GC-RG1

General IR Receiver

Global Caché’s GC-RG1 is an IR receiver used to capture IR frequencies from
30 KHz to 80 KHz. The GC-RG1 plugs directly in the GC-IRE to capture and
digitize IR signals. Receipt of an IR signal is indicated by a blue LED located
behind the front lens. Additionally, the GC-RG1 will directly plug into and operate
within a Xantech or Xantech-compatible environment.

The IR receiver is plasma and fluorescent friendly providing proper GC-RG1
placement. Unwanted signals must not be allowed within the receiver's viewing
angle. The IR sensor is set back in the GC-RG1 to shield it from both infrared and
electromagnetic noise. Place the GC-RG1 to avoid direct line-of-sight aim at
noise sources, such as plasma screens and fluorescent lights. Keep noise sources
out of the GC-RG1's field-of-view for proper operation.

Field of View

The GC-RG1 employs a 3 meter (~10ft) cable with a 3.5mm jack for easy
installation and connection to the GC-IRE or Xantech distribution block. The cable
may be extended to several 100 meters providing th e total cable capacitance does
not exceed 15,000pF. A typical CAT5 or audio cable is 60pF per meter permitting
250 meter (~ 800ft) cable run without signal amplification.
