480-80

CFL FRIENDLY DINKY LINKTM IR RECEIVER

The 480-80 is a CFL (compact fluorescent light) friendly version of the 480-00 series Dinky Link IR receivers. It is specifically designed to have great immunity to CFL-type infrared interference and to have exceptional IR reception range. In addition, the 480-80 will operate in direct sunlight! They may be mounted under shelf edges, cabinet ledges, in wall speakers, etc. - anywhere an inconspicuous appearance is desired. The high sensitivity of these receivers allows placement behind speaker grilles and still receive IR commands up to 30 feet away. If longer range is necessary, 3/8-inch holes must be drilled in the grille to allow unobstructed entry of the IR signal to each of the IR receiver windows. There are two variations of this model as follows:

480B-80 Standard version, with black case. Has 7-foot 3-conductor ribbon cable with stripped and tinned ends.

480W-80 Same as the 480B-80 except with white case.

Maximum cable length: One mile with 18 gauge.

Drives IR Emitters through Xantech Connecting Blocks, Controllers, etc.

Dimensions: 7/16" x 5/16" x 2-5/16".

SUN480 Sunscreen filters available separately. Order these to help with IR interference. They fit easily over the two photodiode openings

INSTALLATION

The 480-80is intended to be wired to the input terminals of Xantech Connecting Blocks or other devices, using the supplied 3-terminal block in the remote room location. A 3-conductor cable (24 gauge up to 200', 22 gauge up to 600', 20 gauge up to 2000', 18 gauge up to 5000'), is run to the main room. Connections are then made to a Xantech connecting block, power supply and emitters as shown in the illustration of a typical basic system on the next page.
