  • Page 11: Infrared Technology Overview

    Infrared Technology Overview Infrared or “IR” technology uses infrared light to transmit audio without wires. This type of transmission is advantageous to RF transmission because it is secure, it is not susceptible to RF interference, and one receiver can be used for multiple rooms within a facility. The transmitter accepts an audio signal and then frequency modulates an RF carrier at 2.3, 2.8, 3.3 and/or 3.8MHz.
  • Page 12: System Overview

    System Overview ers. Single Channel System A single channel system consists of one LT-82 transmitter and one or more radiators. The diagram below shows such a system with one radiator. The radiator is powered from the power supply at the transmitter. This power supply can supply enough power for the LT-82 and up to two LA-140 radiators.
  • Page 13 System Overview Multiple Channel System A multiple channel system consists of two to four LT-82 transmitters and one or more radiators. The diagram transmitter. This power supply can supply enough power for the LT-82 and two LA-140 radiators. If you need more than two radiators, you can use the power from the other transmitters.
  • Page 14 System Overview Key Concepts of Designing a Stationary IR System Each LT-82 transmitter used can power two LA-140 radiators Each LT-82 transmitter used can power up to two LA-140 radiators. If you design a system that requires more radiators than the transmitters can power, you need to order additional LA-205 power supplies. Each LA-205 can power up to two LA-140 Radiators.
  • Page 15: Designing A System

    Designing a System Determine the number of audio channels You will need to order one LT-82 transmitter for each audio channel. The Listen system can deliver up to four audio channels simultaneously. Determine the room size and shape Complete the room layout worksheet transmitters, power supplies and radiators using the worksheet key.

  • Page 17 Designing a System It is a good idea to provide over-lapping coverage (like in a sprinkling system) of the signal whenever possible to ensure that the signal does not have drop outs. In addition, you should provide special radiator coverage for shaded areas such as under a balcony or in the front of a room where the front mounted radiators do not provide enough coverage.
  • Page 18 Designing a System If there is an area within a room (such as under a balcony) that is shielded from the main radiation pattern, you will need to provide additional radiator(s) to cover this area.
  • Page 19 Designing a System To double the radiator power, it is possible to vertically or horizontally mount two radiators together using the Height of Radiators It is critical to mount the radiators at the proper height. If the radiator is mounted too low, the coverage required angle of the radiator will cause the radiation pattern to be compromised.
