Wiring for IR remote control
An optional IR Link or IRL 20 can be connected to the IR In pole of the control
connector to enable the MLC to receive IR signals from the IR 452.
Only one IR Link
or
one IRL 20 can be attached to the MLC 52.
To wire the IR Link for use with your MLC, follow these steps:
1
.
Prepare the site where the IR Link will be installed and install a wall box,
following the directions in the
IR Link User’s Manual
, provided with your
IR Link equipment.
2
.
Cut the required length of Extron CTL (Comm-Link) cable to go between the
MLC 52 and the IR Link. The power cable length should not exceed 150'
(45.7 m).
3
.
Attach a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector to one end of the cable and a
6-pole captive screw connector to the other end. Only three wires are
required:
•
A
(MLC) to
A
(IR Link)
•
B
(MLC) to
B
(IR Link)
•
C
(MLC) to
D
(IR Link)
Connect the wires as shown in the illustration below. Connectors are
included with the IR Link, but the cable must be purchased separately.
