External IR Input Connection
This connection allows the HC6 and HC12 to receive IR input from a Quad plug IR receiver
(as shown in Figure 3-9), from an IR sensor connected to a PPIR Precision Panel (see
pages 40 and 45), or from the PPVN Precision Panel (see page 49). This provides control
of the On Screen Display (OSD) from one IR receiver.
Figure 3-9: External IR Input
Note: When using the External IR Input with an IR receiver directly connected or with an
IR receiver connected to a PPIR Precision panel, the 12VDC power output must be ON in
the configuration software. The factory DEFAULT setting is ON.
Figure 3-10 on the following page shows incorporating additional IR receivers using Global
Caché GC-IREs connected to PPIS precision panels. The GC-IREs receive IR signals from
zone located TS2s connected to the PPVN precision panel and convert those signals into
RS-232 data. The HC6 and HC12 use this RS-232 data to trigger Event Maps. Event Maps
execute commands in response to events detected by the System Controller.
