adjacent cabinet wall or door a short distance from the unit's sensor. Another instance is when you place an emitter inside the device, but cannot place it close to the IR sensor. In such cases, you may need the extra power of the high power mode to blast through printed circuit boards or around chassis structures. In addition, when using the lower output VE1 and VE2 Blink IR's, you may need the high power mode for some devices that have less sensitive IR sensors.

3.The resistors also provide current sharing to each emitter and allow the use of dual emit- ters in combination with single emitters. You may, therefore, connect any combination of emitter models E1, VE1, E2 & VE2 in the same system, as illustrated in Fig. 2, to drive the desired number of devices.

When using less than 10 of the emitter ports, you may plug into any of them without regard to order.
