The infrared Switch System consists of three parts:  A computer system capable of performing as a universal infrared remote control such as the Tobii I-Series or PRC Accent 1400  The infrared receiver unit  The item(s) modified for switch control that will be activated by the user The infrared switch receiver unit is paired with the compatible computer system. The computer is taught the infrared codes from the remote control that comes with the IR switch system. This allows the user of the computer system to send activation signals to the infrared switch system’s receiver unit through the normal access method they use to control the computer, whether that is direct select, switch scanning, eye gaze or traditional interface accessories. Next, an access page is created on the computer system with ‘buttons’ on the page that, when selected by the user, will send the corresponding infrared signal to the IR receiver unit, which in turn activates the switch adapted item that is plugged into the receiver unit. This setup allows the user to take control of a variety of functions independently through an interface (the Tobii or Accent) that they are already using. Alternatively, the Small IR remote that comes with this unit can be switch adapted itself to allow for wireless switch control through any type of ability switch. Two Switch 5 volt Infrared Learning Relay System - This version offers the user two switch controls, each of which can be set to either:  Momentary – The switch stays activated for just a moment, or as long as the button selection is being actively selected.

Which means it’s male USB connector can be plugged into most USB ports to draw power from as well as a conventional power supply plugged into an outlet. **$50 replacement cost.
