Infrared Control Wiring
Using Compatible Infrared Emitters and Receivers
The AVAtrix has an active, 12 volt IR pathway that allows it to power the IR receivers at the zones, and
drive emitters connected to the AVAtrix. Do not use powered IR systems that are designed to use a sepa-
rate power source, or equipment damage could result. The AVAtrix powers IR receivers with 12 volts; do
not use IR receivers designed for any other voltage. Use only three-wire receivers or damage could result.
