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, ensures equal drive current to each emitter, allows easy troubleshooting and permits easy system upgrades later, if needed.

Input connections must be made as illustrated. To extend the Emitter wires to a more distant location, you may splice in 2-conductor wire. Refer to the Connecting Block Installation Instructions for more information.

Fig. 2 illustrates the use of the 480-80 as one of the IR receivers in a larger multi-room system. Connections are made in the conventional way, with home-run cable from each remote room.

CAUTION: With any of these systems, be sure the power supply (in this case the 782-00) is plugged into an un-switched AC outlet. This maintains the IR control system in "standby" operation so that power-ON commands can be sent to the controlled equipment.

Mounting: The 480-80 can be mounted to any flat surface, using the 3/8" x 1-3/4" two-sided adhesive tape supplied. Two screws are included for mounting the 3-terminal block.
