SpeakerCraft SmartPath IRC-2P2.0 Instructions

INSTR,INSTL,IRC-2P • LINEAR P/N: 224593X1 • INK: BLACK • MATERIAL: 70 LB. GLOSS WHITE COATED PAPER • SIZE: 11.000" X 8.500" FOLD TO 5.500" X 8.500" • FOLDING: 1 FOLD VERTICAL, FINISH WITH LOGO SHOWING • SCALE: 1-1
1. Pull 4-conductor wire from each room (home runs) to the AT-1.0 Terminator near the
controlled components.
Note: Use 24 gauge unshielded solid or stranded copper wire up to 600' (Cat. 5e ok), 22
gauge up to 1200', 20 gauge up to 2400' and 18 gauge up to 5300'. Total lengths
include all wire runs from each room added together, not just the longest single run. If
using shielded wire, these lengths would be reduced by approx. 30%. Also, to achieve
operation with long lengths, the lower DIP switch on the AT-1.0 must be set to the NET
ON position.
2. Connect IR receivers in each room to the 4-conductor home runs as shown, using the 4-
conductor terminal strip supplied.
3. Connect the home run wires to the correct terminals on the AT-1.0 EZ-Connect terminals.
Note: You may use the SpeakerCraft CB Connecting Block (not illustrated, stock #
ASM20200) to help connect the many paralleled home run wires to the AT-1.0 EZ-
Connect terminals.
4. Install and plug the various emitters into the AT-1.0.
5. Set the DIP switches to EM ON (or BL ON if using Blasters behind closet doors) and NET
ON.
6. Plug the local IRC-2P2.0 IR Receiver into the IR RCVR jack.
7. Plug in the PS-1.0 Power Supply.
8. A remote control, fired at the various IR receivers, should now control the components.
Note: Refer to the SpeakerCraft AT-1.0 Instructions for Power Supply considerations.
STATUS Brightness
Fig. 3 also shows how an external resistor can be added to reduce the brightness of the
Status LED' s on SpeakerCraft IR Receivers to any desired level.
1. In this example, a PS-1.0 12 V Power Supply is used as the voltage source to indicate
ON/OFF status of an AV Receiver.
2. Choose a resistor value that achieves the brightness you desire (about 2.2k to 12k, 1/8 W).
Connect it in series with the STATUS lead on each IR receiver desired, as shown.
LIMITED 5-YEAR WARRANTY
SpeakerCraft Inc. warrants to the original retail purchaser only that this SpeakerCraft product will be free from defects
in materials and workmanship, for a period of 5-years, provided it was purchased from a SpeakerCraft Authorized Dealer.
Defective products must be shipped, together with proof of purchase, prepaid insured to the SpeakerCraft Authorized
Dealer from whom they were purchased, or to the SpeakerCraft factory at the address listed on this installation instruc-
tion manual. Freight collect shipments will be refused. It is preferable to ship this product in the original shipping
container to lessen the chance of transit damage. In any case, the risk or loss or damage in transit is to be borne by
the purchaser. If upon examination at the Factory or SpeakerCraft Authorized Dealer it is determined that the unit
was defective in materials or workmanship at any time during this warranty period, SpeakerCraft or the SpeakerCraft
Authorized Dealer will, at its option, repair or replace this product at no additional charge, except as set forth below.
If this model is no longer available and can not be repaired effectively, SpeakerCraft, at its sole option may replace
the unit with a current model of equal or greater value. In some cases where a new model is substituted, a modifica-
tion to the mounting surface may be required. If mounting surface modification is required, SpeakerCraft assumes no
responsibility or liability for such modification. All replaced parts and product become the property of SpeakerCraft Inc.
Products replaced or repaired under this warranty will be returned to the original retail purchaser, within a reasonable
time, freight prepaid.
This warranty does not include service or parts to repair damage caused by accident, disaster, misuse, abuse, negli-
gence, inadequate packing or shipping procedures, commercial use, voltage inputs in excess of the rated maximum of
the unit, or service, repair or modification of the product which has not been authorized or approved by SpeakerCraft.
This warranty also excludes normal cosmetic deterioration caused by environmental conditions. This warranty will be
void if the Serial number on the product has been removed, tampered with or defaced.
This warranty is in lieu of all other expressed warranties. If the product is defective in materials or workmanship as
warranted above, the purchaser's sole remedy shall be repair or replacement as provided above. In no event will
SpeakerCraft be liable for any incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the product,
even if SpeakerCraft Inc. or a SpeakerCraft Inc. Authorized Dealer has been advised of the possibility of such damages,
or for any claim by any other party. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so
the above limitation and exclusion may not apply. All implied warranties on the product are limited to the duration of
this expressed warranty. Some states do not allow limitation on the length of an implied Warranty. If the original retail
purchaser resides in such a state, this limitation does not apply.

IRC-2P2.0 & IRC-2P2.1
2-Piece Surface Mount Infrared Receivers
The IRC-2P2.0 and IRC-2P2.1 are designed to block Plasma, CFL, EMI, and ESI noise
sources, using an exclusive "smart" circuit (patent pending). In addition, the Pick-Up
Module of this 2-piece design allows mounting on flat surfaces in very tiny spaces
of furniture recesses, monitor panels, under shelves, etc., using the double-sided
tape supplied. The Main Module can either be mounted on an exterior surface, so
that the green Status and blue Activity LEDs are visible, or mounted out of sight on
an interior surface. There are no IR pick-up devices in the Main Module.
Note: The action of the "smart" circuit is such that an initial flicker of the blue
Activity LED will occur when CFL type lighting is first turned on. Also, occasional
flickering may occur in the presence of plasma interference during scene changes,
etc. This is normal operation and does not prevent IR commands from controlling
system components.
Placement Notes: These IR receivers are very effective at blocking Plasma and other
types of noise from being passed through to controlled components. However,
the effective range of IR control will decrease as the intensity of such interference
increases. For best range performance therefore, the Pick-Up Module should be
oriented or placed in such a way as to minimize the intensity of such interference.
This may mean placing the Pick-Up Module on a surface set back from the front
surface of a plasma monitor panel, or keeping CFL or overhead electronically
ballasted fluorescents 3 feet or more distant.
