ICS-55
Infrared Dome Sensor

The ceiling sensor is the preferred infrared sensor for optimum performance. It comes standard with Maxim II, Spectrum II, VoiceLink II and VoiceLink IV packages. This is the unit that needs to be installed on the ceiling. It comes with a mounting/support bracket and 50 feet of plenum rated cable with RCA connector on each end. The ideal location for the dome sensor would be in the center of the ceiling. This will provide a clear signal path for the IR transmission from the transmitter to the dome sensor without obstruction. In addition, you will have 360° coverage and will minimize the transmission distance for more reliable performance. It collects the infrared transmission signal via 6 large detecting diodes. The sensor is connected to the mixer/amplifier via a plenum rated cable terminated with RCA connectors. The mixer/amplifier supplies the power to the sensor.

IWS-35
Infrared Corner Sensor

The corner sensor comes standard with VoiceLink I and VoiceLink Plus systems for best value. It is the component that receives the infrared transmission from the microphone/transmitter and sends the signal to the receiver via a dual shielded cable. The sensor has 2 large receiving diodes. The receiving pattern of the sensor is like an elliptical shape cone about 90º horizontal by 60° vertical. It is designed for mounting in a corner near the ceiling. Its interconnect is a short cable with a female RCA connector. The sensor can be installed on a wall with satisfactory performance, but many have some disconnectivity at extreme off-axis reception. An additional sensor can be installed for broader coverage or as a supplement to cover a remote area. Its location is very important. Corner installation provides the best performance. By mounting in the corner, the infrared transmission can bounce off the walls and ceiling giving a reflective funnel effect.
