5. Observe the Status LED of the NX-RF200. If it is glowing or flickering
you must relocate the NX-RF200 to a location where the LED doesn’t flick-
er.
If your installation location simply doesn’t offer you any choice and you are
detecting interference everywhere you place the NX-RF200, you have two
last resort options:
a. Remove the NX-RF200’s antenna. This will reduce the range enor-
mously, but may still be enough for this client.
b. Admit defeat and install the two piece NX-RF200 base station,
which can have the RF Antenna module remotely located (even in another
part of the house).
7. Once you have found a location that is absolutely free of RFI with
everything on, test to see if the range is adequate and that
macro reliability is perfect. Start with the antenna angle set to
45 degrees and positioned so that the long side of the
antenna is facing the customer’s favorite seating position.
When testing, set both the remote and the NX-RF200 to the same valid RF
ID#. Keep in mind that zero (0) is not a valid RF ID#. Watch the Status LED
on NX-RF200 - it should light every time you press a button on the remote.
This confirms that the signal was received and understood perfectly. If you
repeat any button press multiple times and the Status LED lights correctly
every time, you have no interference and a very reliable installation. If some
of the presses do not light the Status LED, you still have some RFI. Your
best strategy is return to step 3 and try to find a better location for the NX-
RF200.
8. Now that the location is fixed, connect each of the emitters to the appro-
priate IR output and run the cable to the appropriate component. Do not
attach the emitters to the front panel yet!
Utilize the included preprinted labels to identify which emitter goes to which
component. If you’d like to make your own, the slots for the labels have
been sized at 12mm to enable a Brother P-Touch 12mm label to fit perfect-
ly.
NOTE: TiVo, Replay TV, other DVRs, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are
all extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation. For this reason, it is
recommended that you always connect the IR flashers for these types of
component to the Variable IR Outputs of the NX-RF200.
