External IR Connection to MDK-C5 Keypad

The MDK-C5 keypad has an External IR Receiver In terminal for connecting an external IR Receiver such as the Russound 858, SaphIR 862 Eye, or SaphIR 860 Phantom.

Use 2 twisted pair wire with one pair connecting GND (GROUND) and IR (SIGNAL) and the other pair connecting ST (STATUS) and V+ (+12VDC). Do not connect the shield to the IR receiver terminals.

If utilizing an external IR receiver, then you must disable the IR receiver in the keypad. This is disabled in the installer options menu on the keypad. See screen at right.
