The INFRARED CONTROL UNIT consists of the Transmitter and the Receiver assemblies (the PCBs with all their electronic components soldered in place), and all other parts required to operate the unit. The INFRARED CONTROL UNIT can transmit on six (6) bands, so that 6 different devices can be operated at the same time, by selecting different bands, using the band selection switch.
The Transmitter is used to transmit commands to the Receiver, which is mounted on a vehicle or whatever device you choose to make.
On each band the Transmitter can send up to four signals, e.g. to control 2 motors to go forward and reverse. IRCU consists of the Transmitter and Receiver PCBs, switches and battery holders.
The IRCU is for indoor use only and will not operate outdoors. It can operate up to a distance of approximately 20 metres.
Codes: IRCU with PCBIR6-A (INFRARED CONTROL UNIT with ASSEMBLED PCBs)
IRCU with PCBIR6-UN (INFRARED CONTROL UNIT with UNASSEMBLED PCBs)
