IR: GC-RG1

Global Caché’s GC-RG1 is an IR receiver used to capture IR frequencies from 30 KHz to 80 KHz. The GC-RG1 plugs directly in the GC-IRE to capture and digitize IR signals. Receipt of an IR signal is indicated by a blue LED located behind the front lens. Additionally, the GC-RG1 will directly plug into and operate within a Xantech or Xantech-compatible environment.

The IR receiver is plasma and fluorescent friendly providing proper GC-RG1 placement. Unwanted signals must not be allowed within the receiver's viewing angle. The IR sensor is set back in the GC-RG1 to shield it from both infrared and electromagnetic noise. Place the GC-RG1 to avoid direct line-of-sight aim at noise sources, such as plasma screens and fluorescent lights. Keep noise sources out of the GC-RG1's field-of-view for proper operation.

The GC-RG1 employs a 3 meter (~10ft) cable with a 3.5mm jack for easy installation and connection to the GC-IRE or Xantech distribution block. The cable may be extended to several 100 meters providing the total cable capacitance does not exceed 15,000pF. A typical CAT5 or audio cable is 60pF per meter permitting 250 meter (~ 800ft) cable run without signal amplification.
