Crestron CNXLIR Infrared Learner

Infrared Learner: CNXLIR

Introduction

Features & Functions

The CNXLIR is an IR Learner used to "learn" the IR codes that control a piece of

equipment.

Functional Summary

• Able to learn codes from advanced / higher data-rate IR devices

using built-in IR receiver

• Automatically learns multi-function remote codes

• Capable of learning codes from devices using higher IR frequencies

• Digitizes IR codes for processing by DEAL for Windows®software

• Test learned codes using built-in IR output with included STIRP

Infrared Probe

The CNXLIR learns the IR/serial codes that control a piece of equipment and stores

them to a PC-based database for use in programming a control system with SIMPL

Windows programming software. The CNXLIR is used in conjunction with the

Crestron DEAL (Driver Editor And Learner) for Windows software to learn these

codes and allow the programmer to create a custom IR device driver file for use in a

control system program.

The codes learned by the CNXLIR are pulses of infrared (IR) light issued from a

hand-held remote control. The CNXLIR digitizes the IR codes so they can be

processed by the DEAL for Windows software.

Once the codes are learned, the software can convert them into a custom IR device

driver file. This device driver file can then be incorporated into a Crestron®control

system program. The Crestron control system will control equipment by emitting the

same IR codes as a remote control or other IR device. DEAL for Windows can also

use the CNXLIR to transmit the learned IR codes for testing purposes.

Crestron's DEAL for Windows software operates the CNXLIR. DEAL's friendly

Windows®environment guides users quickly through the learning and testing

functions. DEAL for Windows, version 3.0 is recommended for users who want to

take full advantage of the CNXLIR's capabilities. Previous versions of DEAL for

Windows will interface with the CNXLIR, but with limited capabilities.

Additionally, DEAL for Windows interacts with the Crestron Database that contains

over 1600 device driver files.

Physical Description

The CNXLIR is housed in a black enclosure with labeling on the front and rear

panels. The front of the unit has six LEDs indicating the unit’s current status. An IR

receiving window is located on the front of the unit. Make sure the receiving window

is positioned to avoid interference from direct sunlight and high frequency

fluorescent light.

All connections are made from the back of the unit. The four rubber feet on the base

of the unit are for stability and to prevent slippage. Refer to the physical views in the

following diagrams for the LED and connection port locations.

Ports

All connections to the CNXLIR are made through the ports on the rear panel. Refer

to the illustrations and descriptions that follow.

COMPUTER / RS-232

The nine-pin female serial port connector communicates with a PC when "learning"

codes via a standard DB9 F-M “straight through” serial cable.

12 VDC 0.5 A

The DC power connector provides external power via the Crestron 0.5 A power

pack, Crestron P/N PW-1205 or equivalent (1.0 A power pack for international

configurations, Crestron P/N PWI-1210 or equivalent).

Operations Guide - DOC. 8131B Infrared Learner: CNXLIR •3

IR OUT

The 3.5 mm connector attaches to the Crestron STIRP Infrared IR Probe (included)

and is used to test learned drivers. The probe end of the STIRP is placed over a

device's IR window while the other end is plugged into the IR OUT port on the

CNXLIR.

Indicators

The CNXLIRs indicators, which appear on the front panel are described in the

following paragraphs.

PWR (Power)

This LED illuminates when power is supplied to the unit.

IR OUT

Indicates activity on the IR OUT port of the unit. This is a visual confirmation that

an IR signal is being sent from the CNXLIR.

RDY (Ready)

Indicates that the CNXLIR is waiting for an IR signal. When the CNXLIR receives

an IR signal, the RDY LED goes out.

SGNL (Signal)

Indicates that the CNXLIR is receiving an IR signal.

CMPLT (Complete)

Indicates that the processing or "learning" is complete.

OVRDRV (Overdrive)

Indicates that an IR signal is too strong. When the signal is too strong, the CNXLIR

does not accept the signal and the "learning" process for that particular function must

be restarted.

Industry Compliance

As of the date of manufacture, the CNXLIR has been tested and found to comply

with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and

Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling.

NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to

the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
