Every installer knows — running wires is a challenge and it adds substantial cost to any project. Crestron® infiNET EX® technology offers a wireless solution for controlling many devices in a home or commercial facility, eliminating the need to cut into walls, fish through insulation, or install expensive conduit just to get a wire to each device.
The INET-IOEX-IRCOM is a very compact and low-cost wireless device that is perfect for use in retrofits, historic buildings, rental homes and offices, or any budget-conscious application. It provides an IR and RS-232 control interface for video displays, AV components, small appliances, and other equipment. Virtually anything that can be controlled with an IR remote or serial interface can be integrated with a Crestron control system using the INET-IOEX-IRCOM. It includes two discrete IR ports and one bidirectional RS-232 port, and communicates with the control system via the infiNET EX wireless network, enabling control and monitoring of the remote equipment without having to run wires through walls and ceilings.[1,2]
Please note: The INET-IOEX-IRCOM is compatible with 3-Series® control systems only.
infiNET EX®
Ultra-reliable infiNET EX wireless technology provides steadfast 2-way RF communications throughout a residential or commercial structure without the need for physical control wiring. Employing a 2,4 GHz mesh network topology, each infiNET EX device functions as an expander, passing command signals through to every other infiNET EX device within range (approximately 150 feet or 46 meters indoors), ensuring that every command reaches its intended destination without disruption.[3]
The INET-IOEX-IRCOM communicates with a Crestron control system via an infiNET EX Wireless Gateway (model CEN-GWEXER, DIN-AP3MEX, or MC3 [4]). Up to 100 infiNET EX devices may coexist on a single wireless network, and every device that is added to the network effectively increases the range and stability of the entire network by providing multiple redundant signal paths.[3]
Montage en surface
The INET-IOEX-IRCOM is designed to be mounted to a flat surface, located near the equipment that it is controlling or monitoring. Care should be taken when positioning the device to avoid interference from nearby RF devices, obstructions, and metal surfaces. It is powered by an outlet-mounted universal 100-240 Volt AC power pack (included).
