Wiring the IRL 20
The Extron IRL 20 is a hardwired IR signal receiver, which can be used with the
MLC 52 and the IR 452 remote control. The IRL 20 receives a signal via its front
panel from the IR 452 remote control, and outputs a modulated IR signal via an
IR Emitter or the IR Link.
Wire and connect the IRL 20 to the MLC 52 as described below.

Wiring the IRL 20
1
.
If it has not already been done, cut the required length of Extron CTL
(Comm-Link) cable to go between the MLC 52 and the IRL 20. See
appendix A for cable part numbers.
The maximum total distance between an Extron controller and the IRL 20 is
150’ (45.7 m).
2
.
Attach a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector to the end of the cable that
will be plugged into the IRL 20.
3
.
Connect the wires on the other end of the cable to the provided 3.5 mm 6-pole
captive screw connector.

Do not connect more than one IRL 20 or IR Link (either in parallel or in series)
to an Extron device.

.
Plug the 5-pole connector end of the cable into one of the IRL 20’s
communications connectors.
5
.
Plug the 6-pole connector end of the cable into the control port on the MLC 52
back panel.
6
.
Connect power to the MLC or the IRL 20.
+12 VDC Power is shared between the MLC 52 and the IRL 20 when they are
connected. You can wire the power supply to either the MLC or the IRL 20.
