Episode EE-IR-RCVR-SM Ir Sensor Surface Mount

Product Description

The EPISODE EE-IR-RCVR-SM is a surface-mount infrared sensor designed to receive IR control signals in environments where plasma or LED displays would otherwise cause interference. Plasma and LED screens emit infrared light that can blind or desensitize standard IR receivers, causing missed or erratic commands. This sensor includes filtering designed to reject that ambient IR noise while remaining reliably responsive to remote-control signals. It is intended for integration into structured AV control systems in residential and commercial installations where display interference is a known issue.

This receiver is suited for use in media rooms, home theaters, and commercial AV installations where large-format plasma or LED displays are present. It mounts on the surface of a wall, rack panel, or equipment enclosure and connects to an IR distribution or control system. AV integrators and system technicians typically specify this component when a standard IR receiver fails to perform reliably alongside high-output display technology.

Key Features

• Plasma and LED interference rejection for reliable IR signal reception in display-heavy environments
• Surface-mount form factor allows flexible placement on walls, panels, or enclosures
• Designed for integration with IR distribution and whole-home control systems
• Sold as a single unit for targeted deployment or system expansion

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or expansion component for IR control distribution systems in residential and commercial AV installations. Specific system compatibility should be confirmed against the installed IR control infrastructure before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed AV integrator or low-voltage technician. Power down or de-energize the IR control system before making any wiring connections to this receiver. Follow the control system manufacturer wiring guidelines and verify correct polarity on the IR input connection. Local low-voltage installation codes may apply depending on jurisdiction.
