4.2 Connections
The IR Module is the main component that connects IR Receivers, the power adapter
and IR Extender Cables to one another. All of the IR Module connections are now
explained so that you can get the most out of all of the options available.
4.2.1
IR Input
IR RCVR: standard IR input
(3.5mm jack) for the enclosed
IR Receiver
SCREW TERMINAL: IR input
for connecting up to 6 IR
Receivers in parallel.
+12VDC: Red
GND: Black
STATUS: Yellow
IR DATA: White
4.2.2
POWER Input
12VDC: Power adapter for the IR Module (enclosed), 5VDC/200mA
STATUS: Power adapter for the status signal (not enclosed), 5-24VDC or 5-12VAC
4.2.3
IR Output
1 – 4: four mini jack outputs for connecting the IR extension cables.
EMITTER / BLASTER: every output can be switched separately for connecting blaster
or emitter LEDs.
4.3 Installation
In order to check that the system works correctly, it is advisable to first test the set-up
you had in mind. To do so, connect everything as described below but do not stick the
components securely.
4.3.1
Locating the IR Receiver
Place the very small IR Receiver in a way that it is visible for your (infrared) remote
control and it can receive the sent commands (max. 10 meters).
The most logical location for the IR receiver is, for example, on the cabinet in
which the A/V equipment is located or near the TV.
You can run the cable underneath or behind, using the notch at the back of the IR
receiver housing; this allows the cable to be hidden easily.
Use the self-adhesive strip which is supplied to locate the IR receiver just about
anywhere you please.
Experiment with the location before you stick the IR receiver in its final position.
Note! The sticky strip may lead to discolouration or leave glue residues on certain
surfaces.
