CB18

"THE STRIP-IR" PARALLEL CONNECTING BLOCK

The CB18 provides a convenient way to parallel many wires onto a common 2,3 or 4 conductor bus. You can easily connect many home run leads from multiple IR receivers to the input terminals of a Xantech connecting block, or from Xantech 760-00 Match Maker™ room volume controls to the output terminals of a main amplifier.

FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

•Nine 4-terminal plug-in connec- tors on a 4-conductor bus.

•One-in eight-out or eight-in one- out capability.

•Adhesive backed labels are in- cluded for attachment to the plug- in terminals so that IR or speaker lead connections can be easily identified.

•High current design allows ampli- fiers rated as high as 500 watts to be used with the CB18.

•Screw terminals handle wire sizes from 24 to 12 gauge.

•Dimensions: 11 1/4" x 1-1/4" x 1- 1/4".

INSTALLATION

When connecting an IR receiver/ keypad system, begin by placing the "VGGS" labels on each of the terminal plugs as shown in Fig. 2 . "V" stands for +12 Volts, "G" for Gnd and "S" for Signal (IR OUT). This will aid you in keeping track of your connections.

Fig. 2 illustrates how the CB18 may be used to connect 8 home runs from IR receivers and keypads to the input terminals of a 789-44 Con- necting Block in a 9-room system.
