• Color Cap bezels (included) snap on from the front. Provided in white, bone, almond, and
black. In addition, they can be painted to match any room color scheme.
• Dimensions:
IR Fish Eye Receiver (Diameter x Depth): 1/2" (12mm) x 25/8" (67mm).
Color Caps (Diameter): 3/4" (18.5mm)
SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
The following are a few typical applications of the IR Fish Eye Receiver in IR repeater systems.
A Basic System
Diagram 2 shows a basic plug-and-play installation, such as controlling components that are
behind closed cabinet doors or in a nearby closet.

Remote Control
IR Power
Supply
200mA
IR Router
To 120V AC
(unswitched)
1. Find an inconspicuous recessed cabinet panel or wall surface convenient for mounting the IR
Fish Eye Receiver. Be sure you have a direct "line-of-sight" path from the user's remote control
to the IR Fish Eye Receiver. Drill a 1/2" clearance hole.
2. Pass the lead and the IR Fish Eye Receiver through the hole and run the washer and nut up
from the rear for tightening. (See Diagram 2)
3. Prior to tightening the nut, press on the Color Cap of your choice on the front until it "snaps"
into place. Tighten the nut just sufficiently to draw the edge of the color cap flush with the
wall surface. Do not over tighten!
4. Plug the IR Fish Eye Receiver and IR Flashers into the Proficient IR Router, as shown.
5. Plug in the IR Power Supply.
6. The remote control, fired at the IR Fish Eye Receiver, should now control the components.
A Multi-Room System
Diagram 3 is an example of the IR Fish Eye Receiver in a multi-room system with other Proficient IR
receivers in various rooms, plus a local IR Fish Eye Receiver. These control the various components
in the main room or equipment area.
1. Pull 4-conductor wire from each room (home runs) to the IR Router near the controlled components.
Note: Use 24 gauge unshielded solid or stranded copper wire up to 1200' (Cat. 5e ok), 22
gauge up to 2000' , 20 gauge up to 3000' and 18 gauge up to 5300' . Total lengths include all
wire runs from each room added together, not just the longest single run. If using shielded
wire, these lengths would be reduced by approximately 30%.

2. Install the IR Fish Eye Receiver in wall or cabinet surfaces per steps 1-3 of the Basic System
section previous.
3. Connect IR receivers in each room to the 4-conductor home runs as shown, using the IR
Terminals supplied.
4. Connect the home run wires to the correct Screw Terminal on the IR Router. Note: You may
use the IR Parallel Block included with the IR Router to help connect the many paralleled
home run wires to the IR Router's Screw Terminal.
5. Install and plug the various IR Flashers into the IR Router.
6. Plug the local IR Fish Eye Receiver into the IR RCVR jack.
7. Plug in the IR Power Supply–200mA into the 12V DC Regulated jack.
8. A remote control, fired at the IR receivers, should now control the components.
Note: Refer to the Proficient IR Router Instructions for Power Supply considerations.
STATUS Brightness
Diagram 3 also shows how an external resistor can be added to reduce the brightness of the
Status LEDs on Proficient IR Receivers to any desired level.
In this example, an IR Power Supply–200mA is used as the voltage source to indicate the ON/
OFF status of an A/V Receiver.
Choose a resistor value that achieves the brightness you desire (about 2.2k to 12k, 1/8 W).
Connect it in series with the STATUS lead on each IR receiver desired, as shown.
