Installation Tips
1. Follow all local electrical & building code requirements.
2. The IR220 is usually mounted on the surface of a panel, door,
cabinet or plate. For easy installation and to ensure reliability, it is
suggested that a PS1202 (200 mA) or PS1205 (500 mA) 12 VDC
unregulated power supply, IR31a (single) or IR34a (dual) emitters
and one of the following: IR54 (decora inwall style, 4 output) or
IR55 (tabletop style, 4 output) connection block, be used.
3. Wires can be solid or stranded, shielded or unshielded with a
minimum of 28-gauge for runs under 200’, 22-gauge for runs under
500’ and 20-gauge for runs up to 1000’. Wires can be looped from
IR220 to IR220 or home run. Home runs generally offer more
reliability and future flexibility.
4. IR220s can be mixed and matched in larger systems with up to
10 infrared receivers, such as the Knoll IR100 or IR230.
5. Mount the IR220 using the double sided sticky tape provided. It
is best to mount the IR220 where it will not get direct sunlight on
it.
