Universal Remote MX-490 Ir Rf Hard Button Remote

Product Description

The UNIVERSAL REMOTE MX-490 is a hard-button IR and RF remote control designed for professional AV and automation system integrators. It delivers both infrared and radio frequency command transmission, giving installers the flexibility to control equipment through walls or cabinets where line-of-sight is not available. The hard-button form factor provides tactile feedback that end users can operate without looking at the device, reducing support calls in residential and light commercial installations. This remote is sold individually and is intended for professional programming and deployment.

The MX-490 is suited for residential and commercial AV control applications where a programmable, client-facing remote is required. Installers use it in home theater rooms, conference rooms, and whole-home AV distribution systems. The dual IR and RF transmission modes allow the remote to interface with RF base stations and IR blasters in the same installation, making it adaptable to a wide range of control architectures.

• Dual IR and RF transmission modes for line-of-sight and through-wall control
• Hard-button design provides tactile operation without visual reference
• Professional-grade build intended for integrator programming and deployment

Installation Notes

Programming and deployment should be performed by a qualified AV systems integrator familiar with UNIVERSAL REMOTE control platforms. Prior to pairing or replacing a remote in an active system, confirm the base station or processor is in a serviceable state and that existing programming files are backed up. RF frequency configuration should follow the control system manufacturer documentation to avoid interference with other RF devices on the same installation.
