BlastIR Wireless Pro IR Repeater

Control all of your home theater video sources (Blu-Ray player, Cable box, TiVo, and anything else that uses a standard IR remote control) from behind walls or closets by extending the IR signal with this kit.

How this works

This kit comes with an IR Receiver, and an IR Emitter. Simply point your remote control at the Receiver, and it will send the signal wirelessly to the Emitter which will then transmit that signal to the devices you wish to control.

Multi-zone Control

This kit can be combined with other BlastIR Wireless Kits to create custom setups.

It supports up to 10 "zones" with independent sending/receiving frequencies. (kind of like different channels on a walkie-talkie). You can change the zone by using a very small rotating switch located at the bottom of the receiver and emitter pucks. The Receivers will only communicate with the Emitters that are set to the same zone.

There are multiple ways to use the BlastIR Wireless PRO. Some setup examples are: One to one, All to All, One to Many, or Many to One. You can also purchase extra Emitters, or Receivers individually if you don't need an extra full pair.

Extend Reach with IR Emitter and Receiver Cable (Optional)

You can use the included Receiver and Emitter cables so further minimize what's seen on your setup. The emitter cable is a "Dual-headed" Emitter so it allows you to control an additional two devices. Magnetic Feet and Adhesive pads are also included to mount the BlastIR Wireless out of sight when using the IR Receiver and Emitter Cables.

Troubleshooting

If you already have a BlastIR Wireless PRO and need help setting it up, watch this video or check out the troubleshooting tips below. Also, feel free to call us at (800) 709-1345 and we'll help you set it up over the phone.

Make sure the unit is plugged in completely and receiving power. Once the power cord is plugged in, the light should briefly turn blue when the device turns on, then turn blank, turning back on only when it receives a remote signal.

The intended range between units is around 600 feet and should work around walls and through closed doorways, though the more obstacles there are, the more limited this range becomes.

The receiver (blue-ringed device) should be next to the TV (or where you want to send the signal from). The emitter (orange-ringed device) should be next to the cable box or the device you want to control.

You will want to make sure that the ring of color on the cord and device match in color.

If the device is not turning blue when you point the remote at it and press a button, it is not receiving a signal.

Here are a few things to check:

• Are you pointing the remote at the receiver?

Make sure that the device you are trying to send a signal to is the receiver (blue-ringed device).

• Does the remote have fresh batteries?

Replacing the Batteries can increase the remote signal strength to help the repeater to have a stronger signal to send.

• Is only one device turning blue?

Make sure both of the units are on the same channel. The dial on the bottom side of the device should point towards a number. Changing the number changes the channel they are operating on. This number should be the same on both devices.

• Are both devices turning blue, but nothing is happening?

Try using the Emitter cable included with the package. It is teardrop-shaped and has two heads; you may have to try a couple of times, but finding the IR eye of your device and placing one of the heads in front of it can greatly boost reliability.

• The following devices are known to be incompatible.
• Yamaha HTR 6140
• Arris DCX 3520E-M
• OSD ATM-7 Speaker Selector device

The device is to have a blue signal only when it receives a signal from your remote. If it is constantly blue, that means it is receiving interference from a nearby device. The most common culprit for this has proven to be a Mesh network. If it is turning blue constantly, distancing it from nearby devices, and changing the channel the BlastIR units are operating can be helpful.
