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.

MOUNTING:

The MR1 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 provided with the MR1. Affix the Mini-Emitters (such as the E1, E2, VE1, and VE2) to the IR sensor windows of the controlled equipment in accordance with the instructions that come with them.

NOTE: With any of these systems, be sure the PS1 power supply is plugged into an un- switched AC outlet. This maintains the SMR1 system in "standby" operation so that power-on commands can be sent to the controlled equipment.

OPTILINQ RECEIVER TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS:

1.The most common problem encountered is stray IR or electronic interference or noise disrupting the IR signal from the remote control preventing proper transmission to the source equipment.

Examples of such interference:

•Fluorescent, Halogen or Neon lights, and light dimmers.

•Direct or reflected sunlight.

•Electronic noise from tube or flat panel televisions.

•Infrared security sensors.

2.Determine possible sources of interference by turning off lights, TV sets, and alarm systems as well as isolating the receiver from any sunlight. Then test the operation of the system.

•Sometimes interference will cause the talk-back LED to blink or illuminate dimly indicating noise entering the receiver.

•The talk-back LED should ONLY blink when IR commands are sent from a remote control to the receiver.

•When the source of interference is determined, it may be necessary to move either the source of the noise or the receiver to achieve proper operation.

3.If the talk-back LED on the receiver does NOT blink when IR commands are sent from the control, check the following:

•Make sure the PS1 power supply is securely plugged into a live 120V AC wall outlet.

•Be sure that if you are using a receiver with a stereo mini plug that it is plugged into the IR RCVR jack and not any of the EMMITER jacks.

•Check to see that all mini plugs are properly seated into the jacks and that the wires are securely attached to the screw header.

4.If using a VE1 or VE2 and it is flashing but the component is not responding, make sure that the emmiter is located directly over the IR receiver of the component. Consult the owners manual of the component or the manufacturer if you are having trouble locating the receiver.
