APPLICATION WIRING
A
typical system
, with a 480-85, 781RG Power Supply and 283M Emitter plugged into a 789-44 Connecting Block, is
shown in
Figure 2
:
1. Run the 7 foot ribbon wire of the Dinky Link™ back to the home run location or where ever the Connecting Block
will be placed.
Note:
If the connecting block must be placed at a distance greater than 7 feet, attach the tinned ends of the Dinky
Link™ cable to the terminals of the supplied 3-terminal strip (See
Figure 2
)
2. Connect the outer white-striped wire (IR Signal) of the Dinky Link’s ribbon cable to the terminal labeled IR IN on
the 789-44 Connecting Block.
3. Connect the middle wire (+12V) of the Dinky Link’s ribbon cable to the terminal l12V on the 789-44
Connecting Block.
4. Connect the outer black wire (GND) of the Dinky Link’s ribbon cable to the terminal labeled GND on the 789-44
Connecting Block.
5. 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.
6. Connect the 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.
7. Plug the AC end of the 781RG power Supply into an ‘un-switched’ 120v AC Line outlet.

CAUTION:
With any of these systems, be sure the 781-RG Power Supply is plugged into an un-switched AC outlet. This
maintains the 480 system in "stand-by" operation so that power-on commands can be sent to the controlled equipment.
ADJUSTING IR CARRIER FREQUENCY
The 480-85 is factory set to an IR carrier frequency of 38kHz. This will be correct for the majority of installations, however,
some manufacturer's components that you wish to control may use different carrier frequencies (such as the RCA DSS
Receivers, SA Cable boxes, etc which use carrier frequencies within the range of 52kHz - 56kHz). If such carrier
frequencies fall within the range of 32 kHz to 56 kHz, you can adjust the 480-85 to match them for best range
performance. The adjustment can be made through a small opening on the front of the unit. See
Figure 1
.
To adjust, proceed as follows:
1. First, try the 291-80 in the repeater system. If it controls all of the desired components with adequate range,
do
not make any adjustments!
