Crestron CNXRMIRD IR Detector
Infrared Detector: CNXRMIRD
Description
Functional Description
The Crestron Infrared (IR) Detector (CNXRMIRD) is used by Crestron's
CNXRMC (Room Solution Box) and CNXRMCLV (Room Solution Box
with Local Video) to detect fixed low frequency (38KHz) type IR
formats generated by typical hand-held remote devices. Commands
received by the detector can either be processed locally to control video
or audio, or sent to a host control system.
NOTE: Any universal remote transmitting RC5 code (and some Sharp
codes) can communicate with the CNXRMIRD. The Philips Pronto
contains built-in RC5 commands for out-of-box use. If you use the
Philips Pronto, select RC5 code communication. For more information
regarding code verification and mapping a universal remote, refer to the
latest versions of the CNXRMC (Doc. 8162) and CNXRMCLV (Doc.
8161) Operations Guides. Creston IR remotes require the CNIRGWA IR
gateway for communication and are not supported by the CNXRMIRD
detector.
Physical Description
The IR Detector contains an IR receiver, which is connected to a mini
phone jack by a six-foot cable. The IR receiver is housed in a black
enclosure. The IR receiver window is located on the front of the detector.
NOTE: The receiver window must be kept away from obstructions,
direct sunlight and high frequency fluorescent light while it is receiving
IR signals.
