Channel Vision IR-1200 is a simple IR hub that is perfect for small IR systems that only require a single IR receiver and emitter. It has a power supply voltage of 8 - 12 VDC, supports an IR frequency range of 30 kHz - 60 kHz, and has a maximum wire distance from the IR hub of 200 ft. (24 AWG). The IR pickup range is 40 ft. @ 38kHz, and 25 ft. @ 56kHz.

The IR-1200 is easy to use and install. Simply connect the IR receiver to the IR hub, and connect the IR emitter to the IR receiver. The IR hub will then amplify the IR signal and send it to the IR emitter, which will then send the signal to the IR receiver.

Be sure the emitter is attached directly over the component’s IR receiver.
To locate the IR receiver, shine a flashlight into the unit and look for the
sensor.

If your coax IR system is not
working, check to see if the
IR engine is feeding
approximately 12 Volts DC
onto the coax between the
shield and center pin. (Any
voltage between 8-12VDC is
OK). If there is no voltage
between the center pin and
shield, check the connectors
on each end of the coax.
If you are trouble shooting a whole-house IR system and you measure
approximately 8-12 Volts DC on the output of the IR engine, but 0 Volts DC
on the output of your RF splitter, check the following items:
1. Make sure you are using a DC passing splitter. Traditional splitters will
short out DC voltage traveling on the coax and prevent your IR system
from working.
2. Make sure that there are DC blocks (model 3109) on any output from the
RF splitter that will not be connected to an IR-4100. If outputs from the
splitter are connected directly to TV sets without going through a IR-
4100 or DC block, the system voltage will be shorted out by the input of
the TV set.
3. Double check the fittings at the end of your coax cables. If a little bit of
shielding is touching the center pin, the voltage will be shorted out and
the system will not work.
Don’t worry. The IR-4000 engine has a current limiting circuit. If the engine
is shorted (due to a bad connection or a non-DC passing splitter)
nothing will be harmed.
If your IR system is not working:
1. Try using your remote control directly on the source component (without using
IR repeating). Make sure there’s not a simple problem such as week batteries
in the remote control.
2. Try controlling a different device to see if the problem only occurs when
attempting to control a specific device. There are some devices that use
unusual IR frequencies that these IR receivers cannot detect.
3. Make sure you have positioned the IR emitter over the IR sensor on your
equipment. It may be difficult to locate; you may find it helpful to have another
person use the remote through one of the IR receivers while you slowly move
the IR emitter across the face of the component, when you are directly over
the IR sensor, your equipment should respond to the IR signals from the
emitter. Use the provided double stick tape to attach the emitter to your
equipment at that location.
4. Sometimes signals from the IR emitter can be too strong for the sensor in your
component. If you suspect this, hold the emitter a few inches away from your
component and see if it responds. If it does, you can place an extra piece of
foam tape (which is provided for attaching the emitter) directly over the
emitters LED. This will attenuate the signal and solve the problem.

A basic IR system, like the one shown below, is often used when an
audio/video signal is distributed to a remote TV location using an RF
modulator. The IR-4100 is located near the TV, providing a connection for
an IR receiver, and the IR-4000 is located near the audio/video source,
providing an IR emitter output.
The IR-1200 Simple IR hub is perfect for small IR systems
that only require a single IR receiver and emitter.

The diagram shown here, will create 2 IR zones that will allow for independent control
of identical devices from the same manufacturer. The ‘Zone’ IR emitters will only
respond to signals from the IR receiver that is in the same zone. The ‘Global’ IR
emitters will respond to signals from any IR receiver in the system.
IR systems may include several different styles of IR receivers depending on
the specific application in each room. The C-1201 joins all the signals from
the IR receivers and outputs the to the P-1205.
