INSTALLATION
QUICK-START
A typical system will use an IR receiver, several emitters, and a power supply
all connected to a connecting block.
1. Connect the IR receiver to the “IR RCVR” port on the connecting
block. The ‘red’ connector is installed to the ‘red’ plug.
Note: In some extended distances, additional 3-conductor may be
required and can be connected to the terminals on the connecting
block.
2. Connect the Emitters to the connecting block. The ‘yellow’ connector
is installed to the ‘yellow’ plug.
3. Connect the power supply to the connecting block.
REMOTE ROOM APPLICATION
One application is to locate the IR receiver in a remote room. This will give the
end-user the ability to control audio/video equipment from a location where
the remote control no longer has the ability of direct line-of-sight.
The IR receiver will need the 3.5mm stereo type mini plug removed to extend
the wire run to the connecting block. A 3-terminal block can be purchased
separately to connect the IR receiver to the connecting block with a 3-
conductor inter-room cable in between.

The 3-conductor inter-room cable (24 gauge up to 200’, 22 gauge up to 600’,
20 gauge up to 2000’, 18 gauge up to 5000’), is run to the main room.
Input connections must be made as illustrated. To extend the emitter wires to
a more distant location, you may splice in 2-conductor wire, in the wire
gauges mentioned before, as needed.
While it is possible to make wired connections without the connecting block, it
is not recommended. The connecting block reduces installation time, helps to
eliminate errors, allows easy troubleshooting and permits easy system
upgrades later, if needed.
