Specifications

The MRF-260 is a compact, fully addressable RF base station compatible with URC's many Narrow Band-equipped remote controls. The base station features an integrated Narrow Band receiver and antenna, two fixed line outputs for IR emitters, and two adjustable or variable, line outputs. Each adjustable output can be matched to the IR input on any component that a standard IR repeater can operate. The base station extends the reception range for flawless connectivity from compatible remotes up to 100 feet away through walls, floors and doors, indoors or outdoors. It eliminates the line-of-sight requirement, and can even be concealed in cabinets for true "Barrier Free" control. The Narrow Band capability offers significant installation advantages.

In addition to improving devices' range and reliability, it improves spurious adjacent signal rejection, ignoring unneeded signals. A bright red LED status light flickers to alert users to the presence of RF interference. The MRF-260 can be programmed to operate equipment at up to 15 locations, like a den or a bedroom, anywhere in a house by installing an MRF-260 at each location. Four shallow grooves on the top panel of the MRF-260 accept standard Brother P-Touch self-adhesive labels, allowing installers to easily identify each component connected to the corresponding outputs. The base station is designed for use with standard 3.5 mm plugs.

Two Variable IR Outputs Match Rear Panel IR Inputs

The MRF-260 is equipped with two adjustable IR line outputs. Each output can be individually matched to rear panel IR inputs on any component that is designed to be operated by a standard IR repeater. The outputs utilize a 3.5mm jack and are compatible with standard IR emitter/flashers as well. It also features Interference Rejection and Extended Range via Narrow Band. The MRF-260 receives RF (radio frequency) signals via its integrated RF receiver and antenna. The MRF-260 displays RF interference via a bright red Status LED, which flickers when interference is present if the ID is set to 0. Simply relocate the MRF-260 should interference occur. The MRF-260 is equipped with two fixed IR line outputs with standard 3.5 jacks for standard IR emitter/flashers.

Up To Fifteen Equipment Locations with Identical Components

Each MX/TX remote is "addressable." They can be programmed to specifically control components in a particular room by installing an MRF-260 base station at each location. In operation it’s simple: when you select a device located in the Den, the MX/TX remote only sends commands to the Den. When you select a device located in the Family Room, the MX/TX remote only sends commands to it.

A single MRF-260 can control an array of identical components or identical zones of a multi zone preamp/matrix switcher. Each MRF-260 has four "addressable" IR Line Outputs. For example, you can control up to four identical TVs with one MRF-260 or route volume commands for a specific zone to a particular zone IR input on a multi-zone preamp. If you have more than four identical components or zones, up to 15 additional MRF-260s can be installed to control them - thus allowing up to 60 identical components or zones in one house.
