When the front blaster of the Extender cannot reach all devices or transmits with too much power, you can use the included Single IR emitters. You can set up the two ways:

• The Single IR emitters When there is limited space around the IR receivers of the devices, for instance in a small

closet.

• The Single IR emitters When you want to transmit IR signals very accurately, you turn off the front blaster and

control the devices by using the Single IR emitters alone.

2 How to Install the Extender

Make sure you have the following components: Extender, power adapter, Single IR emitters and optionally screws. The installation of the Extender consists of

4 main steps:

• Conﬁguring the Extender;

• Connecting the Extender;

• Positioning the Extender;

• Installing the Single IR emitters.

2.1 How to Conﬁgure the Extender

In the Link Extenders to components step of the New Project Wizard of the Conﬁguration Program:

• Deﬁne the channel;

• Add Extender 0 to the project;

• Link the components to the Extender;

• Deﬁne which IR port to use: the front blaster or one of the 4 other IR ports.

E Tip

To add more than one Extender to the project, see

How to Do More on page 10.

2.2 How to Connect the Extender

Plug the power cable into the back of the Extender.

Plug the power adapter into the mains wall socket. When connected, the Power LED on the Extender will light up.

2.3 How to Position the Extender when Using the Front Blaster

For optimal results, the Extender should be positioned horizontally, either facing up or facing down. Make sure to place the Extender in a

central position aimed directly at the A/V devices. The front blaster (the front part of the dark plastic window on top of the Extender) in particular should be aimed at the devices, since the IR signals sent out by the IR blaster must reach the IR receivers of the devices. For optimal IR reception, position the Extender so the devices are located within its

working

range, as shown in the picture below.
