Micro Link™ Peep Hole Style 

Plasma\LCD\LED\CFL Friendly 

IR Receiver 

 

 

 

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 1/2” diameter hole. 2 inches deep (50mm). 

 

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. 

 

Includes 789-44 Connecting Block, Power supply, and four 283D emitters 
for easy system installation. 

 

 

SPECIFICATIONS
