CIR-EMT, shown below, is recommended for most applications Figure 13 – IR Emitter Cable CIR-EMT (Emitter has adhesive backing) Pin out: Tip=Anode, Ring=Cathode, Sleeve=Not Connected An alternative Emitter cable is CIR-EMT2.

Therefore, the UHBX-8X does not distinguish between ASCII or Hex data, all data are treated as bytes. The user has 1-5 seconds to enter any data or characters, or a timeout will occur.
- Page 14 Stands for IR Send Detailed Timing (HR Protocol) If the protocol of the particular IR Remote you intend to emulate is unknown it is possible to instruct the UHBX-8X to send IR commands based on detailed timing information as specified by HR protocol. The UHBX-8X currently cannot learn the detailed timing, so a model HR-4P with a detector cable (demodulated type 2) will be required for learning these codes.
- Page 15 Stands for Query Firmware Version This command will report the firmware version in the unit. If the firmware is out of date, you can update the firmware using the USB port on the UHBX-8X. Please see the Windows GUI Guide for further instructions.
