1. IRTrans USB
The IRTrans USB is an infrared (IR) Transceiver with USB PC interface. It can be
supplied with power by the USB connection as well as by an external power
supply.
It offers the following basic functions:
Transmit IR
Receive IR
1 output to connect external IR transmitters
USB interface
IRTrans 2/3 wire bus
RS232 interface
1 status input
1.1 Connections
On the back side there are :
USB connector (USB B connector)
Connector for external power supply
MiniDin 8 connector for accesories
On the front side there are 4 IR LEDs next to the IR receiver (ref. picture on page
2).

1.2 Power supply
The IRTrans USB can be supplied by the USB connection. If the PC allows for
this the IRTrans USB may be supplied with power during standby as well. This
function is normally deactivated because the USB standard only allows for 0,5mA
during standby. Some mainboards/PCs however have cam be configured to
power USB devices during standy. To do that please refer to your PC documen-
tation. To supply the IRTrans with standby USB power the jumper shown in the
picture must be moved to the right.
For an external power supply there is a 5.5/2.1mm hollow connector. The exter-
nal power supply should be capable of delivering 8-16V with approximately
100mA per IRTrans Module. The positive lead must be wired to the center termi-
nal.
1.3 USB connection / installing drivers
Before connecting the IRTrans to the PC the software has to be in-
stalled.
The IRTrans USB will be connected to the PC by an USB A to B type cable. After
connecting the IRTrans driver installation will start automatically.
Windows 2000 / XP / Server 2003 / Vista / 7
IRTrans USB drivers are digitally signed and included in the IRTrans software
installer (setup.exe). Futhermore the drivers are available from the Microsoft dri-
ver database as well.

Linux
Linux Kernels 2.6.5/2.4.26 include USB drivers in the standard kernel. The follo-
wing driver packages have to be activated:
Usbserio
FTDI_serio
USB subsystem
These drivers should be configured as modules. If the USB device daemon is
running the system recognizes the IRTrans upon connection and will install the
correct drivers automatically. There will be entries to the syslog to monitor instal-
lation progress. The IRTrans USB will be assigned a device (e.g. /dev/tty/USB0).
The device ID will vary according to your system configuration.
Mac
Drivers for Mac OSX 10.4 or later are available on the IRTrans software CD or
are downloadable from the website http://www.irtrans.de/en/.

2. IRTrans Translator
The IRTrans Translator is based on an IRTrans USB. An integrated command
database allows to receive, translate and send IR commands independently.
Compared to the IRTrans USB the IRTrans Translator offers the following additio-
nal features:
128K IR database (sufficient for approx. 1000-1500 commands)
2 IR receivers
2.1 Connections
On the front there are left to right:
4 IR LEDs
Status LED
2 IR receivers
On the back you will find:
3,5mm jack for external receivers
MiniDin 8 connector for accessories
USB connector
Connector for external power supply
IRTrans Translator front
IRTrans Translator back
