39. The IR LED wiring offers you a bit of flexibility to cus tom match the
RRW1B to your application. You will need to determ ine how long of a wire
you will actually need to fit the job at hand and then cut it to l ength. The 2
foot piece of wire that is supplied with the kit is m ore than enough for most
of the common component cases available today (we didn’t want to in-
clude an entire 1000 foot spool with every kit either!) . The RRW1B has
been tested with upwards of 750 feet of extension wire for D22 so custom
wiring jobs can really increase the range of your system!
40. Trim both the red and black hook-up wires on each end to 1 /4”. Tin all
four ends with solder to prevent them from fraying.
41. Cut the 1/8” piece of heatshrink in half and slide a piece onto one end
of the red wire. On the same end, slide the other piece onto the black
wire. These will keep the leads of the IR LED from shorting t ogether later.
42. Bend the leads of the IR LED outward in a slight ’Y’ for mation to give
yourself some space between the two leads to solder the hook -up wires.
43. Attach the IR LED to the hook-up wire by soldering the black wire to
the Cathode (K) and the RED wire to the Anode (A). Use the end with the
1/8” heat shrink tubing in place so you can slide them over t he junctions
later. Look at the LED diagram of D20 for clarification if needed. A pair of
needle-nose pliers work well to make small loops in the wire ends to slide
the IR LED leads through. After you slide the leads through the loops,
tighten them down so the IR LED leads are held in pl ace for soldering.
44. Trim back the excess IR LED lead wire for a nice, c lean assembly and
slide the heat shrink tubing up and over the leads to th e base of the IR
LED. You may need to trim any sharp edges off of the s older joint before
the tubing will slip over.
45. Install the other end of the Black wire into the J20 ter minal jack closest
to the corner (labeled BLACK) and the Red wire into the other hole
(labeled RED). Use a small screwdriver to gently tighten the do wn screws.
FINISHED!!! Now we are ready to begin testing our handiwor k!
