By default, the Pronto TSU9400 uses infrared (IR) signals to operate devices.
This means that you have to point the TSU9400's
sending eye towards the device you're operating.
You can choose to operate some devices using radio frequency (RF) signals instead of IR signals. Depending on the circumstances,
RF signals have an operating distance up to approximately 30 metres (100 feet) in house and can, unlike IR signals, go through
obstacles like furniture and walls. If the device is RF then it will receive these directly. If it is an IR controlled device,
and in another room or located in a cupboard, then it can receive the signals via the RF extender.
The RF signals sent out by the Pronto TSU9400 are picked up by the RF Extender RFX9400.
The RF extender translates the RF signals in
IR signals and sends the IR signals to the appropriate device. Therefore, the RF extender has to be placed near the device
you're operating.
The RFX9400 wireless extender combines ultra-reliable WiFi RF technology with a unique Pronto protocol on top of the link to ensure
that codes and precision macro timings are perfectly preserved during transmission.
