Installation and Operation, cont’d

2.Attach the black wire of an Extron IR Emitter to pin B (ground) and the white striped wire to pin D (IR signal) of a 3.5 mm captive screw connector, and plug it into the IRL 20’s remaining communications connector, as shown below. Two or three emitters can be wired to the same connector, if needed.

You can use one 5-pole connector to connect both the power input and the IR Emitter (IR output). It is not necessary to use two connectors.

3.Place the head of the IR Emitter near or in front of the IR pickup device of the IR-controllable Extron product
