COMBINING ADDITIONAL IR RECEIVERS
When combining a CAi Series multi-source controller and a
secondary IR system together, it needs to be done after the
CAi System. The IR information from the keypad is on Pin
#2. This signal is demodulated at the keypad and is re-mod-
ulated at the processor then sent to the emitter out-puts.
Combining a modulated IR signal to this lead (#2) will not
work because it is already modulated. The following method
should be used to assure correct integration with such com-
ponents.
Simply plug the IR linking cable supplied with the CAi prod-
uct into the IR “Link Out” jack on the CAi and plug the other
end into the Russound 857 IR Connecting Block’s “IR
Common In”. The secondary IR receiver can either be wired
to the terminal block as shown or plugged into the “IR
Reciever In” via an 1/8” mini-plug. The emitters that would
have been connected directly to the CAi system will now be
plugged into the connecting block.
This method combines the modulated IR signal at the con-
necting block then distributes it to the six emitter ports.
