ONSIDERATIONS
The IRC-1 is typically used as a "flooding"
flasher to control a stack of audio/video
components. For this type of application,
place the IRC-1 with its L.E.D.'s pointed
straight up and at least an inch in front of
the equipment you wish to control (See
Figure 1). The effective range varies
between 8" and 30" depending on the
brand and/or the model of the audio/video
component. Note: If cabinet dimensions per-
mit, experimenting with the placement of the
IRC-1 may yield better operating results.
For tall stacks of components use multiple
IRC-1 flashers. For example, place one IRC-1
at the top of a stack with the L.E.D.'s point-
ing down and one IRC-1 at the base of the
stack with the L.E.D.'s pointing up (See
Figure 2).
In some installations there are shelves
blocking a direct path between the IRC-1
and the components' IR sensor window. It
is possible to bounce infrared light off of
smooth reflective surfaces (particularly
white surfaces). If a suitable surface exists
(like the back of a cabinet door, or a white
wall within a few feet) try to place the IRC-1
