490 Series
INSTALLATION
Model 490-00 Series
. These units are 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 (refer to specifications above), is run to the main room. Connections are then made to a Xantech
connecting block, power supply and emitters as shown in the following illustration of a typical basic system:
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.
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 under "Specifications", as needed.
Model 490-30 Series
. These units, equipped with a 7-foot cable and 3.5 mm stereo mini plug, are plugged
directly into the "IR RCVR" or "AUX" jack on Xantech Connecting Blocks, such as the CB12, CB20, 789-
44, 791-44, etc. The 490-30 should be used in installations where the connecting block is within reach of
the 7-foot cable -- such as when installing the 490-30 on a cabinet where the controlled equipment is behind
closed doors.
A typical system, with a 490-30, 781RG Power Supply and 282M Emitters plugged into a 791-44 Amplified
Connecting Block, is shown in the following diagram:
Mounting:
Drill a 1/2" hole in any flat surface, such as a cabinet panel. Pass the lead and the body of the
490 through the hole and secure from the rear with the nut (supplied).
Affix the Mini-Emitters, such as the 282, 284, 283 and 286 series, to the IR sensor windows of the controlled
equipment in accord with the instructions that come with them.
