Jobsite ir-smr User Guide

Operation of the IR-SMR is simple. Stand within
the operational range of your IR-SMR. Aim your
hand-held remote at the IR-SMR and press the
button for the desired command. Your IR
command is instantly repeated to your A/V
equipment.

When the IR-SMR is correctly connected as
shown in Installation Diagram, the Green LED
will stay lit as long as the preamp/receiver is on.
When your preamp/receiver is off, the LED will
stay off.

The blue “talkback” LED on the IR-SMR visually
confirms the reception of an IR command.

1. Test the remote control(s) by operating the A/V

equipment directly. Replace the batteries if
needed.

2. Double-check the cable connections on all 

IR-SMRs and on the Connecting Block. Look
for open, shorted or reversed wires.

3. Test for interference from the following sources:

n

Neon or halogen lights in the room.

n

Light dimmers, beginning with those closest to
the IR-SMR.

n

Observe the IR-SMR’s LED while performing all
the tests. It is possible to have interference from
more than one source.

If you have an IR receiver in the same room as a
emitter, and you have some low-level noise or
interference, an optical feedback loop can occur
which will interfere with proper operation.
Symptoms can include: poor range, intermittent
operation or no operation.

Replace the IR-E1HO “flooding Emitter” with IR-E1
or IR-E2 Emitters and cover all emitters with the
supplied IR Blocking Covers. 

The “talkback” LED on the front of the IR-SMR is 
a useful trouble-shooting aid. 

The LED should light blue only when a remote
command is being received. However, if the LED 
on the IR-SMR “flickers”, and the IR-SMR functions
normally, there is no cause for concern.

Test the remote control(s) by operating the A/V
equipment directly. Replace the batteries if needed.
Double-check the wiring connections of the IR-
SMR, at the IR Connecting Block. Consult your IR
Connecting Block’s manual for more detail.

The IR-SMR Receiver cable must reach the
proposed location of the IR Connecting Block. If
not, use Category 5 cable to extend the length.
Mark the cable with a Wire label, describing
where the cable originates from, rather than
where it will terminate. Make sure the mounting
surface is cleaned and degreased before
installation.

1. Determine a mounting location for the IR-SMR.

2. Make sure the mounting surface is clean.

3. Remove the protective coating from the self-

adhesive tape and attach the IR-SMR to the
mounting surface.

4. Run the IR-SMR cable. Label the cable for

future reference.

5. Strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each

CAT5 wire. 

6. Locate the IR Connecting Block Snap and Lock

Connectors and remove them if they are
plugged in.

7. Use a small flathead screwdriver or your

thumb to raise the locking tabs, exposing the
holes on the connectors.

8. Insert each wire into the appropriate hole and

snap down the locking tabs.  Figure 2.

9. Insert the smooth

side of the
connector plug into
the smooth side of
the IR Connecting
Block socket.

See installation diagram.

The talkback LED can be disabled if it continues
to flicker or visual feedback is not desired.
Discrete on and off IR commands are available
on the JobSite Technical support website for
disabling the feedback LED. The address is:
