IR RECEIVER CABLE WIRING
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 is supplied 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.
LOCAL SYSTEM APPLICATION
Another application is to locate the IR receiver in a central location, such as
the TV, video screen and/or a speaker. The audio/video equipment can then
be hidden inside a cabinet or located away from the front of a room. This will
give the end-user the ability to direct a remote control to one central location
and not have to worry about aiming to the respective device to be controlled.
The IR receiver is in close proximity to the audio/video equipment, no wiring
extension should be required so long as the connecting block is within reach
of the 7-foot cable. The 3.5mm stereo type mini plug is connected to the “IR
RCVR” jack on the Xantech Connecting Block.
PLACEMENT
The IR receiver should be located so that it is not directly facing a light source
such as lamps or displays (standard, LCD, and Plasma). When mounted near
a display, it should be flush to the display and away from light reflections that
may occur.
