Model 291-95
© 2004 Xantech Corporation
INSTALLATION
These units, equipped with a 7-foot cable and 3.5 mm stereo mini plug, are intended to be plugged directly into the "IR
RCVR" or "AUX" jack on Xantech Connecting Blocks, such as the CB12(included), CB60, 789-44, 791-44, etc. The 291-
95 should be used in installations where the connecting block is within reach of the 7-foot cable -- such as when installing
the 291-95 in a cabinet where the controlled equipment is behind closed doors otherwise the included CB12 Connecting
Block can be used to extend the distance.
PLACEMENT
Placement of the IR Receiver does matter when used in the
presence of a Plasma Display. Ideally it should be placed at
areas around the Display with the front of the receiver flush
with the front of (or set back from) the Display. If the 291-95
needs to be placed in front of the display (such as on an
adjacent side wall perpendicular to the display), make sure it is
placed at a location at least 45 degrees off axis from the
corners of the unit – see
Figure 1
. The presence of Direct
Sunlight and Fluorescent Lighting should not effect the
reception of this unit.
Note:
Plasma interference can be reflected off of any item it comes into contact with within approx. 3 ft. from the front of
the display. Keeping this in mind, make sure that the 291-95 is free of any obstruction that might reflect back into the
receiving eye.
Note:
While this unit shows strong rejection to standard 50/60Hz ‘ballasted’ fluorescent lighting, it is still prone to
interference from CFL style Fluorescent lighting.
APPLICATION WIRING
A
typical system
, with a 291-95, 781RG Power Supply and 283M Emitter plugged into a 789-44 Connecting Block, is
shown in
Figure 3
:
1. Plug in the 2.1mm Coaxial power plug of the 781RG Power Supply (not included) into the jack labeled 12VDC on
the 789-44 Connecting Block.
2. Plug the AC end of the 781RG power Supply into an ‘un-switched’ 120v AC Line outlet.
3. Plug the 3.5mm stereo mini plug from the 291-95 into the IR RCVR input on the 789-44 Connecting Block
4. Plug in the Emitters 3.5mm mono mini plug such as any of the 282, 284, 283 and 286 series into the jacks labeled
EMITTERS on the 789-44 and affix the opposite end to the IR Sensor Window of the controlled equipment.
