Chapter 4. Digital Infrared Radiator 4.1 Overview This unit accepts carrier signals generated by the transmitter and emits infrared radiation, carrying up to 40 audio distribution channels. Radiators are connected to the HF (BNC) connectors of the IR transmitter. A maximum of 30 radiators, daisy chained connected, can be connected to each of these outputs.
4.3 Position planning For position planning, please read section Guaranteed rectangular footprints also understand and consider every aspect of infrared calculated with the footprint calculation tool (available distribution. on the documentation CD-ROM). The given values are for one radiator only, they do not take into consideration the beneficial effects of overlapping 4.3.1 Rectangular footprints footprints and reflections (see section 1.3.6).
4.3.3 Cabling Signal delay differences can occur because of the differences in the cable length from the transmitter to each radiator. In order to avoid the risk of black spots (see section 1.3.6), use equal cable length from transmitter to radiator if possible (see figure 4.7). Figure 4.7 Radiators with equal cable length If radiators are loop-through, the cabling between each radiator and the transmitter should be as symmetrical...
4.4 Mounting The radiator can be permanently installed onto the wall, 4.4.2 Wall mounting under a ceiling or a balcony by bracket. The mounting angle can be adjusted for optimal coverage through A separate bracket (HCS-5100TBZJ) is optional for angle adjust handle. wall mounting (refer to figure 4.10).
4.4.3 Ceiling mounting The radiator can be fixed to the ceiling by using the Infrared radiator installing on a soft wall (such as built-in bracket. Please make sure to have enough plaster): space for a proper air flow around the radiator when 1.
4.5 Connecting to transmitter 4.6 Output power selection There are six functionally identical HF signal output The radiator can be switched to half power output. This interfaces on the transmitter. Each one can connect up is usually done when full power output is not needed, to 30 radiators by daisy chain.
4.7 Setting the radiator delay switches As described in section 1.3.6, signals picked up by the Take signal delay rate as 5.0 ns/m (value as an receiver from two or more radiators can cause black example for calculation only, real value depends on spots due to delay differences.

Other brands on the market have a higher electric input to light output delay - for example 760 ns which means a 400 ns higher delay compared to TAIDEN HCS-5100 (equivalent to the delay caused by about 80 m of cable, i.e.16 steps of delay switch position).
Chapter 5. Digital Infrared Receiver 5.1 Overview HCS-5100R/RA is a series of Digital Infrared Receivers, which can receive up to 40 language channels.
