Additional Receiver Diode

Postby Squintz » Mon Aug 08, 2005 5:19 pm

I have owned my uirt for a few months now and I am just starting to get around to installing it. I noticed that the 1/8in jack seems to only support the emitter diodes. Is there a way to add a second receiver diode to the circuit. I am handy with a soldering IRON so putting a connector to allow me to add a second wouldnt be hard for me. Question is will the Uirt still function properly afterwards.

The situation I am having right now is that I want to have an emmiter and receiver in my bedroom two floors above my basement where the Uirt is located. I am using Charmed Quark Controller(CQC) to control my Z-wave lights with an IR remote. It works well in the basement but not sure If I will be able to get it to work in my bedroom.

There have been a few who have connected an external IR receiver but it is not recommended. It is not an IR diode but actually an IR Receiver IC chip. It would have to be extended with a 3-conductor shielded cable.
