The IR-FMR 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. Verify there are 3 inches of clearance
behind the surface where you plan to mount the 
IR-FMR.

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

2. Drill a 1/2" hole where the IR-FMR will be

mounted.

3. Secure the IR-FMR by tightening the hex nut.

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

4. Run the IR-FMR 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. See Figure 3.

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 flashback LED. The address is:
www.jobsitesystems.com/techsupport/.

Using the IR-FMR with a
JobSite M-4KP Keypad:
The IR-FMR is fully compatible with the JobSite 
M-4KP Keypad: follow the wiring instructions in
Figure 4.

The bezel surrounding the lens on the IR-FMR is
removable, allowing fast and easy color changes
as needed. Black and white bezels are included
with your IR-FMR. 

1. Hold the IR-FMR so that the front of it is facing

you. Unscrew the bezel by turning it counter-
clockwise as shown in Figure 5.

Note: The IR-FMR’s lens is held in place by the
bezel—be careful not to lose it.

2. Hold the IR-FMR so that the front of it is facing

you, making sure that the lens is in place. Screw
the new bezel onto the IR-FMR by turning it
clockwise.

(Do Not Over Tighten)

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

When the IR-FMR is correctly connected (as
shown in Figure 3, 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-FMR visually
confirms the reception of an IR command.

Removing the Bezel

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-FMRs 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-FMR

n

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

Optical Feedback Loop:
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.

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

Identifying the type of interference:
The “talk-back” LED on the front of the IR-FMR 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-FMR
“flickers”, and the IR-FMR functions normally,
there is no cause for concern.

If the IR-FMR does not work, and the LED
does not light at all: 
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-FMR, at the IR Connecting Block. Consult
your IR Connecting Block’s manual for more
detail.

If the IR-FMR does not work, and the LED
flickers or remains solidly lit: 
Cover up the Receiver with a piece of cardboard
(your hand will actually create electromagnetic
interference under some conditions). Observe
the IR test LED.

IR Test LED Off: 
Optical Interference.

IR Test LED On or Flickering: 
Electromagnetic Interference.

Solution:
1. Move the Receiver or the Receiver cable away

from the EMI source or move the source of the
EMI away from the Receiver or the cable.
