Draper IntelliFlex Installation Instructions

➀ The IR Receiver Eye must connect to an "Eye" Jack on an SC1 or
Splitter. If it connects to a Splitter, then the Main Jack of the Splitter
must connect to the "Eye" Jack of an SC1.
➁ Main Jack on splitters connects to Eye Jack on SC1.
➂ Any Aux Jack can be connected to any Aux or Eye Jack.
➃ Never connect any two Eye Jacks together.
➄ For IR commands to work, or for remote programming, there must be
at least one Eye connected to one of the Eye Jacks.
Installing the IR Eye
The IR Eye must connect to an Eye Jack on an SC1 (see Fig. 1) or
Splitter. If the eye connects to a Splitter, then the Main Jack of the Splitter
must connect to the Eye Jack of an SC1. The IR Eye is line-of-sight: It must be
visible to "see" the infrared signal from the transmitter.

The combined length of ALL cables in the system (Eye to SC1, plus SC1
to SC1, plus Splitter to SC1, plus Eye to Splitter, plus Splitter to Splitter) can
be up to 100 feet per SC1 without problems. The Repeater/Timer Interface
with built-in IR fi lter (Part # C072.026) can be used if additional length is
needed. Contact Draper for further information.
If the cable length is too long, some units may operate sporadically
where the motor pulses on and off. Some units may not operate at all, or may
operate intermittently.
Similar symptoms can come from interference in the room. Sunlight is
a very strong infrared source. Try to place the sensor out of direct or bright
refl ected sunlight. The Repeater/Timer Interface with built-in IR fi lter (Part #
C072.026) can be used to help solve this problem.
Sunlight will also reduce your effective range. Expected line-of-sight
range with no interference is at least 50 feet, usually as much as 100 feet.
Electronically ballasted fl uorescent lighting and Halogen lights can cause
similar trouble.
None of the wires associated with the IR sensor should be run next to
power lines. And all wires should be kept at least 18" away if run parallel to
a power line. If they must go near power lines, they should cross at a right
angle. They may need to be shielded if running near very noisy power lines.
One eye can be connected to multiple boards by "daisy-chaining" SC1s
together, or using a Splitter. Never use a standard telephone splitter for
this connection. Larger splitters are available—contact Draper for more
information. All connections are made with standard "telephone" type cord,
but connectors are "fl ipped" so a standard phone cable will not work. See
"A Note on Wiring" on page 2. The installer will need a 6P4C telephone plug
crimping tool, with 6P4C plugs, and silver satin 4 conductor phone wire (all
are available from Draper). 6P6C plugs will also work, as will 6 conductor wire
with these plugs.
When connected together, all receivers must be powered for any of them
to work. Any unit that is not powered will "short out" the IR signal. Manual

inputs will work but the IR will not.
If a splitter is not available, the wiring can be done manually. Assuming
the yellow wire is on the right of the plug with the cable toward you and the
"fl ipper" away from you (this is how all SC1s are wired), then:
➀ The black wire is common or "ground" (not AC or earth ground) which is
the same as the common pin on the 3 wide screw terminal for manual
switch. Connect all black wires together.
➁ The yellow wire (sometimes white) is the demodulated IR signal. This line
is normally about 5 volts (pulled high by a resistor on the SC1). Connect
all these wires together.
➂ The red wire is 5 Volt power. Do not connect 5 volt lines of multiple
receivers together. Connect the red wire from any one receiver to the red
wire from the eye or the accessory unit.
➃ All green wires are unused and should be cut off and isolated from each
other.
➄ Make sure that none of the wires "fl ip"—i.e., yellow is always on the right.
Multiple eyes allow operation from more than 1 room, or to cover the room
more completely.
Operation from multiple rooms can also be done using standard IR
repeater systems, such as X-10 Powermid
repeaters such as a remote extender or Leapfrog
When using a Xantech IR repeater system, do not attempt to run the
signal directly from the connecting block into the SC1. Simply place an emitter
near one of the IR Eyes.
