How Does It Work; Installation - Marmitek Powermid XL User Manual

3. HOW DOES IT WORK?

HD RECORDER
SET-TOP BOX
SATELLITE
AUDIO SET
Point your remote control at the Powermid XL™ IR Receiver. The IR Receiver receives these
infrared signals, converts them into RF signals and sends them onto the Powermid XL™ IR
Transmitter. The IR Transmitter then converts these back into infrared signals and sends them
to your HDD-recorder, set-top box, satellite decoder, audio set, etc.

4. INSTALLATION

4.1 IR Receiver
1. Place the IR Receiver in the room/area from which you wish to operate your equipment.
2. P oint the front of the IR Receiver (with Marmitek logo) towards the point at which you want
to use the remote control (maximum 6 metres).
3. Connect the Power Adapter to the IR Receiver and insert this into the mains socket.
4.2 IR Transmitter
4. P lace the IR Transmitter in the room/area in which the A/V equipment you wish to operate
is located.
5. P oint the front of the IR Transmitter (with Marmitek logo) towards the equipment you wish
to operate.
6. Connect the Power Adapter to the IR Transmitter and insert this into the socket.
4.3 Range between Transmitter and Receiver depends on:
• T he number of floors and walls through which the signal has to travel and the materials used.
• O ther 433 MHz sources such as wireless headphones or wireless speakers can significantly
limit the range of the Powermid XL™. The best result is obtained if these sources are
switched off when using the Powermid XL™. The Powermid XL™ works fine with wireless
telephones.
• S ome satellite receivers must be placed closer to the Powermid XL™ as a result of the effect
the two devices have on one another. Try the Transmitter at a range of locations in order
to obtain the best range.
