CABLE CONNECTIONS 

490’s may also be used where the 7-foot cable is not long enough. Simply 
cut off the mini plug, strip the leads and splice them to a 3-conductor 
extension cable with a terminal block or other means. Then connect the 
extension cable to the 3- or 4-terminal block on the connecting block.

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.  
 
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.  

 

 
 
 

 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
 

 
 

 
LARGE SYSTEM APPLICATION 

The 490D Series IR receiver is compatible with all Xantech Connecting 
Blocks. Different connecting blocks are provided for application specific 
situations. For instance, in the diagram below, a 791-44 connecting block is 
used to control several components.
