THE POWER BLASTER
The Optional PowerBlaster TM
(for ‘barrier-free’ RF control)
[Sold separately]
Of all the fabulous RF30 features, this is probably the most
exciting. When used in combination with the optional
PowerBlaster
TM , the RF30 becomes an amazing remote
control powerhouse that sends multi-directional RF (Radio
Frequency) signals that pass through walls, doors and
floors - both indoors and outdoors.
This changes everything! It enables you to control
Components that are completely out-of-sight, up to 100’
away. The PowerBlaster
TM picks up RF30’s radio frequency
signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so RF30
doesn’t need to be pointed directly at any Component.
Just imagine - no more pointing! Now you can close your
entertainment center doors, hide your Components, and
still control them with ease. Control outdoor speakers on
your patio. Control your Components anywhere!
One of the best things about this is - nothing has to be
done to the RF30 for this feature to work. Every time you
press a button on the RF30, it sends both a standard IR
(Infrared Command) AND an RF (Radio Frequency) signal.
If you install the PowerBlaster
TM kit, it will automatically
receive RF30’s radio signals and translate them into the
infrared commands that control your Components.
The RF30 sends radio signal to the PowerBlaster TM , which
is a radio receiver.
The PowerBlaster TM converts radio signals to standard
infrared commands and sends them out via a built-in front
blaster to Components in the same cabinet space.
Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the PowerBlaster TM kit)
affix to the front panels of your Components. The flashers
relay infrared commands to Components out-of-sight of the
PowerBlaster’s front blaster. The flashers plug into
PowerBlaster’s rear flasher line output jacks. Each flasher
has a 10’ cable to easily reach Components on nearby
shelves.
NOTE: The RF30's radio signals will not control Components
directly. You must have a PowerBlaster
TM to receive the
RF30's radio signals. Components that came with “no
pointing” radio remote controls cannot be operated by the
RF30 unless the Component can be switched to standard IR
(Infrared Control) via its internal menus. Some remote
control ceiling fans are radio only and cannot be operated
by the RF30.
