How to Connect the Mini PACS

1.  Connect the included RS-232 cable between the Mini PACS and the RS-232 

device.

2.  Connect up to three (3) single or dual IR Emitters to the Mini PACS.  Make 

sure that each LED emitter is close to the IR sensor of the A/V devices to be
controlled.

3.  Connect the relay leads from the control motors of projection screens, blinds, 

or draperies to the relay outputs on the back panel of the Mini PACS.

4.  Connect an Ethernet cable between the Mini PACS and the network. See the 

next page for details on confi guring the network.

5.  Connect the included 12V DC power supply to the power receptacle on the

Mini PACS. Connect the AC power cord to an available electrical outlet.
