RF2IR2W RF To IR/RS232 Converter-2Way Quick Start Installation Instructions -1-
ATTENTION: Requires the XTR39 to operate.
Welcome! The RF2IR2W base station is the ultimate Xantech accessory to the Xantech XTR39 Color LCD remote color. It’s a receiver that accepts the Radio Frequency output of the XTR39 remote and translate it into IR and RS232 command signals that can control virtually any IR or RS232 electronic device. It can also receive Data Dictionary RS232 commands and transmit them via RF back to the XTR39 allowing for real-time feedback on the XTR39 display for volume feedback and device status.

Locating the RF2IR2W Thanks to Xantech’s superior antenna design, the RF2IR2W can be placed in several locations. Key Location Points: • The RF2IR2W should be placed on a flat, stable surface. • For optimal performance, the RF2IR2W should be placed at a height greater than 3 feet above the floor. The ideal height should be level to the XTR39 transmitter. • Avoid placing the RF2IR2W near corners of a room. • Avoid placing the RF2IR2W next to microwave ovens.
