Episode EE-IR-RCVR-TUBE Tube Ir Sensor

Product Description

The EPISODE EE-IR-RCVR-TUBE is a tube-style infrared receiver sensor designed to pick up IR command signals and relay them to connected audio-visual or home automation control systems. The unit is sold individually and fits into the IR control category, making it a purpose-built component for installers who need a discreet, reliable IR pickup point in a finished space. Low-voltage AV integrators and systems technicians are the primary installers of this device. The receiver tube captures infrared signals from standard remote controls and passes those commands through to a distribution or control system, eliminating line-of-sight limitations when components are stored in enclosed equipment racks or cabinets.

This IR receiver tube is suited for residential and light-commercial AV installations where hidden or in-wall IR control is required. Typical applications include home theater rooms, multi-room audio-video systems, and equipment closets where the controlled devices are not directly visible to the end user. The component integrates into IR distribution systems, allowing a remote control signal captured at one location to be sent to equipment housed elsewhere in the installation.

Key Features

• Tube-style form factor for discreet, low-profile IR signal capture
• Designed for use within IR control distribution systems
• Sold as a single unit, allowing precise quantity ordering per install
• Compatible with standard infrared remote control signal frequencies used in AV environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or system component for IR control distribution installations requiring a tube-style infrared receiver sensor.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage AV technician or systems integrator. Power down or de-energize the IR distribution system before connecting or disconnecting the receiver tube. Follow the control system manufacturer wiring guidelines and any applicable local low-voltage codes during installation. Avoid routing IR receiver leads alongside high-voltage AC wiring to prevent signal interference.
