Russound CA-Series instruction manual Warranty, Combining Additional IR Receivers

COMBINING ADDITIONAL IR RECEIVERS

When combining a CA Series multi-source controller and a secondary IR system together, it needs to be done after the CA System. The IR information from the keypad is on Pin #2. This signal is demodulated at the keypad and is re-modulat- ed 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- ponents.

The emitter outputs on the CA Series are wired in series, so #1 must be used first in order to obtain a signal. Simply plug the IR linking cable supplied with the CA product into emit- ter port #1. 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 a 1/8” mini-plug. The emitters that would have been connected directly to the CA system will now be plugged into the connecting block.

This method combines the modulated IR signal at the con- necting block then distributes it to the four emitter ports. The power supply shown (846C) would only be required if the second IR receiver(s) needed it.

This method would also be used when connecting multiple CA systems together. The IR Link is only designed for two CA systems being that it conveys demodulated IR data between the systems.
