Introduction

Stand-Alone System Connections:

A: Basic System

Figure 2 shows a basic IR distribution system using the ATON AIB4 Amplified IR Connection Block, AIR6 In-Wall IR Receiver, and AIE2 Talk-Back IR Emitters to con- trol source equipment.

3.Connect the Cat-5 wires to the correct location on the AIB4 connection terminals (+12VDC, IR, STATUS, and GND).

4.Install and plug the AIE1 Emitters into the AIB4.

5.Set the DIP switches to LP ON and NET ON.

6.Plug the local AIR5 IR Receiver into the IR RECEIVER jack.

7.Plug in the PS2 12VDC Power Supply.

8.IR signals sent to the AIR6s will pass through the AIB4 and control the equipment.

NOTE: Refer to the ATON AIB4 Instructions for power supply considerations and other important information.

Advanced IR Filtering Technology

The AIR6 features Advanced IR Filtering Technology that reduces IRI, CFL, EMI, and ESI noise sources in addition to blocking plasma TV emissions. This means that the AIR6 can be used in areas that receive substantial ambient noise such as near plasma TVs or compact flourescent lights.

NOTE: The AIR6 will take a few seconds to adjust to a given noise source. During this time, the blue Activity LED will glow brightly and then fade out. If the inter- ference disappears momentarily,then returns, the fade down process will repeat. Certain noise sources, however, (such as plasma screens) may result in low-level flickering even after the fade down. This is normal. Such signals have been fil-

The ATON AIR6 is a small, attractively styled ‘plasma-friendly’ IR receiver designed to fit in-wall electrical boxes (J-Boxes). This receiver uses advanced IR filtering technology which allows it to work even in areas that receive normally harmful interference (near plasma TV’s, compact flourescent lights, etc.).

Features (Refer to Figure 1)

• Stripped Leads Plus a 4-Conductor Terminal Strip

• ‘Plasma-Friendly’ Technology Helps Block Plasma TV Interference

• IR Lens Rejects Visible Light Interference

• Internal Crosshatch Shield Inhibits EMI/ESI Interference

• STATUS Indicator: Green LED for System On/Off indication

Limited Warranty

ATON* warrants to the purchaser/end user (“you”) that the AIR6 is to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of five (5) years from date of purchase (the “Warranty Period”). This warranty is transferable to subsequent owners of the product as long as the original proof of purchase is retained. If you discover a defect in material or workmanship within the Warranty Period, you can obtain warranty ser- vice by contacting ATON during the Warranty Period at (859)-422-7137 or service@atonhome.com. If ATON determines that the product is in fact defective, ATON shall, at its option, repair or replace the product free of charge to you.

1.Pull Cat-5 from the AIR6’s mounting location to the connection terminals of an AIB4 Amplified IR Distribution Block.

2.Connect the Cat-5 wires and IR emitters into the AIB4, as shown.

3. Using the provided screws, mount the AIR6 into a J Box-type electrical box.

4. Set the DIP switches on the AIB4 to LP ON and NET ON or OFF.

5. Plug in the power supply.

6. IR signals sent to the AIR6 will pass through the AIB4 and control the equipment.

B: Multi-Room System

Figure 3 shows an example of multiple AIR6 IR Receivers in a stand-alone multi- room system. These control the various components in the equipment area.

1.Pull Cat-5 from each room (home runs) to the AIB4 terminator near the controlled components.

NOTE: MAX DISTANCE of ALL Wire Runs is 1200 ft using Cat-5 cable. When using long lengths, the dipswitch on the AIB4 must be set to the NET ON position and a 500 Ohm resistor must be used.

2.Connect IR receivers in each room to the Cat-5 runs as shown, using the termi- nal strips supplied.

STATUS Brightness

Figure 3 also shows how an external resistor can be added to reduce the bright- ness of the Status LEDs on ATON IR receivers. In this example, a PS2 12VDC Power Supply is used as the voltage source to indicate ON/OFF status of an A/V Receiver. Choose a resistor value that achieves the brightness you desire (about 2.2k to 12k, 1/8W). Connect it in series with the STATUS lead on each IR receiver, as shown.

This warranty shall not apply to equipment (a) not manufactured by ATON, (b) to equipment which was improperly installed, (c) which was repaired or altered by persons other than ATON or its authorized repre- sentatives or subject to unauthorized tampering, alteration or modification, (d) damaged due to misuse, negligence, accident, acts of God (including, but not limited to, excess moisture, insects, lightning, flood, electrical surge, tornado, earthquake, or other catastrophic events beyond ATON’s control), or (e) subject to improper operation, maintenance or storage or unreasonable use. The foregoing warranties do not cover reimbursement for labor, transportation, removal, installation or other expenses which may be incurred in connection with repair or replacement. The foregoing remedies shall be your exclusive remedies for any breach of warranty.

Further, the foregoing warranty does not extend to equipment sold, but not manufactured by, ATON (“Third Party Products”). With respect to any Third Party Products, the warranty for such product shall be as pro- vided by the manufacturer of such product, who will also be responsible for warranty service, and ATON will pass through to you any transferable warranty actually extended to ATON by the manufacturer.

THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESSED AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES. ATON EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON- INFRINGEMENT. Notwithstanding the above, where applicable, if you qualify as a “consumer” under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, then you may be entitled to any implied warranties allowed by law for the Warranty Period. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied Limited Warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
