Pass-Through Configurations

This method allows IR signals generated from hand-held remotes to easily

pass through the opaque red shell/cover. The internal IR LED can be

oriented to either face towards or away from the shell (Figure 1),

depending on its output configuration. Use the low-output configuration

when device is being saturated by an IR signal. Use the high-output

configuration when the device isn’t receiving enough of an IR signal and

requires more strength. The side with the round “bump” is the high-output

side.

CC-IRC IR Emitter Overview

The IR Emitter adheres directly to the IR control window of your

equipment by using clear two-sided tape to securely adhere the opaque

shield. This “standard configuration” allows you to control your equipment

either from either IR emitters or a hand-held remote control.

The two black adhesive-backed window shields (Figure 3) are included

within each emitter package and allow for alternate configurations. With

this shield (surrounding the internal emitter), you can restrict IR reception

through the device’s control window by blocking any interference or IR

signals produced by sources other than the internal emitter. Without this

shield, any incoming IR signal can pass through to the IR control window

and overlap signals sent via the emitter (Figure 1).

Note: Each CC-IRC package is shipped with four sealed alcohol pads

which can be used to clean any adhesive residue left from a previous

installation of the window shield on the surface of a device’s IR

control window.

Removing the Factory-Installed Shell

The factory-installed shell

is easily removed by

carefully separating the

two halves with a

sharp-edged tool, such as

an X-Acto™ knife.

The IR LED can then be

reversed or removed

when the shell is

separated. Once the IR emitter and/or shield

installations have been completed, the housing

can be re-assembled by pressing the two halves

firmly together.

Shielded Configuration

Use this configuration to prevent interference from fluorescent lights or

other IR sources. The metallic shield prohibits passage of external IR

signals and ensures proper IR signals will be received from the emitter.

1. Remove the IR LED from the factory-installed shell (Figure 2).

2. Test fit the location and size of the IR shield (Figure 3) on the target

device. If necessary, use scissors to trim the shield to fit the opening

of the IR window.

3. Remove the adhesive backing from the IR shield and carefully place

the IR LED into the recessed area using the correct orientation

(Figure 1). Make sure the wires attached to the IR LED are not

shorted together.

4. Flip the shield-emitter combo back over and begin to carefully position

the shield over the IR control window so that it covers the entire

surface (Figure 4). This keeps any other signal from coming through.

5. Press firmly on the shield surface to activate the pressure-sensitive

adhesive.
