Introduction: Thank you for your purchase of a Knoll CUT- IR infrared emitter. This unique emitter is a blocking style (does not permit other infrared signals to be read by the component receiver) that can be cut (with scissors) to almost any size and shape to become a non blocking emitter. The CUT-IR is designed to be installed directly over the IR sensor window of the controlled device. It is the only emitter on the market that can be installed on non-flat surfaces, as it can bend around uneven component surfaces. It also features a blue color blinking talkback led to give visual confirmation that the infrared remote signal is being rebroadcast to the component. Features:  Can be cut with scissors from an infrared blocking emitter to non blocking  Can be bent to attach to non-flat IR sensor windows.  Blue color visable talkback led can be covered with black tape to remove talkback indication  Industry standard yellow color 3.5mm plug jacket. Attaching the emitter to the IR sensor window First decide if the CUT-IR will be blocking (does not permit other infrared signals to be read by the component receiver) or non- blocking to other infrared signals on the controlled device. The bendable CUT-IR shell does not allow other infrared signals to pass through it. If it is to be non-blocking; use a pair of scissors to cut down the size of the emitter as desired. Thin guide lines are etched into the CUT-IR surface so that the emitter can be cut square. Be careful not to cut the wires or components on the emitter. Locate the IR sensor window on the component and test that the emitter is in the correct position before removing the emitters adhesive layer protector. In some cases it may be difficult to find the location of the component IR sensor. Consult the owners manual or manufacturer if this location is not readily apparent. Once the IR sensor window is located and emitter has been tested, remove the emitters adhesive cover and affix the CUT-IR with its underside emitter leds positioned to the center of the component to be controlled IR sensor window. The CUT-IR can be bent around uneven surfaces and will continue to stick perfectly. Connecting the CUT-IR Simply insert the mono 3.5mm mini plug of the CUT-IR into any of the “EMITTERS” jacks on a Knoll Systems connecting block such as the IR55. CAUTION: Never connect the CUT-IR directly to a power supply as it will instantly destroy the emitter and there is no visual indication that it has been destroyed. If it still works it can be tested with a common diode checker. If you are more technically advanced and need to do so, the yellow plug can be snipped off and the wires directly connected without a connection block. The wire with the white stripe is positive. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Knoll Systems technical support at 1 800 566 5579. Technical support is available from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, Pacific time.
