Oxmoor Corporation, LLC’s SPOT-1 Infrared Emitter Panel simplifies the design requirements for Infrared transmission in small facilities. This Infrared Emitter Panel is ideal for applications where
discreet, unobtrusive IR systems are required.
The 72-diode array is designed to cover small “spot”
areas of approximately 314 to 2,800 square feet. It
is ideal for use in hotels, courtrooms, classrooms,
museums, and other facilities of this type.
SPOT-1 is housed in a standard Halo H7TH 6-inch
recessed ceiling light enclosure. The enclosure
comes with the Halo 70PSH trim ring and lens and
provides for easy installation in most types of overhead ceiling.
SPOT-1 has an IR transmission bandwidth from
95 kHz through 3 MHz. It requires a single AC
power connection between 100 VAC and 230 VAC,
and a modulated RF connection made through a
BNC style connector. With an input impedance of
25 k ohms at 95 kHz, multiple units can be series
and driven from a single modular channel.
SPOT-1 provides an automatic on and off feature.
When using either a 95 kHz or 250 kHz carrier
frequency (the standard frequencies used for hearing impaired applications) an internal jumper can
be set to detect the 95 kHz or 250 kHz kHz carrier
frequency. The unit turns itself off when the carrier
frequency is not present. This feature greatly
extends the life of the emitter panels.
SPOT-1 can be used with any standard IR Receiver
that operates between 95 kHz and 3 MHz.
The Emitter Panel is ideal in applications where
adjacent rooms open into one large room, as in a
room combining application. The panels can be
synchronized by using the Oxmoor PIR-88M EightChannel Programmable Infrared Modulator.

SPOT-1 EMITTER SET-UP
SPOT-1 SET-UP OVERVIEW
When driving SPOT-1 with a carrier frequency operating
at 76.8 kHz, 95 kHz, or 250 kHz, SPOT-1 can be configured
to automatically turn off when no carrier frequency is
detected. SPOT-1 will turn on again when it detects the
appropriate carrier frequency. This feature conserves
energy and extends the life of the 72 emitter diodes.
If the transmitter is operating at a carrier frequency other
than 76.8 kHz, 95 kHz, or 250 kHz, jumper P5 has to be
set to the OFF position. This causes SPOT-1 to remain on
until its power is removed. If P5 is set to the OFF position,
jumpers P6 and P7 are removed from the circuit and can
be left in any position.
If the RF modulator is operating at 76.8 kHz, 95 kHz, or
250 kHz, move jumper P5 to the ON position. If the RF
modulator is operating at any other frequency, jumper P5
must be in the OFF position.
Jumper P6
If the RF modulator is operating at 76.8 kHz, move jumper
P6 to the 76.8 kHz position and P7 to the OFF position. If
the RF modulator is operating at 95 kHz, move jumper P6
to the 95 kHz position and P7 to the OFF position.
Jumper P7
If the RF modulator is operating at 250 kHz, move jumper
P7 to the 250 kHz position. P6 can be positioned either to
76.8 kHz or 95 kHz when operating at 250 kHz.
CAUTION: If the 250 kHz frequency is not used, be sure
to position the 250 kHz detector in the OFF position!
