Determine Coverage Area
Determine the coverage area needed for the seating area. When using the WIR TX90 DC transmitter with the RX22-4 receiver,
in single channel mode, the WIR TX90 DC can achieve a coverage area of 30,000 sq. ft. (2,787 sq. m.). In four channel mode,
the WIR TX90 DC divides its power among the four signals to achieve a coverage area of 11,000 sq. ft. (1,022 sq. m.).
NOTE: The coverage area will vary depending on the sensitivity of the infrared receiver being used. The following
diagram illustrates coverage area when using a RX22-4, RX15-2, or RX18 receiver with a single WIR TX90 DC
transmitter in single channel mode.

These patterns are the direct radiation pattern. The infrared radiation does not drop to zero outside the illustrated patterns; it
decreases. It still may be useable at a greater distance, depending on the receiver sensitivity and the reflective characteristics of
the room.
Reflections of the infrared light from walls, ceilings, and floors may change these patterns.
Important: Remember to point the transmitter towards the listening audience!
Remember: opaque objects block infrared light. Thus, the transmitter cannot be concealed behind opaque walls, curtains, etc.
