OUTPUT COMPONENTS

Universal Wand. IR Universal Wand. Can be used in the low power outputs only. The emitter allows for equipment fascia or shelf mounting.
IRUW

Low Power Wand. Can be attached directly to the equipment facia or will work up to 4 metres away. Even when attached directly, the equipment will still respond to external IR signals. Only to be used with Keene IR systems.
IRLPW

High Power Wand. Will operate equipment from up to 10 meters away. Can also be used in the IR Distribution Amp low power output sockets if required, but will then only perform as a low power emitter. Not suitable for one-to-one operation.
IRHPW

Side Firing Wand. A short range emitter for direct attachment to the equipment fascia.
IRSFW

Dual Blinking Wands. The single jack plug drives two IR emitter wands. The emitters are extremely tiny (just 9mm across) and are supplied with double sided adhesive pads to affix directly to the equipment fascia. The emitters actually flash red as IR signal is emitted giving visual confirmation that the IR signal was received and transmitted correctly.
IRDW

EXTENSION

Extension leads, 3.5mm stereo jack plug to 3.5mm stereo socket to be used on input or output as required. We've tested the input up to 10m and the output to 20m.
3m extension KLD40
5m extension KLD405

You can extend the input much further by using CAT5 cable and a pair of these KA175

I had a few problems with this when It first arrived but Keene's technical team told me a few things to try and now it works perfectly with all my equipment. Keene's after-sales and technical department are at a standard other companies should aim for.

I've been looking for ages for an IR extender to work with my virgin box, because it's IRDA instead of IR non seem to work. This one does, along with the rest of my kit.

Previous Questions

1 Philip E on 22 Jan 2010 asked :
""could you please tell me the difference between an ir universal wand & an ir reicever thank you"

Keene replied: The receiver is the device you point you remote at. The wand sits in front of the device you want to control to relay the IR code.

2 Barry on 19 Nov 2008 asked :
" does this work well with a wall mounted plasma ?? thanks "

Keene replied: It will work but we recommend placing the receiver to the side of the screen not behind or in front as it can occasionally cause interference

3 Ben C on 08 Oct 2008 asked :
"I currently have a mac mini under my TV. I am hoping to move the mac mini into the under stairs cupboard along with all my other AV equipment. Do you know if this IR device will work with the mac mini's built in IR reciever Thanks Ben"

Keene replied: the IRBKIT will pass through any IR signal from the original remote to the IR receiver on the mac mini with no problems.

4 Chet on 18 Aug 2008 asked :
""KEENE IR DISTRIBUTION AMP KIT (EXCL. IR RECEIVER)" I am after the full IR kit which includes the reciever and distribution amplifier with 4 emitters. My question is does this product work with Sky+ boxes and with a Pioneer LX70 Amplifier? Thanks"

Keene replied: Yes it would be fine for use with these devices.
