Extron IR Emitter and Shield Kit (part number 70-283-01) — the single-emitter accessory for any Extron product that puts out an IR control signal.

Gear that lives inside a rack or a closed cabinet still has to take remote commands, and its front-panel IR window is usually facing a piece of plywood. This kit closes that gap. A blinking IR emitting diode on a 10 foot lead sticks straight onto the IR window of the controlled device, the supplied shield keeps stray room IR and sunlight from confusing it, and the adhesive holds the assembly in place for the life of the install. Extron's installation guide caps each controller or switcher IR port at two emitters.

Key Capabilities

• IR emitting diode terminated on a 10 ft (3 m) wire lead.

Where It Is Used
