INSTALLATION
1. Test the operation of the IR-E1HO in the planned
10 feet of
mounting location. If all of the components
2-conductor
22 gauge operate correctly via the IR repeater system,
connecting wire proceed.
2. Make sure the mounting surface is clean.
3. Remove the protective coating from the self-
adhesive tape and attach the IR-E1HO to the
mounting surface.
4. Route the connecting two-conductor wire to the
3.5mm Plug
IR Connecting Block and plug it into an emitter
output.

5. Coil any excess wire and tie it in place.
6. On IR Connecting Blocks with selectable emitter
outputs make certain the HI-LOW SWITCH is
placed in the HI position. See figure 1

Increasing the Wire Length
If the connecting wire is too short to reach the IR
Connecting Blocks, an additional length of wire
may be spliced in to extend it. Cut the emitter wire
approximately six inches from the plug end, strip
off 1/4", and connect your additional wiring
between the ends of the original emitter wire. For
distances between 10 and 20 feet upgrade the
original wire to an 18 gauge 2-conductor wire. For
distances of up to 200 feet a 16 gauge two-
conductor wire should be used. Be sure to
observe proper polarity when extending the
emitter wire.
The wire lead marked with a gray stripe is positive
(+); the unmarked lead is negative (-).
Mounting the IR-E1HO
Test the operation of the IR-E1HO in the planned
mounting location. If all of the components operate
correctly via the IR Repeater system, mount the IR-
E1HO using its self-adhesive strip. Make sure the
mounting surface is clean and dry. Remove the
protective coating from the back of the strip
attached to the IR-E1HO and stick it in place. Coil
any excess connecting wire and tie it in place.

IR Connecting
Block Power Supply
Check that the red power light on the IR
Connecting Block is lit (the in-line power supply
should be plugged into an active AC wall outlet
and supplying 12V DC).
IR Saturation
Sometimes a high output emitter can saturate the
IR receiving window of a component. When this
occurs, the IR command will not be executed.
This can occur on an intermittent basis when
there is a Plasma TV in the system.
Solution:
1. Turn off the Plasma TV, because this may be
contributing to the problem.
2. Replace the IR-E1HO Emitter with IR-E1 and
IR-E2 Emitters
3. Relocate the IR Emitter approximately 1/2"
away from the IR Receiving window of the
component, which isn't responding to IR
commands. Some experimentation will be
required to determine the best location
for emitter.
4. Test system. Do not use an IR Blocking Cover if
the component is sensitive to IR saturation.
