Infrared IR detector relay module with AC adapter & momentary / latching modes
This listing is for an infrared detector module that can be used with your TV remote control to activate the on board relay. The on board relay can be used to activate low powered AC devices such as lamps and fans. The above video offers a full demonstration of how this device works. It comes with an AC adapter for plug-and-play operation right out of the shipping package! We also offer this in DIY kit form for a few dollars less. There are two modes of operation. You can select between latching/toggle and momentary operations by switching a 2-pin jumper on the main board. This is fully explained in the above video. Consider the above video your user manual! This unit is extremely easy to use! If you have any questions after watching the video & reading the information below, please feel free to ask, and I'll do my very best to get back to you ASAP!
Operation:
In latching/toggle mode, the relay will activate once you've pressed a button on your TV remote control, and stay on until you press it again; at which point the relay will toggle off. In Momentary mode, the relay will turn on with you press a button on your TV remote control, and will turn off when you let go. You cannot change modes on the fly. You will need to disconnect the power supply (AC Adapter), then switch the orientation of the jumper. From there, plug the AC adapter back in, and you will have switched modes of operation. There is also a set of two pads on the board labelled GND and IR. These pins allow for you to tap into the IR signal coming from your remote. This allows for easy interface with anexternal microcontroller such as an Arduino or PIC circuit.
There is a 3-pin header on the board. The pins are labelled GND, COM, and 5V.
Latch/Toggle mode: Short the COM and 5V pins together using the 2-pin jumper, and power the unit on. The LED will blink twice upon power up.
Momentary mode: Short the COM and GND pins together using the 2-pin jumper, and power the unit on. The LED will blink once upon power up.
Power Supply Options:
You can use one of two power supply options. There is a 2-pin power block (terminal block). The two pins are labelled V+ (Positive supply line), and GND for supply ground. You can apply 7-9VDC for operation. The primary power supply input is the power jack. This is where you connect the included AC adapter.
This set comes with:
1x Fully assembled and tested Infrared relay driver board
1x 9v 1000mA AC dapter
