Installation Overview
Note: Never
1. | Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires. |
2. | Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the |
| according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in FIG. 2. |
| Note: Always match the wiring on each end of these connections. If you |
| are using a red insulated wire to supply power on one connector, make |
| sure you thread this same wire into the PWR connector at the other end. |
3. | Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the NI’s rear IR RX |
| connector, according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described |
| in FIG. 2. |
4. | Tighten the screws to secure the wires into their respective connectors. |
| Note: Do not tighten the screws excessively. Doing so may strip the |
| threads and damage the connector. |
5. | Remove the cover off the adhesive foam on the IR sensor. |
6. | Adhere the adhesive flat side of the terminal |
| object within the line of sight of your remote. Make sure the raised oval side |
| of the terminal IR sensor (opaque) is facing outwards and can receive the |
