Essential Info

This basic IR Sensor comes with interchangeable white and ivory covers to match your décor. Extensive shielding and special ground plane PCB design creates robust immunity to electrical noise. Includes a talkback LED behind a pin-hole in the faceplate so that there is a visual reference to IR commands. Typical range is 40 ft. with acceptance angle of 130°.

Note: If you are installing this sensor close to a LCD or Plasma TV, be aware that there may be some interference. We recommend testing the sensors ability to repeat IR commands before drilling holes in your wall.

What's Included

  • Wall-Mount IR Sensor

    • More Info

    Convert signals from IR remotes into DC that are transmitted along wires to emitters at the audio/video equipment. Install this Wall-mount IR Sensor in a standard electrical junction box or a low-voltage mud ring. Each has the same opening as a Decora wiring device and needs to be finished with a Decora-style trim plate (sold separately).

    The Wall-mount IR Sensor include a wiring terminal on the rear for connection to 3- or 4-conductor cable. Cat. 5 cable is recommended for conections. Additionally, a talkback LED is included on the front for system testing as well as indicating infrared reception. The IR Sensor is powered by 12 volts DC from the IR Connection Block.

    This IR sensor may be used with other models and brands (generally up to 16 on one system) without interference.

    JORGE -- flowery branch, GA   2/18/2011
    Like all Buffalo products, work as expected. Only issue I had is that it is not as good as the round repeater in receiving the IR signal. You have to point the remote directly at it for signals to be received.
    JAMES -- urbandale, IA   8/15/2010
    this is the 2nd wall mount ir sensor I've purchased. 1st is still going strong after 4 years. High wife acceptance factor
    JOSH -- columbus, OH   2/5/2010
    I had some trouble with one of the wire receptacles on the back being bent/twisted to the point it wouldn't screw-down to connect. Thought I was going to have to return it, but fixed it myself. Worked fine for a week and now seems to not pick up signal from remotes at the same distance. Going to check remote for battery issues. Easy to install, but directions suggested CAT-5 paired wires, but found I needed a thicker gauge (ended up with thermostat wiring)
    AUBREY -- uniondale, NY   1/7/2010
    Easy to set up works very well,great for home theater installation
    LAN -- sacramento, CA   12/11/2009
    This wall mount IR Sensor works great so far. It has been used for a month now and has no problem. It actually works better than Niles's equivalent product and it's a much better value than the Niles. I recommend this product over the Niles' wall mount IR sensor.
    MILES -- elwood, XX   8/16/2009
    Easy to install and works well. The small green feedback LED is a nice feature.
    JACQUES -- lasalle, QC   6/8/2009
    Too sensitive to sun light. Great otherwise.
    SANDEEP -- calgary, AB   5/9/2009
    Works really well, once its "warmed up". I have an LCD TV and when I switch the TV on, the first couple of minutes the remote doesn't work. After that, no problems.
    MATTHEW -- phoenix, AZ   4/17/2009
    Easy to install works without any problems
    ZANE -- west jordan, UT   1/27/2009
    This is a good product and works weell other than the "warm-up" time. It seems like it is in sleep mode at first, not sending the IR signal. After it wakes up, works great.
    LEONARD J -- elmwood park, NJ   11/23/2008
    Gets interference from Interference from LCD Tvs. Switched to Xantech Ir Receiver No Problems
    JEVON P -- san antonio, TX   11/13/2008
    Works okay, but freezes when first used for at least 1 minute.
    GEORGE -- bowling green, KY   9/29/2008
    Easy to install and looks great!
    GORDON -- ridgewood, NJ   9/2/2008

    SCOTT -- terre haute, IN   5/15/2008
    Item is very easy to install and works well
    WAYNE -- riverton, UT   4/16/2008
    Sometimes works better when remote is not directly at sensor.
    RICH -- norton, MA   3/20/2008
    This IR sensor was better than I had expected and it works great.
    CHAD -- jackson, MI   1/7/2008
    Excellent Product, I love it
