Installation Tips:
1. Follow all local electrical & building code
requirements.
2. The IR54 is usually positioned behind the
stereo components it is helping to control.
3. Connect all of the infrared receivers in parallel
to the IR54 three terminal connector as shown in
the diagram. Wires can be solid or stranded,
shielded or unshielded with a minimum of 24
gauge for runs under 200’, 22 gauge for runs
under 500’ and 20 gauge for runs up to 1000’.
Wires can be looped from IR receiver to receiver
or home run. Home runs generally offer more
reliability and future flexibility.
4. Connect the emitters by inserting their plugs
into any available IR54 emitter jack. Up to four
single emitter or double emitters (maximum eight
emitters) can be connected to a single IR54. If
more emitter connections are required, call Knoll
for amplified connection block information.

Note: When using more than 150 foot lengths of shielded
cable (total) to connect IR receivers to the IR54, it may be
necessary to add a 470 ohm 1/4 watt 5% resistor
between the IR55 “GND” and “IR OUT” terminals. This
resistor discharges cable capacitance.
5. Lastly plug the PS1202 or PS1205
power supply into the IR54 and test the
whole system.
