Stationary IR Radiator
LA-140

  • No available videos.
  • No available audios.


Highlights

  • Outstanding coverage - 10,000 ft² (929 m²)
  • Two (2) radiators can be powered from a single LT-82 transmitter or optional power supply using standard CAT-5 cabling - eliminating the need for multiple cables
  • White or grey color - allows for a variety of aesthetic settings
  • Includes wall, ceiling, desk, mic stand and tripod mounting brackets - gives multiple options for mounting
  • Units can be horizontally or vertically mounted together - doubles the power in a small footprint
  • Radiator diodes are turned off if no audio signal is present at the transmitter after 30 minutes - saves radiator diode life
  • Delay compensation - ensures no drop out in the IR signal

Overview

The LA-140 IR radiator/emitter packs high infrared power in a small and attractive design, with your choice of grey or white packaging. Designed for easy installation using standard components, the LA-140 is powered via CAT-5 cabling while the RF modulated carriers are delivered via standard coax cable. Mounting brackets are included for wall, ceiling, desk, mic stand and tripod mounting. Power can be supplied by the LT-82 transmitter or from a separate power supply (LA-205). Built-in delay compensation prevents signal cancellation (multi-path) problems and eliminates the piled-up cabling that is required with other systems. The LA-140 is used for government compliance (such as ADA), assistive listening, language interpretation, live theatre, houses of worship, courtrooms, secure rooms and for auditory description.

Quick Reference Card

Up to two LA-140 radiators can be powered by one LT-82. If additional power is required, order an additional LA-205 power supply.

Architectural Specs

The radiator-emitter shall have a single carrier transmitting area of no less than 10,000 ft² (929 m²) or greater for each radiator specified when used with specified receiver. The radiator shall be powered via CAT-5 cabling and the RF from the transmitter shall be carried by 50 ohm coaxial cable. The radiator shall have three indicating LEDs for power, no carrier present and carrier present. The radiator LEDs shall be deactivated after 30 minutes if there is no audio signal present from the transmitter. The radiator shall come in a white or grey color and shall include all of the mounting hardware capable of mounting the radiator on a wall, on a ceiling, in a corner, on a desk, on a mic stand or on a tripod. The Listen LA-140 is specified.

    FAQ

    How much coverage is provided with the LA-140?
    Approximately 10,000 ft² (929 m²).
     
    Does the number of audio sources (carriers) affect the coverage?
    Yes, for two (2) sources (carriers), the total coverage is half of 10,000 ft² (929 m²). For four (4) sources (carriers), the coverage per carrier is one-fourth.
     
    How many radiators can you use on a system?
    Up to 100.
     
    How many radiators will I need?
    Refer to the technical resource section of the Listen website for assistance in making this calculation.
     
    Does the LA-140 come with a power supply?
    No, you must use either the power supply included with the LT-82 transmitter or purchase the optional LA-205 power supply.
     
    How is power delivered to the radiator?
    Power is delivered with CAT-5 cables (connected between the radiator and either the LT-82 transmitter or the optional LA-205 power supply).
     
    How many radiators can be powered from the LT-82 or LA-205 power supply?
    Two.
     
    What is the purpose of the delay compensation switch?
    This switch allows you to set up delay timing in a multi-radiator system so that each radiator receives the carrier at exactly the same time. This prevents signal dropouts that can be caused by out-of-phase signals (multi-path). With Listen’s delay compensation switch, it is not necessary to cut all of your coax cables to the same length - your shorter runs can use shorter cables, keeping your installation clean (and cost-effective).
     
    How do I connect multiple radiators?
    You can daisy-chain the radiators together using coax cables. Power for up to two radiators can be daisy-chained using a short length of CAT-5 cabling or you can power two radiators off one transmitter.
     
    Can I disable the LEDs on the radiator?
    Yes, the LEDs can be turned off at a switch on the back of the radiator.
     
    How many emitting diodes does the LA-140 have?
    The LA-140 radiator has 84 diodes. It has 7 columns of diodes with 12 diodes each. If one diode goes out, you will lose only the diodes on that column.
     
    What is the warranty of the LA-140?
    The LA-140 has a 3-year warranty.
