To check the proper working of the system it is advisable first to test the formation as
planned. For this reason connect everything as described as follows but don’t fix or screw the
components yet.
1.

Install the IR Module at a place within reach behind or next to your A/V equipment and
near a 230V plug (100-240Volt 50/60Hz). Take into account the length of the cable of
the IR LEDs and make sure that the connections are kept accessible if possible.

Plug the required IR Extension cables (with the 2 IR LEDs) into the IR Module (Picture 1 nr. 4).
A self-adhesive foil is supplied with the IR LEDs. With that you can fasten the IR LEDs to
the IR window of your A/V equipment. Note: it’s tricky work. First test the position and
working of the IR LEDs before fixing them permanently to the IR window of your A/V
equipment. Note: If you use only one of the 2 LEDs, then leave the second IR LED
unused. Never remove it from the IR extension cable!

Now connect the IR Receiver to the IR Module, for your convenience the connection clip
has been connected to the wiring of the IR Receiver, take care when plugging in of the
correct position (nuts up) and colours of the wiring. When you have to disconnect the
wiring for instance because a connecting clip won’t go through a hole in the furniture,
connect afterwards the wiring to the clip according to the connection scheme in Picture 2.

Place the supplied IR receiver in such a way that it is visible for your infrared remote
control. The infrared LED indicator on the IR receiver lights up or flashes when it receives
an infrared signal. Use the LED indicator to place the IR receiver in the place with the
least interference (LED indicator is not activated or only faintly lights up). Because of the
supplied self-adhesive strip installation is possible almost everywhere. Experiment for the
correct place before you fix the IR receiver definitively. Note: The adhesive strip can cause
discoloration on certain surfaces or leave glue remnants by removal.

Connect the power adapter to the ‘POWER’ connection of the IR module and plug the
adapter to a wall plug. Check if the ‘POWER’ LED is on.
