APPLICATION WIRING
A typical system, with a WL85, 781ERGPS Power Supply and 283M
Emitters plugged into a 789-44 Connecting Block, is shown in Figure 3:
1. Wire the appropriate leads of the 3 or 4-conductor cable from the
WL85 to the +12VDC, GND, STATUS (if applicable), and IR IN
terminals on the 789-44 Connecting Block
2. Plug in the 3.5mm mono mini plug from any of the 282, 284, 283
and 286 series Emitters into the jacks labeled EMITTERS on the
789-44 Connecting Block and affix the opposite end to the IR
Sensor Window of the controlled equipment.
3. Plug in the 2.1mm Coaxial power plug of the 781ERGPS Power
Supply (not included) into the jack labeled 12VDC on the 789-44
Connecting Block.
4. Plug the AC end of the 781ERGPS power Supply into an ‘un-
switched’ 120VAC outlet.

and 283D Emitters
ADVANCED WIRING CONFIGURATION
WL85 may also be used in conjunction with other Xantech IR Receivers by
simply wiring in parallel on a Connecting Block such as the 791-44 Amplified
Block as shown in Figure 4 below.
1. Connect all IR Receivers in parallel at the terminals of the
connecting block as shown in Figure 4 below.
2. Plug in the 2.1mm Coaxial power plug of the 781ERGPS (or 782)
Power Supply (not included) into the jack labeled PWR on the 789-
44CB.
NOTE: Up to 7 IR Receivers may be connected in parallel with a
single 781ERGPS power supply. If more IR Receivers or any
Keypads are required, check total current requirements and increase
power supply current rating accordingly; i.e. 782-00 - 1.2A power

series) into the Emitter Outputs on the 791-44.

series, 781ERGPS Power Supply and multiple 283D’s
CAUTION: With any of these systems, be sure the 781ERGPS (or 782-00)
Power Supply is plugged into an un-switched AC outlet. This maintains the
780 system in "stand-by" operation so that power-on commands can be sent
to the controlled equipment.
USING THE STATUS LED INDICATOR
The WL85 Plasma Friendly IR Receiver includes a Status LED located just
below the Talkback LED (See cover page). This permits the system to have
a visible power ON/OFF indicator in the remote room.
When used with any of Xantech’s Whole-house Audio Video Entertainment
systems such as the MRC-88, or the ZPR68-10 Pre-Amp as part of the
normal 4-wire hookup, connect the terminal marked STATUS on the WL85
Plasma Friendly IR Receiver to the appropriate Zones STATUS (or CO)
connection on the MRC or ZPR system controller. See Figure 5 below. This
will give visual ON/OFF status of the associated zone on the AV System
Controller.
