Remote Control
Reduced operation distance with IR remote controls
Reduced operation distance
A reason for reduced operation distance could be fluorescent light which is dimmed. The light itself
emits IR radiation that is influencing the IR operation of the projectors in a negative way.
Solution
We recommend the following two solutions:
1. Use of an extension cable (CAT No. 712 5925, see page 11)
2. A shield for the IR Receiver
As the housing is transmissive for IR radiation we recommend to use a black carton to shield the
top and rearside of the receiver. According to our experience in most cases the problem will be
overcome.
