  • Page 7 The IR Sensors and Speakers get connected to the Side Panel 19. SPEAKER TERMINALS – Two pair, five-way binding posts, connect to classroom speakers. (OWI Models P5278, IC5 or IC6 suggested.)NOTE: Both speakers output the same audio signal, (mono). The CRS-301 is not a stereo audio system.

CABLE – 50’ cable allows the IR Sensors to be positioned away from the CRS-301-CASE for optimum coverage for reception of IR pulses from the CRS IR Microphones.
  • Page 9 30. IR OUTPUT ARRAY – High output IR LED’s output audio as infrared pulses in an omni- directional pattern that are received by the CRS-IRS IR Sensors. The IR Sensors output electrical DC pulses to the CRS-301-CASE which converts them back to audio signals, amplifies them and outputs the audio to the Speakers.

CRS-HSMIC Headset Mic (Optional) CRS-HSMIC HEADSET MIC FEATURES (Optional) The CRS-HSMIC Lapel Microphone is used with the Pendant Mic and is another option for hands-free presentations. NOTE: The CRS-HSMIC is an optional accessory and must be purchased separate from the CRS-301. 38.

    Figure 12. Typical Classroom Application INSTALLATION CRS-301-CASE The CRS-301-CASE can be wall or shelf mounted. It should be located in a central location that allows the IR Sensors to be equally spread in the classroom for optimum visibility to the microphones. Consideration should also be given to locating the CRS-301-CASE in close proximity to any audio source that will be connected to the Line In, such as a CD/DVD Player, Projector, Computer, VCR, Cable, Satellite, etc.
  • Page 14 Horizontal Mounting Vertical Mounting Figure 13. IR Sensor Wall Mount Adaptor CRS-IRS IR SENSORS The CRS Microphones output IR Pulses that are invisible light pulses. Ideally, the IR Sensors should be ‘line-of-sight’ to the microphones. The microphones output very strong IR pulses that will reflect off wall, ceiling and hard floor surfaces and are then ‘seen’...
  • Page 15 Figure 14. Typical CRS System Connections CONNECTIONS The CRS-301 System requires only a few simple connections and sets up in minutes. The only required connections are the IR Sensors, Speakers and Power Cord. Connecting an optional audio source such as a CD/DVD Player, VCR, Computer, Projector, Cable, Satellite, etc is also simple using standard RCA- RCA audio patch cables.
  • Page 16 Line In 1. Connect the left and right line level audio outputs of an audio source to the L and R Inputs on the CRS-301-CASE using a stereo RCA-RCA patch cable with gold ends. NOTE: Though the CRS has Left and Right Inputs, the Speaker Outputs are mono, so BOTH channels will be output from BOTH speakers.

    OPERATION 1. IF TURNING THE SYSTEM ON FOR THE FIRST TIME, turn the VOL Knobs all the way down (full counterclockwise). 2. With all system connections confirmed, press the Power Switch to turn the system ON. 3. If using the Lapel or Headset Mic, connect to the Pendant as shown in Figure 16. Be sure the Pendant is pointing toward the IR Sensors so the IR Pulses from the Pendant will be ‘seen’...
