Installation

The SaphIR 862 Eye is installed into a circular hole 0.5” in diameter. Remove the 

nut from the receiver’s barrel. Insert the Eye (wire end first) until the bezel is flush 
with the surface. Rethread the nut onto the barrel until it is snug against the rear 
of the mounting surface. If necessary, use one or both of the included washers for 
a more secure installation into soft or thin materials. 

Wire Connections

Extended Leads from 862 Eye to Terminal Strip to Connecting Block 

The  extended  connection  between  the  IR  receiver  and  the  connecting  block 

should be made with twisted-pair wiring (i.e., CAT-5e cable). It may be necessary 
to use shielded twisted-pair wiring if the wiring is exposed to interference from 
power wiring centers or from broadcast signals (FM, TV, etc.) located nearby. The 
installer should determine the cable type needed to suit the local conditions of 
the installation. A terminal strip is included for extending the leads.

 Wire Connections

Direct Connection from 862 Eye to Connecting Block

Connect the 862 Eye to the 857 connecting block. Connect GND (GROUND), IR 

(SIGNAL) and Voltage (+12VDC) to connector on the 857.
