COMBINING ADDITIONAL IR RECEIVERS

When combining a CAi Series multi-source controller and a secondary IR system together, it needs to be done after the CAi System. The IR information from the keypad is on Pin #2. This signal is demodulated at the keypad and is re-mod- ulated at the processor then sent to the emitter out-puts. Combining a modulated IR signal to this lead (#2) will not work because it is already modulated. The following method should be used to assure correct integration with such com-

Simply plug the IR linking cable supplied with the CAi prod- uct into the IR “Link Out” jack on the CAi and plug the other end into the Russound 857 IR Connecting Block’s “IR Common In”. The secondary IR receiver can either be wired to the terminal block as shown or plugged into the “IR Reciever In” via an 1/8” mini-plug. The emitters that would have been connected directly to the CAi system will now be plugged into the connecting block.
