Radio code groups are necessary in order to allow two or more transmitters to operate in close proximity without interfering with each other. MX8 and MX16 radio code groups are set with the internal 4-position code selection DIP switch. The DIP switch is located on front of the circuit board inside the MX8 and MX16, as shown in FIG.
Setting the radio code group selection DIP switch on MX8 and MX16 relay receivers The code group of the MX8 or MX16 receiver must match the code group of the transmitter. FIG. 4 shows the MX8 and MX16 receiver 4-position radio code group DIP switch, and the ten-position TXC+ transmitter DIP switch.
Wiring IRX-SM+ or IRX-UM+ external IR receiver connectors Connect one or more optional IRX-SM+ swivel-mount IR receivers or IRX-UM+ IR UniMount IR receivers to the MX8 (IRX) or MX16 (IRX), as shown in FIG. 5. You can wire up to eight IR receivers in parallel.
