Wiring for IR control

If you intend to control the display device via infrared (IR) commands from the PC1, you can connect an Extron IR Emitter to the IR Signal and Ground pins (pins 3 and 4) of the shared captive screw connector. The PC1 provides enough current to power one IR Emitter up to 4000 feet, or up to four Emitters for 100 feet each. See the wiring illustration below.

IPL T PC1 Shared IR and Input Connector

The PC1 can power a single IR Emitter up to 4000 feet, or four emitters wired in parallel up to 100 feet each.

Place the head of the IR Emitter over or directly adjacent to the controlled device’s IR receiver.

Wiring the contact Input port

The IPL T PC1 contact closure Input port can be connected to any device providing a closure to ground. The contact closure input is connected to 5 VDC via a 1k ohm pull-up resistor, and must be wired with a ground. This allows the input to be tied to a device such as a momentary switch, motion detector, alarm, photo eye, etc. You can define what this input will trigger via GC2.3.

1.	Connect one end of the input cable to a 3.5 mm, 5-pole
	captive screw connector, wired appropriately, and plug it
	into pins 1 and 2 of the shared input/IR port connector on
	the rear panel.
2.	Connect the other end of the input cable to the input
	device that will provide a triggering signal. (See the
	diagram below.)
