Page 3: Installation
INSTALLATION QUICK-START A typical system will use an IR receiver, several emitters, and a power supply all connected to a connecting block. 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. - Page 4 REMOTE ROOM APPLICATION One application is to locate the IR receiver in a remote room. This will give the DL Series 781ERGPS end-user the ability to control audio/video equipment from a location where the Satellite Receiver IR Receiver IR Photodiode remote control no longer has the ability of direct line-of-sight.

This eliminates the need to cut off the plug and strip and tin the leads for certain applications.
- Page 6 7-foot cable. The 3.5mm stereo type mini plug is connected to the “IR RCVR” jack on the Xantech Connecting Block. PLACEMENT The IR receiver should be located so that it is not directly facing a light source such as lamps or displays (standard, LCD, and Plasma).
