Distributing IR Commands Between Units Using the IR DATA IN and IR DATA OUT
The IR DATA IN and IR DATA OUT are used to cascade IR data (TTL level, active high) from one unit into the next.
IR DATA IN
• The IR DATA IN routes an IR command to four locations within the RVL-6— the IR DATA OUT, the COMMON
FLASHER outputs, the DEDICATED FLASHER output, and the Room 1 control module (see Figure 10).
• MODE DIP switches on the rear panel of the RVL-6 enable the blocking of an IR command to two of the
locations—the DEDICATED FLASHER output and the Room 1 control module (for more information see
Setting the MODE DIP Switches on pages 16 and 17).
IR DATA OUT
• The IR DATA OUT is an outlet for IR commands received from any of the RVL-6's SENSOR inputs, built-in
IR sensor, and the IR DATA IN (see Figure 11).
• DIP Switches on the rear panel of the RVL-6 enable the blocking of an IR command from the RVL-6's built-in
IR sensor and IR DATA IN (for more information see Setting the MODE DIP Switches on pages 16 and 17).
Controlling Components Using the IR FLASHER Outputs
The IR flasher outputs on the RVL-6 are used to drive Niles IR flashers which retransmit the IR commands that control
your remote controllable components. The RVL-6 is equipped with two types of flasher outputs, a DEDICATED
FLASHER output and a COMMON FLASHER output. Niles makes two types of IR flashers; the IRC-1 Flooding Flasher
and the IRC-2 MicroFlasher
DEDICATED FLASHER Output
• The DEDICATED FLASHER output is an outlet for IR commands received from any of the RVL-6's SENSOR
inputs, built-in IR sensor, and the IR DATA IN used generally for control of a receiver or pre-amp (see
Figure 12).
