IR Controller
A pair of infrared (IR) strips containing transmitters and receivers attaches to the front and back
walls of the shuttle box chamber to detect the animals’ movement throughout the chamber.
These strips can be adjusted by setting the photo beam height to accommodate different sized
rats and mice. The IR strips connect to an eight-channel I/R control box (ENV-253C) to transmit
data to MED-PC software.
Connect the outputs from the ENV-253C eight-channel IR controller to the inputs on the SG-
716B control panel using the SG-216A 3-pin Molex cable.
See Figure 2-2 for connections from the SG-716B Control Panel to the DIG-716B SmartCtrl card
and the 28Volt connection from the power source to the SG-716B.
