NX-RF200 Base Station

NX-RF200_Manual.qxd 10/27/08 12:48 PM Page 3

Introduction

The NX-RF200 base station is an “addressable” base station.
RF Addressing gives you the ability to control as many as 60 identical
components throughout a house. To enable better range and reliability
the NX-RF200 is equipped with the Narrow Band RF reception (like the
NX-RM610), so is only compatible with other Narrow Band remotes.

NOTE: The NX-RF200 is ONLY compatible with Narrow Band remotes:
the current versions of the NX-RM610 and the NX-RM820 remote
controls.

NX-RF200 Base Station

1

1. NX-RM remote controls send radio
waves in every direction, so your
client enjoys “No More Pointing”
operation!

2. The NX-RF200’s integrated Narrow
Band RF receiver receives commands
from any Narrow Band remote
control.

3. The NX-RF200’s built-in Front
Blaster sends commands to
components in the same cabinet
space as the
NX-RF200.

4. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix
to the front panels of your client’s
components (over the built-in IR
sensor). The Flashers relay
commands to components out­of-sight of the NX-RF200’s Front
Blaster. The flashers plug in to the
NX-RF200’s rear flasher line outputs
via their 10 foot cables.
Uniquely, the NX-RF200 can also
connect to rear panel IR Inputs via
its two adjustable Outputs.

Features and Benefits

Interference Rejection and Extended Range via Narrow Band

The NX-RF200 receives RF (radio frequency) signals via its integrated RF
receiver and antenna. The NX-RF200 displays RF interference via a bright
red Status LED, which flickers when interference is present if the ID is set
to 0. Simply relocate the NX-RF200 should interference occur.

Two Fixed IR Outputs

The NX-RF200 is equipped with two fixed IR line outputs with standard 3.5
jacks for standard IR emitter/flashers.

Two Variable IR Outputs Match Rear Panel IR Inputs

The NX-RF200 is equipped with two adjustable IR line outputs. Each output
can be individually matched to rear panel IR inputs on any component that
is designed to be operated by a standard IR repeater. The outputs utilize a

3.5mm jack and are compatible with standard IR emitter/flashers as well.

Up To Fifteen Equipment Locations With Identical Components

Each NX-RM remote is “addressable.” They can be programmed to specifi­cally control components in a particular room by installing an NX-RF200
base station at each location. In operation it’s simple: when you select a
device located in the Den, the NX-RM remote only sends commands to the
Den. When you select a device located in the Family Room, the NX-RM
remote only sends commands to it.

A Single NX-RF200 Can Control an Array of Identical Components
or Identical Zones of a Multi Zone Preamp/Matrix Switcher

Each NX-RF200 has four “addressable” IR Line Outputs. For example, you
can control up to four identical TV’s with one NX-RF200 or route volume
commands for a specific zone to a particular zone IR input on a multi-zone
preamp. If you have more than four identical components or zones, up to
15 additional NX-RF200s can be installed to control them (thus allowing up
to 60 identical components or zones in one house).
