IR Receiver

IR Receiver This package contains:
A white face plate and receiver lens.
An infrared receiver that can be mounted in a standard electrical wall box.

Note: An Infrared Transmitter is not included in this kit and must be purchased separately.

The IR Receiver requires an LC-II Control Switch to control the window and/or skylight motors. If you don't already have an LC-II Control Switch it must be ordered as a separate item (LC-II Control Switch) or as a kit (LC-II Control Switch Kit).

The IR Receiver provides a master (common) wireless, line-of-sight, remote switch for controlling an LC-II Control Switch. It can be used with a single LC-II Control Switch or it can be used to centralize the control of multiple LC-II Control Switches in applications where you want to control more than three windows with a single command. Like the RS Module, it can be used with up to 25 LC-II Control Switches to operate up to 75 windows and/or skylights. It also has a Rain Sensor input.

To see how the IR Receiver integrates with all of our other components to form a complete system for motorizing your casement, awning, and skylight windows, take a look our wiring diagram. It should give you a basic guideline for planning and creating your own motorized window system.

Price: $170.95 USD
Part No. IRREC01	-	IR Receiver.

IR Receiver Installation Instructions

You can download the IR Receiver Installation Instructions (448KB) to familiarize yourself with the IR Receiver installation. The installation instructions are in Adobe PDF format and require Adobe's free Acrobat Reader. If you don't have Acrobat Reader you can download it from Adobe's website.

Up to 25 LC-II Control Switches can be controlled from a single IR Receiver. However, the LC-II Control Switches are not controlled individually. In addition, more than one IR Receiver may be used to control one or more LC-II Control Switches. Note: An LC-II Control Switch can still be used for localized control even when it is controlled by an IR Receiver.

Step 1 - Gather Your Tools

#2 Phillips head screwdriver
1/10" (2.5mm) bladed screwdriver
Class II, low voltage wire for the switches
An assortment of wire nuts

Step 2 - Run Electrical Wires

Use Class II wire for all connections. Run low voltage wires at least 12" away from high voltage wires to avoid any electrical interference.
Run two (2) power wires from either a transformer or an LC-II Control Switch to the IR Receiver. Stranded wire is recommended for all power connections.
Run three (3) control wires (Open, Close, and Ground) between the IR Receiver and the LC-II Control Switch.

Step 3 - Set Dip Switches

Settings of the five dip-switch settings should match on both the IR Transmitter and IR Receiver. Dip-switch positions 6-8 must be set to "+".

Step 4 - Connect Wires

Connect the IR Receiver per the wiring diagram and the IR Receiver Connectors table below. If a Close & Hold Switch is going to be used refer to the "Close & Hold Switch Installation" below.
Mount the IR Receiver in a single gang electrical box in a location where the "eye" has an unobstructed view of the area where the IR Transmitter will be used.

IR Receiver Connections

Symbol	Connection	Description
P	Power	Input from a 24VAC transformer. This can be any one of the transformers in the system.
O	Open	The unit(s) will open when this output connection is driven low (0 VDC).
C	Close	The unit(s) will close when this output connection is driven low (0 VDC).
F	Close & Hold	This connection is used with a Close & Hold Switch.
G	Ground	Signal ground.
R	Rain Sensor	Rain Sensor inputs (2). Moisture on the Rain Sensor will cause the unit(s) to close.

IR Transmitter Operation

For maximum range, up to 50 ft., point the IR Transmitter directly at the IR Receiver's "eye".
To Open: Press the "Open" button once.
To Close: Press the "Close" button once.
To Stop: Press the button which is the opposite of the window/skylight travel.

Note: The "Close & Hold" input on the IR Receiver deactivates the IR Receiver, denying access to anyone with an IR Transmitter. Refer to the "Close & Hold Switch Installation" below.

Close & Hold Switch Installation

This feature can be used when leaving a building to close the window/skylight(s) and prevent any unattended device (such as a thermostat) from opening the unit(s). It can also be used for a security system interface. This feature should not be relied upon for security system purposes.
Use a SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) continuous contact relay or switch for this low voltage control application.
When an IR Receiver is NOT used, connect the controlling contact between the CLOSE (C) and GROUND (G) connectors on the LC-II Control Switch and/or the RS Module. When using an IR Receiver the contacts should be between the CLOSE & HOLD (F) and GROUND (G) connectors on the IR Receiver.
The "Close & Hold" feature overrides all inputs except "Open & Hold".
