Optional Accessories for the PC-IR Linc
A level of intelligence can also be added to the PC-IR Linc by using it with one of the
Smarthome Probes. Probes may be used for many purposes including detecting the
power status of an AV device.
TV Detector 8012
Light Detector 8013
Senses the presence of the high frequency RF
emissions of a TV when it is on. Place the
white "Whip" near the rear of the set.
This sensor can be placed over the location of
an LED or any other light source to sense if
the AV device is on.
Digital Input Low Voltage
Detector 8015
Video Detector 8016
This probe can be attached to any device that
generates a 3-28 volt (AC or DC) signal. Some
AV equipment have low-voltage outputs that
may be used to detect the device's power sta-
tus.
Detects the presence of a baseband video sig-
nal when connected to the VIDEO OUT jack.
Can't be used with video gear that outputs a
blank or blue screen when switched off (or in
stand-by).
Contact Closure 8018
Extra Emitters
This probe is ideal for detecting the condition
of a dry-contact switch. Some AV receivers
have dry-contact relays open or close when
powered on or off.
Using Mini Stick-On IR Emitters or Blast
Emitters can increase the PC-IR Linc’s flexibili-
ty. The #8174 Blast Emitter will have a range
of four to seven feet when used with the PC-IR
Linc.
