Here’s How PowerBlaster Works:
™
2. PowerBlaster
converts RF signals
1. RF series remote controls (RF10, RF20, RF30) send RF
(Radio Frequency) signals to PowerBlaster , which is an
to IR (Infrared)
™
commands and sends them out to
components in the same cabinet
space via the built-in front blaster.
RF receiver.
™
3. Self-adhesive “flashers” (included in the PowerBlaster
kit) affix to the front panels of your components. The
flashers relay commands to components out of sight of
™
PowerBlaster’s front blaster. The flashers plug in to
™
PowerBlaster’s rear flasher line output jacks. Each flasher
has a 10’ cable to easily reach components on nearby
shelves.

Program and Test Remote Control First
Don’t connect power to PowerBlaster™ until you have pro-
grammed and tested the remote control line of sight.
PowerBlaster™ can interfere with testing and programming.
STEP 1:
Turn ON all of your components.
Audio /Video components some-
times create RF interference.
Therefore, perform all testing
with all of your components
powered ON (as they will be
when you operate the system).
as the button is released. If
there is any flickering, move
PowerBlaster™ farther away
from the A/V components.
Included 9V power supply
plugs into the MRF-100
power connector.
STEP 4:
Orient the Antenna for Optimum
Range. If you need to extend the
range of the remote, try adjusting
the angle of PowerBlaster’s™
receiving antenna via it’s pivoting
ball mount.
SETP 2:
Connect the Power Supply.
Connect the 9V power supply to
an active UNSWITCHED AC
outlet. PowerBlaster™ must
always be powered up. The red
Power LED should light up.
Six flasher jacks on the rear of PowerBlaster™ connect
flashers for control of A/V components out-of-sight of the
front blaster.
STEP 5:
Mount PowerBlaster™.
PowerBlaster™ may be
concealed and mounted to the
rear wall or back of the system
cabinet. The mounting plate
slides apart from the receiver,
mounts to the wall, then the
receiver can slide back into
place.
STEP 3:
Test Placement of PowerBlaster™.
PowerBlaster™ should be
placed so that the STATUS LED
only lights up when a button is
pressed on an RF series remote
control. It should go out as soon
Six plug-in flashers are supplied
with 10 foot cables and six extra
self-adhesive pads (in case a
flasher has to be repositioned).
