Directivity of IR Sensor
The effective receive distance of all IR receivers changes when the IR remote control is not directly in front of the IR sensor.
The graph below describes the performance of the IR sensor device used in this Channel Vision IR receiver. Please note that the graph below marks the distance as a percentage of the maximum distance. So at 0º, the distance is 1.0 (or 100%) and at 30º, the distance is 0.7 (or 70%) and so on.
Actual transmission distances are dependent upon frequency of remote control (40kHz has max range) and luminosity of remote control (i.e. Some remotes are brighter than others.)

The IR-2400 can be directly connected to the P-1205 in two different ways:
1) Through the 3.5mm jack
2) Through the screw terminal connector
For larger systems, a parallel connecting block such as the C-1201(not shown) can be used to connect several IR receivers to the IR input of the P-1205.
Mounting the IR receiver: Option 2 - Using the hole mount
Drill a 3/4” hole .
Push the IR receiver head through the hole.
Insert the IR receiver head into the IR receiver hole mount.
Remove the backing from the tape and attach the
IR receiver holster in the desired location.
Snap IR receiver head into the holster as shown.
Mounting the IR receiver: Option 3 - Using the tabletop mount
Push the IR receiver head through the hole in the tabletop mount.
Insert the IR receiver head into the IR receiver hole mount.
To secure the mount, remove the backing from the foam tape
Push the IR receiver hole mount and IR receiver head back into the hole in the tabletop mount.
on the bottom of the unit and attach the mount to any flat surface.
Push the IR receiver hole mount and IR receiver head back into the hole.
