Description
PI Mfg TTA‑1212 IR Repeater Block — Closeout Special
Overview
The PI Manufacturing TTA‑1212 IR Repeater Block enables a simple infrared (IR) control setup where you can use up to 4 separate remote controls directed through a single receiver, essentially consolidating multiple IR sources to one IR receiver input. Because this is a closeout item, quantities are limited and pricing reflects available stock only.
As an authorized distributor, Tri‑Tek Electronics ensures full manufacturer warranty support, factory backing, and local availability for installers, AV integrators, and hobbyists in the Phoenix / Mesa, AZ area.
Key Features
-
Accepts up to 4 remote control sources (via parallel or summed input)
-
One consolidated IR receiver input interface (3-conductor 1/8″/3.5 mm jack)
-
Two emitter output connections for forwarding IR to devices
-
Power receptacle with LED indicator (to show power / status)
-
Compact size for mounting near AV equipment — 48 × 26 × 24 mm
-
Light weight (≈ 19 g)
-
Requires 12 V DC, 200 mA power
Typical Use / Installation Example
In a home theater or equipment rack, you may have multiple IR control zones (e.g. remote in living room, remote in adjacent room, IR sensor on equipment closet door). The TTA‑1212 block allows you to tie those remote sensor lines into one IR receiver line that feeds your system’s IR control processor or IR input. You then route emitter(s) from its output ports to your target devices (e.g. AV receiver, switchers).
A typical wiring path:
-
Mount the TTA‑1212 block near the equipment rack or IR distribution hub.
-
Run the IR sensor cables (from wall plates or remote receivers) into the four remote inputs.
-
Connect the output emitter cables to the devices you wish to control.
-
Provide 12 V DC (200 mA) power to the unit; verify LED indicator is active.
-
Test all remotes — each should function through the single consolidated receiver path.
This setup reduces the complexity of multiple receivers and simplifies wiring, particularly where you want multiple remotes in different zones but only one IR feed into the IR control system.

Important Notes & Recommendations
-
Because this is a closeout product, once stock is exhausted it will not be restocked.
-
Ensure proper shielding and routing of IR sensor cables to avoid noise or interference.
-
When paralleling multiple remotes, use equal-length cable runs or compensate for cable length differences to prevent signal skew.
-
The emitter outputs can typically drive devices with IR windows; ensure good emitter-to-device coupling.
-
Confirm the 12 V DC supply is stable and filtered—voltage drops or noise may degrade IR responsiveness.
-
The compact nature of the unit means overhead space for cabling should be planned.
