spaces. 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 80 feet away*.

FEATURES

• Wire channel for clean installation.

• System testing red-talk-back LED.

• Includes 789-44 connecting block, power supply, and four 283D emitters

for easy system installation.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Infrared carrier frequency bandwidth: 25 - 60 kHz.

• Reception range: Up to 80 feet.*

• Reception angle: +/- 60 degrees.

• Cable requirements: See “INSTALLATION” below.

• Max. Transmission length: 1 mile using 18 gauge wire.

• Drives IR emitters through Xantech Connecting Blocks, Controllers, etc.

• Dimensions: 2.55” x 0.55” x 0.35” (65mm x 14mm x 9mm).

• Power requirements: +12VDC, 10mA.

* Depending on remote control output strength and ambient conditions.

MOUNTING

The IR receiver can be mounted to any flat surface, using the two-sided

adhesive tape supplied.

An additional feature is a wire channel on the rear of the surface mount IR

INSTALLATION QUICK-START A typical system will use an IR receiver, several emitters, and a power supply all connected to a connecting block. The 3-conductor inter-room 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.

LOCAL SYSTEM APPLICATION Another application is to locate the IR receiver in a central location, such as the TV, video screen and/or a speaker. The audio/video equipment can then be hidden inside a cabinet or located away from the front of a room. This will give the end-user the ability to direct a remote control to one central location and not have to worry about aiming to the respective device to be controlled.

IR Troubleshooting Guide NOTE: Due to the many variables in a given installation, the troubleshooting countermeasures you will have to take may vary from job to job. Each installation is different due to the number of IR receivers in use, length of wire runs, type of wire, amount of ambient IR noise present, etc…. Therefore, your countermeasures for a particular job will range from nothing at all, to any combination of the solutions listed below.

Symptom #3: TB LED on IR Receiver (and/or Emitters) on solid Cause: 1. Plasma Interference Solution Use a 85 or 95 series Plasma 'Friendly' Receiver. If already using a this unit, please note the Plasma interference can be reflected off of any item it comes into contact with within approx. 3ft. From the front of the display. Keeping this in mind, make sure that the IR receiver is free from any obstruction that might reflect back into the receiving eye. Voltage and Ground wires are 2.

Symptom 6: Emitters function but some (or all) components do not respond. Cause: Solution Symptom #7: Absolutely No Functionality (How to determine which component is at fault) Component to Test Instructions Reposition the Emitter so that it is directly 1. Emitter placement is incorrect. over the components sensor window. Consult the components owners’ manual of the unit for the exact location of the IR Sensor Window. Reposition the Emitter to a position that is suitable for the unit.
