Functional Description

The CNXLIR is an IR Learner developed by Crestron. It is used by Crestron's DEAL for Windows™ software to “learn” the IR codes that control a piece of equipment.

These codes are pulses of infrared (IR) light from a hand-held remote control. The

CNXLIR digitizes the IR codes so they can be processed by the DEAL for Windows software.

Once the DEAL for Windows software learns the codes, the software can convert them into a custom IR device driver file. This device driver file can be incorporated into a Crestron control system. The Crestron control system can then control equipment by emitting the same IR codes as a remote control or other IR device. The software can also use the CNXLIR to transmit the learned IR codes for testing purposes.

The CNXLIR replaces the CNLIR model. The CNXLIR and the DEAL for Windows software offer the following improvements:

• Can learn more advanced / higher data-rate IR devices

• Can learn multi-function remote codes automatically

• Can learn higher IR frequencies

Crestron's DEAL (Driver Editor And Learner) for Windows software operates the

CNXLIR. DEAL's friendly Windows  environment guides users quickly through the learning and testing functions. DEAL for Windows, version 3.0 is recommended for users who want to take full advantage of the CNXLIR's capabilities. Previous versions of DEAL for Windows will interface with the CNXLIR, but with limited capabilities.

Additionally, the Crestron has a database that contains over 1600 device driver files, and is designed to interact with the DEAL for Windows software.

Physical Description

The CNXLIR is housed in a black enclosure with labeling on the front and rear panels. The front of the unit has six LEDs indicating the unit’s current status. An IR receiving window is located on the front of the unit. Make sure the receiving window is positioned to avoid interference from direct sunlight and high frequency fluorescent light.

The DC power connector provides external power via the Crestron 500 mA power pack, Crestron P/N PW-1205 or equivalent (1000 mA power pack for international configurations, Crestron P/N PWI-1210 or equivalent).

COMPUTER / RS-232

The nine-pin female serial port connector communicates with a PC when

"learning" codes via a standard DB9 F-M “straight through” serial cable.

SIGNAL

The SIGNAL port is reserved for future use and is not supported at this time.

IR OUT

The 3.5mm connector attaches to the Crestron STIRP (Infrared IR Probe) and is used to test learned drivers. The probe end of the STIRP is placed over a device's IR window while the other end is plugged into the IR OUT port on the

CNXLIR.

CNXLIR Indicators

The front panel has six LED indicators. Refer to the illustration and descriptions below.

Indicates activity on the IR OUT port of the unit. This is a visual confirmation that an IR signal is being sent from the CNXLIR.

RDY (Ready)

Indicates that the CNXLIR is waiting for an IR signal. When the CNXLIR receives an IR signal, the RDY LED goes out.

SGNL (Signal)

Indicates that the CNXLIR is receiving the IR signal.

CMPLT (Complete)

Indicates that the processing or "learning" is complete.

OVRDRV (Overdrive)

Indicates that an IR signal is too strong. When the signal is too strong, the

CNXLIR does not accept the signal and the "learning" process for that particular function must be restarted.
