INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ACB1

ONE ZONE AMPLIFIED CONNECTING BLOCK

The Model ACB1 is an Amplified Connecting Block that permits up to 10 single or 10 dual emitters (or any combination thereof) to be driven directly at high or low power levels. The ACB1 interfaces all Sonance IR Receivers to the emitters along with a power supply in an infrared repeater system. A floating terminal is provided for "STATUS" line connections.

INSTALLATION

SPECIFICATIONS

•Inputs: 1 - Screw type 4-terminal plug-in.

1 - IR Receiver "IR RCVR" 3.5mm mini stereo jack.

•Outputs: 10 - Emitter ports (3.5mm mini mono jacks) parallel driven. 1 - High Level IR signal output port (3.5mm mini mono jack).

•Use of included jumpers connect either a 100 or a 470-Ohm resistor in series with each emitter output for high or low power operation.

•E1, E2, VE1 & VE2 Mini Emitters may be used in any combination.

•Power requirements: 12 volts DC. Uses PS1 or PS2 Power Supplies.

•2.1 mm coaxial power jack.

•Dimensions: 5 3/8" W x 3" D x 7/8" H.

Fig. 2 illustrates a typical installation of a ACB1 in an IR repeater system. A variety of Sonance IR Receivers and a keypad are shown. When configuring a system, please keep the following items in mind:

1.More IR receivers may be wired in parallel, in the same manner as shown, up to a maximum of twelve. More than twelve is not recommended because IR noise picked up by the many IR receivers may cause erratic operation and reduce remote control range.

2.Be sure to connect the +12V, Output and GND of each IR receiver and keypad to the respective +12VDC, INPUT and GND of the connecting block as shown.

3.Power Supply Requirements. You may combine many Sonance IR receivers, controllers and emitters in a system. Having sufficient power supply voltage and current available is critical for proper operation. Be sure to take the following factors into consideration:

a.The maximum current for proper operation from a PS1 Power Supply is 120 mA (milliamps).

b.The maximum current from a PS2 Power Supply is 1000 mA.

c.Most IR receivers draw 2 mA without signal and 10 mA with signal (check specs. on actual model).

d.Each emitter draws 5 mA in low power mode and 15 mA in high power mode.

e.When using combinations of these devices, add up their currents, then choose the power supply according to the maximum current capabilities as noted above!

f.To avoid current "hogging", never connect regulated supplies, such as the PS1 and PS2, in parallel!
