‘Barrier -Free’ RF control The Optional PowerBlaster TM (for ‘barrier-free’ RF con-
trol) [Sold separately]
Of all the fabulous RF20 features, this is probably the most exciting. When used in
combination with the optional PowerBlaster
TM , the RF20 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 RF20’s radio frequency
signals from any direction, regardless of distance, so RF20 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 RF20 for this
feature to work. Every time you press a button on the RF20, 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 RF20’s radio signals and trans-
late them into the infrared commands that control your Components.
NOTE: The RF20's radio signals will not control Components directly.
You must have a PowerBlaster
TM to receive the RF20's radio signals.
Components that came with "no pointing" radio remote controls cannot
be operated by the RF20 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 RF20.
The RF20 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.
