User’s Manual
16 Port IR Router
1.0 Introduction
The Hall Research model IRCNT-16 is used to direct incoming IR signals to
specific components selected by the user. This prevents unintentionally
controlling components that respond to same IR code. Using the IRCNT-16 the
user can direct the IR signal to any one or combination of outputs.
2.0 Features
Front panel IR sensor
Pass-through IR supports carrier
frequencies from 30kHz to 50kHz
IR routes only to selected outputs
Internal Power supply using
standard IEC connector.
Rack mountable with included
hardware – only 1RU.
3.0 Installation
The IRCNT-16 requires 5v compatible IR emitters with standard 3.5mm stereo
or mono plug (such as model CIR-EMT2 sold separately).
Tip = Anode (+) Ring or Sleeve = Cathode (-)
Extension cables may be used to increase the range of the IR emitter. Maximum
length is dependent on the gauge of the wire used. Typical performance:
1,000 feet using 20 AWG or thicker 400 feet @ 24 AWG
When you have several identical components near each other and want to
control selected ones, you have to make sure the emittel IR light signal does
not affect the other components. This can be achieved using a blocking cover
such as Hall Research model CIR-EMT2-CVR
UMA1207 Rev n/c
