This connection may  
The IRX-PP38 IR sensor is designed to provide optimum functionality for IR  
reception and transfer to high-end devices such as plasma televisions which  
sometimes can have issues with other receivers. The IRX-PP38 is compatible  
with AMX’s newest NI-700 and NI-900 NetLinx Master Controllers.

Terminal IR sensor. This sensor adheres to any object within the  
line of sight of your remote and enables you to receive control  
signals from either an IR Emitter or a hand-held remote control.  
• Two screw openings. These openings (located at opposite ends  
of the main IR sensor) are used to secure the unit. This portion  
of the IRX-PP38 is kept out of sight whereas the terminal IR  
sensor adheres to the IR window.

Installation Overview  
Note: Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.  
1.  
2.  
Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires.  
Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the IRX-PP38 connector  
according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in FIG. 2.  
Note: Always match the wiring on each end of these connections. If you  
are using a red insulated wire to supply power on one connector, make  
sure you thread this same wire into the PWR connector at the other end.  
Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the NI’s rear IR RX  
connector, according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described  
Included  
Accessories:  
• Adhesive foam (pre-installed onto the terminal IR sensor)  
• IRX-PP38 Installation Guide (93-0460)  
• Two black metal screws (#2 x 3/8”)

The terminal IR sensor is wired to the main unit via a 34-inch long (2.83 feet)  
cable. The main unit provides both an on-board blue LED (to confirm IR  
reception) and a 3-pin mini-Phoenix connection used to wire the sensor to the IR  
RX (sensor) port on the back of a compatible AMX device (such as the  
NI-700/900 Controllers).  
Tighten the screws to secure the wires into their respective connectors.  
Note: Do not tighten the screws excessively. Doing so may strip the  
threads and damage the connector.

6.  
Remove the cover off the adhesive foam on the IR sensor.  
Adhere the adhesive flat side of the terminal plasma-proof IR sensor to any  
object within the line of sight of your remote. Make sure the raised oval side  
of the terminal IR sensor (opaque) is facing outwards and can receive the  
IR signal from the remote (such as a Mio R-1).

Wiring the IRX-PP38 IR Sensor  
NI Controller  
(with IRX port)  
The maximum wiring distance between the IRX and a target NI Controller (such  
as the NI-700 and NI-900) is 200 feet (60.96 meters). FIG. 2 displays a sample  
wiring diagram which shows how you can wire a single Controller for  
communication to two separate IRX IR sensors.

FIG. 3 Equipment wiring overview  
You can use the IRX-PP38 in any installation where a previous AMX IRX device  
was used. For illustration purposes, the NI-900 is used in this document’s wiring  
diagrams.  
Note: The IRX- PP38 uses the IR input port on an NI-700/900 controller (one  
IRX-PP38 per NI-700/900).
