INSTALLATION
The 480-85
is intended to be wired to the input terminals of Xantech Connecting Blocks or other devices,
using the supplied 3-terminal block in the remote room location. A 3-conductor cable ((24 gauge up to 200'(61M),
22 gauge up to 600'(183M), 20 gauge up to 1000'(305M), 18 gauge up to 2000'(610M)), is run to the main room.
Connections are then made to a Xantech connecting block, power supply and emitters as shown in the illustration of a
typical basic system on the next page.

MOUNTING
With its small size, the 480-85 can be mounted in many inconspicuous areas and can easily blend into its surroundings.
With the included double-sided strip of stick-tape, the 480-85 can easily be mounted directly on cabinet ledges, under
counters, and even directly on TV monitors or any other flat surface. The high sensitivity of these receivers also allows
placement behind speaker grilles and still receive IR commands from up to 30 feet away.
Note:
If longer range is necessary, 3/8-inch holes must be drilled in the grille to allow unobstructed entry of the IR signal
to each of the IR receiver windows.
1. Remove one side of the double-stick tape from its protective layer and adhere to it the rear of the 480-85 Dinky
Link™
2. Make sure flat mounting surface is properly cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or other to remove any dirt or oils from
the surface.
3. Remove the remaining backing from the double-side stick tape on the rear of the 480-85 and place unit on
desired area on the flat surface you are mounting to.
4. Press evenly on the front of the 480-85 to assure it is properly adhered to the surface.
