MODEL 

49095D 

Micro Link™ Peep-Hole Style 

Plasma Proof IR Receiver 

 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

 
DESCRIPTION 

The Micro Link IR Receiver is a small peep-hole style infrared repeater 
assembly. The Micro Link IR Receiver is equipped with a 7-foot cable and a 
3.5mm stereo mini plug, which is plugged directly into the “IR RCVR” jack on 
the connecting block, such as the models 789-44, CB60, and 791-44. The 
Micro Link IR Receiver is primarily intended for use in installations where the 
connecting block is within reach of its 7-foot cable – as when installing the 
Micro Link IR Receiver in a cabinet where the controlled equipment is behind 
closed doors.   
 

FEATURES 

 

Small size; mounts in ¾ diameter hole. 2-3/4 inches deep (70mm). 

 

Quick-Connect 3.5mm Stereo Mini Plug on 7ft. cable for direct plug-in to 
Xantech Connecting Blocks.  

 

Works in normal 3-wire mode (12VDC, IR, GND). 

 

Green Talkback LED for System Verification. 

 

Red talkback LED for system verification. 

 

SPECIFICATIONS

to 600’ 20 gauge up to 2000’, 18 gauge up to 5000’ – unshielded OK. 

 

Max. transmission length: 1 mile using 18 gauge wire.  

 

Maximum current output: 100mA 

 

Drives IR emitters through Xantech Connecting Blocks, Controllers, etc. 

 

Dimensions: 3/4” diameter x 2.75” deep (19mm x 70mm). 

 

Power requirements: +12VDC, 20mA. 

 

 

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.  
4. Installation 

complete 

  

MOUNTING 

Drill a 3/4” hole in any 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). 

 
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.  

 

LOCAL SYSTEM APPLICATION 

In this system a 283D Blink-IR Designer Emitter is shown connected to the 
“OUT” jack. If expansion beyond two emitters is required, use a Xantech 789-
44, CB60, or 791-44 Connecting Block.
