Equipment

Input connections must be made as illustrated. To extend the emitter wires to a more distant location, you may splice in 2-conductor wire, in the wire gauges mentioned before, as needed.

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, allows easy troubleshooting and permits easy system upgrades later, if needed.

LOCAL SYSTEM APPLICATION

Another application is to locate the IR receiver in a central location, such as the TV, video screen and/or a speaker. The audio/video equipment can then be hidden inside a cabinet or located away from the front of a room. This will give the end-user the ability to direct a remote control to one central location and not have to worry about aiming to the respective device to be controlled.

REMOTE ROOM APPLICATION

One application is to locate the IR receiver in a remote room. This will give the end-user the ability to control audio/video equipment from a location where the remote control no longer has the ability of direct line-of-sight.

The IR receiver will need the 3.5mm stereo type mini plug removed to extend the wire run to the connecting block. A 3-terminal block is supplied to connect the IR receiver to the connecting block with a 3-conductor inter-room cable in between. The 3-conductor inter-room cable (24 gauge up to 200’, 22 gauge up to 600’, 20 gauge up to 2000’, 18 gauge up to 5000’), is run to the main room.

of the 7-foot cable. The 3.5mm stereo type mini plug is connected to the “IR RCVR” jack on the Xantech Connecting Block.

PLACEMENT

The IR receiver should be located so that it is not directly facing a light source such as lamps or displays (standard, LCD, and Plasma). When mounted near a display, it should be flush to the display and away from light reflections that
