Expanded “No More Pointing” Operation -
Indoors and Outdoors, Through Walls, Doors
and Cabinets
Thank you for purchasing the EXPANDER kit (MRF-100)!
With the Expander, you can expand the range of your Unifier, Customizer or Automator remote control 50 to 100 feet through walls, doors, inside or outside. Since the Expander kit picks up the remote control’s RF (radio frequency) signals
from any direction, you don’t have to point the remote control towards your components.
Nothing has to be done to the remote control for this feature
to work. However, the Expander is only compatible with Universal Remote Control’s Unifier (URC-100), the
Customizer (URC-200) or the Automator (URC-300). Every time you press a button on one of these unique remote controls, they send both a line of sight IR (infrared) command
AND an RF duplicate. The MRF-100 radio frequency receiver will pick up the RF signals and translate them into infrared commands that control your components.
Note: The radio signals from a Unifier, Customizer or Automator remote control will not control components directly. You must have an Expander to
receive the radio signals. Components that came with “no pointing” radio remote controls cannot be operated by the Unifier, Customizer or Automator remote control unless the component can be switched to line of sight
(Infrared) control via it’s internal menus. Some remote control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated by the Unifier, Customizer or Automator remote controls.

1. The Unifier, Customizer or Automator remote control sends RF (radio frequency) signals to the Expander, which is an RF receiver.
2. The Expander converts RF to IR (infrared) commands and sends them out to components in the same cabinet space via the built-in front blaster.
3. Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the Expander kit) affix to the front panels of your components. The flashers relay commands to components out of sight of the MRF-100 front blaster. The flashers plug in to the MRF-100 rear flasher line output jacks. Each flasher has a 10’ cable to easily reach components on nearby shelves.
