Elan IRS1 Manual 

The IRS1 features Advanced IR Filtering Technology that reduces IRI, CFL, EMI, and ESI noise sources in addition to blocking plasma TV emissions. This means that the IRS1 can be used in areas that receive substantial ambient noise such as near plasma TVs or compact floures- cent lights. Note: The IRS1 will take a few seconds to adjust to a given noise source. During this time, the blue Activity LED will glow brightly and then fade out. If the interference disappears momentarily, then returns, the fade down process will repeat. Certain noise sources, however, (such as plasma screens) may result in low-level flickering even after the fade down. This is normal. Such signals have been filtered, allowing most equipment to be controlled. Extreme Ambient Noise In situations where the IRS1’s advanced IR filtering does NOT success- fully filter ambient noise (in very close proximity to a plasma TV, for example), an ELAN IRS7EP or IRS8EP Extreme Plasma IR Sensor should be used. Please see the IRS7EP and/or IRS8EP Instructions for addi- tional information.

The IRS1 features a 3.5mm Quad plug for easy connection to IR distribution blocks, multi-room con- trollers, etc. The IRS2 Miniature Surface-Mount IR Sensor w/ Bare Leads is also available if the Quad Plug is not required. Features • 3.5mm Quad Plug Accommodates STATUS, IR, +12VDC, & GND • ‘Plasma-Friendly’ Technology Helps Block Plasma TV Interference • IR Lens Rejects Visible Light Interference • Internal Crosshatch Shield Inhibits EMI/ESI Interference • STATUS Indicator: Green LED for System On/Off Indication • ACTIVITY Indicator: Blue LED Indicates IR Signal Activity Specifications: • Requires 12VDC power supply, termination block and IR emitters for IR operation. • Mounting: Attach to any flat surface using included adhesive strip. Apply adhesive strip to the back, top, or bottom surfaces of the IRS1. • Power: +12VDC @ 6mA • Carrier Frequency Acceptance Range: 28kHz to 90kHz • Control Range: Up to 35 feet, depending on remote strength and ambient noise conditions. • Control Angle: +/- 50 degrees off-axis • Room-to-Room Wire Recommendations: Cat-5 • Maximum recommended cable length: 1200 feet using Cat-5 • Dimensions: 2 9/16" (65mm) L x 9/16"(14mm) W x 1/2" (13mm) D Status LED (Green) Activity LED (Blue) Striped Side 4-Conductor 3.5mm Plug +12VDC IR OUT GND STATUS IR Lens IR Pickup Diode 8' Lead IRS1 Fig. 1 2428 Palumbo Dr. Lexington, KY 40509 (859) 269-7760 www.elanhomesystems.com 1 4 guides.com

Note: For ELAN system connections, please refer to the appropriate ELAN Multi-Room Controller’s installation manual. A: Basic System Fig. 2 shows a basic IR distribution system using the ELAN IRD4 Amplified IR Connection Block, IRS1 IR Sensor, and IRE1 IR Emitters to control various source equipment. 1. Mount the IRS1 IR Sensor in a recessed cabinet area or under a shelf, using the adhesive strip supplied. 2. Plug the IRS1 and IR emitters into the ELAN IRD4 as shown. 3. Set the dipswitches on the IRD4 to LP ON and NET ON or OFF. 4. Plug in the power supply. 5. IR signals sent to the IRS1 will pass through the IRD4 and control the equipment. B: Multi-Room System Fig. 3 shows an example of multiple IRS1 IR Sensors in a stand-alone multi-room system. These control the various components in the equip- ment area. 1. Pull Cat-5 from each room (home runs) to the IRD4 terminator near the controlled components. Note: MAX DISTANCE of ALL Wire Runs is 1200 ft using Cat-5 cable. When using long lengths, the dipswitch on the IRD4 must be set to the NET ON position and a 500 Ohm resistor must be used. 2. Connect IR sensors in each room to the Cat-5 runs as shown, using the terminal strips supplied. 3. Connect the Cat-5 wires to the correct location on the IRD4 connec- tion terminals (+12VDC, IR, STATUS, and GND). 4. Install and plug the IRE1 Emitters into the IRD4. 5. Set the dipswitches to LP ON and NET ON. 6. Plug the local IRS1 IR Sensor into the IR SENSOR jack. 7. Plug in the PWR2 12VDC Power Supply. 8. IR signals sent to the IRS1s will pass through the IRD4 and control the equipment. Note: Refer to the ELAN IRD4 Instructions for power supply considerations and other important information. STATUS Brightness Fig. 3 also shows how an external resistor can be added to reduce the brightness of the Status LEDs on ELAN IR sensors. In this example, a PWR2 12VDC Power Supply is used as the voltage source to indicate ON/OFF status of an A/V Receiver. Choose a resistor value that achieves the brightness you desire (about 2.2k to 12k, 1/8W). Connect it in series with the STATUS lead on each IR sensor, as shown.
