INSTALLATION
QUICK-START
A typical system will use an IR receiver, several emitters, and a power supply
all connected to a connecting block.
1. Connect the IR receiver to the “IR RCVR” port on the connecting block.
The ‘red’ connector is installed to the ‘red’ plug.
Note: In some extended distances, additional 3-conductor may be required and can be
connected to the terminals on the connecting block.
2. Connect the Emitters to the connecting block. The ‘yellow’ connector is
installed to the ‘yellow’ plug.
3. Connect the power supply to the connecting block.
4. Installation complete
LOCAL SYSTEM APPLICATION
In this system a 286D Dual Blink-IR Designer Emitter is shown connected to
the “OUT” jack of the 789-44. A single emitter could also be used, such as the
model 282D or 283D. If expansion beyond four emitters is required, use a
Xantech 791-44 Connecting Block in place of the 789-44.

CABLE CONNECTIONS
The HL series may also be used where the 7-foot cable is not long enough.
Simply cut off the mini plug, strip the leads and splice them to a 3-conductor
extension cable with a terminal block or other means. Then connect the
extension cable to the 3-terminal block on a CB12 or a 789-44 as shown in the
figure below.

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.
While it is possible to make wired connections without the connecting block, it is
not recommended. The connecting block reduces installation time, helps to
eliminate errors, allows easy troubleshooting and permits easy system
upgrades later, if needed.
