IR-RXC IR Sensor

Resources | Reference Guide | Drawing

The IR-RXC External IR Receiver extends IR reception for the 232-STS. Using the included swivel mount, the unit can mounting in any position and aimed for best reception. Powered by the external IR IN input on the 232-STS, the IR-RXC is switchable for sensing Contemporary Research high-frequency 57 KHz (default) and low-frequency 38 KHz IR, the IR-RXC can be mounted in any position.

Operation

IR Reception: Includes high-frequency (57 KHz) or low-frequency (38 KHz) sensors, selected by DIP switch DIP Switch: 4-position switch selects IR operating modes
Status LED: Red LED indicates IR code reception
IR Out: 3.5mm jack to connect IR signal and power to an iC controller or tuner
Power: 10.5-16 VDC (12 typical), 10 mA typical, 25 mA max, powered by iC controller or tuner

Includes

IR connection cable, 6’, 3.5mm male plugs at each end
Swivel-mount bracket

Installation

If needed, change DIP switch settings to match requirements. Only one switch in each pair (1&2, 3&4) should be on.
1 On = enable 38KHz
2 On = enable 57KHz (default)
3 On = output normal (default)
4 On = output inverted

Use included IR connection cable to connect IR-RXC to iC unit’s IR In input. If you need to create a custom-length extension cable, wire connectors as follows:

3.5mm stereo plug
Tip = IR data signal
Sleeve = DC power+ from IR In jack on iC unit
Ring =Ground (GND)
