad and

ever-evolving custom

installation needs.

More than ever, today’s home

installations require highly

reliable IR control of a wide

array of audio and video

components. Today’s custom

A/V installations need to

address the issues of plasma

and LCD television emissions as

well as that of ambient and

fluorescent light that can cause

tremendous problems with the

consistent transmission of IR

signals from hand-held remote

controls. And, as more and

more A/V sources are being

added to homes, IR control

signals need to be distributed

to a growing number of sources

within an installation, and

spread throughout many

rooms.

With that in mind, ELAN has

designed each of our IR

Sensors, Emitters and IR

Connection Blocks to faithfully

deliver IR commands

throughout the home, even in

the most problematic

environments.

Regardless of the installation

type, homeowner needs or

budget, ELAN delivers the very

best in reliable home control

and entertainment.

IR AT-A-GLANCE

PLASMA-FRIENDLY IR SENSORS

Most every room in a home can present numerous challenges to reliable transmission of IR control signals. Ambient light sources (sun or fluorescent lighting) and plasma or LCD TVS can interfere with IR. All ELAN IR Sensors feature a unique filtering system that reduces interference from these sources. These Sensors can be flush-mounted into a wall or cabinet, placed on a shelf or table, or surface-mounted virtually anywhere. There are two Extreme Plasma Sensors that provide reliable IR control under even the most severe Plasma emission situations.

IRS1 Surface-Mount IR Sensor With Plug IRS2 Surface-Mount IR Sensor With Bare Leads IRS3 Flush-Mount IR Sensor With Plug IRS4 Flush-Mount IR Sensor With Bare Leads IRS5 Tabletop IR Sensor With Plug IRS6 In-Wall IR Sensor IRS7EP Extreme Plasma IR Sensor With Plug IRS8EP Extreme Plasma IR Sensor With Bare Leads

IR EMITTERS

ELAN offers a wide variety of Emitters, each designed for highly reliable IR transmission. Each single- or dual-head Emitter comes with a unique docking module that stays in place on the A/V component’s IR window while allowing for easy removal of the Emitter when servicing equipment. An IR-transparent housing allows IR from hand-held remotes to pass through to the component. 8’ leads and a 3.5mm plug are standard on all Emitters. Certain models include an IR Blocking Shield.

IR ACCESSORIES

Important accessories that complete ELAN’s IR Control product line.

IR DISTRIBUTION

ELAN offers a comprehensive line of stand-alone IR Distribution Hubs that accommodate anything from basic IR repeater systems to multi-zone distribution scenarios.

Just about every room in every house has something in it that can adversely effect the reliable transmission of IR control signals. Ambient light sources, such as compact fluorescent light fixtures (CFL) or sunlight streaming through a window at a certain time of day can interfere with IR transmissions. And, as is well documented, the emissions generated by Plasma television sets can wreak havoc with IR. ELAN’s solution? A complete line of IR Sensors that can be used in any environment! Each and every

ELAN IR Sensor features a unique filtering system that reduces interference from both ambient light sources and Plasma or LCD TVs–and ELAN has a Sensor type for just about every application. ELAN IR Sensors can be flush-mounted into a wall or cabinet, placed on a shelf or tabletop, or surfaced-mounted anywhere you need one. There are even two Extreme Plasma Sensors that were designed to provide reliable IR control under the most severe Plasma emission situations.

IR SYSTEMS

Perfect for ELAN IR ‘ALL’ port applications where two sources need to be controlled from the same IR output port.

ELAN offers a wide variety of IR Emitters for every application, and all are designed for the reliable transmission of any infrared signal. Each single- or dual-head Emitter comes with a unique docking module that stays in place on the IR window while allowing for the easy removal of the Emitter when rearranging or servicing A/V components. The docking module’s larger surface area also provides better adhesion to component IR windows.

The Emitters’ IR-transparent housing allows infrared from hand-held

remotes to pass through to the component, allowing for in-room, as

well as system control of every source. All ELAN IR Emitters have

8’ leads with a standard 3.5mm plug. Certain models include an IR

Blocking Shield that prevents stray IR commands directed at other

sources from interfering with source control.

Another standard—only with a visible LED that flashes to confirm IR transmission.

IR DISTRIBUTION

Sensors ‘receive’ IR data. Emitters ‘transmit’ IR data. So how does one get this data from point A to point B? Quite easily, actually. In addition to offering a complete line of multi-room controllers that route IR to and from any room in the house, ELAN offers a

comprehensive line of stand-alone IR Distribution Hubs that accommodate anything from basic IR repeater systems to multi-zone distribution scenarios.

The ELAN IRD4 is the heart of any stand-alone IR distribution system. This Amplified IR Distribution Block can connect quad-plug or bare-lead ELAN IR Sensors in one or more rooms and output their signals to up to four IR Emitters. The IRD4’s robust, wide-bandwidth amplifier incorporates reverse voltage protection so that it has the ability to drive both miniature- and high-output Emitters simultaneously. And the IRD4 is expandable! Up to ten IRD4s can be linked together to create a distributed IR system that encompasses every room in the house.

Note: Only 3.5mm quad ‘mini’ plugs can be connected to the 3.5mm IR Sensor input jack of the IRD2. If the IRD2 is to be connected to the IR output of any other ELAN product, use only the 3.5mm Quad-to-Mono interconnect cable included with the IRD2.

Note: Only 3.5mm quad ‘mini’ plugs can be connected to the 3.5mm IR Sensor input jack of the IRD4. If the IRD4 is to be connected to the IR output of any other ELAN product, use only the 3.5mm Quad-to-Mono interconnect cable included with the IRD4.
