Knoll IR55 Installation Manual

Typical IR Repeater System
IR21b
Note: IR21a's and
other IR receivers
are wired in parallel.
Maximum 10 per
IR21b
system.
Note: When using more than 150 foot lengths of
shielded cable (total) to connect IR receivers to the
IR55, it may be necessary to add a 470 ohm 1/4 watt
5% resistor between the IR55 "GND" and "IR OUT"
terminals. This resistor discharges cable capacitance.

Installation Tips:
1. Follow all local electrical & building code
requirements.
2. The IR55 is usually positioned behind the
stereo components it is helping to control.
3. Connect all of the infrared receivers in parallel
to the IR55 blue three terminal connector as
shown in the diagram. Wires can be solid or
stranded, shielded or unshielded with a minimum
of 24 gauge for runs under 200', 22 gauge for
runs under 500' and 20 gauge for runs up to
1000'. Wires can be looped from IR21a to IR21a
or home run. Home runs generally offer more
reliability and future flexibility.
4. Connect the emitters by inserting their plugs
into any available IR55 emitter jack. Up to four
single emitter or double emitters (maximum eight
emitters) can be connected to a single IR55. If
more emitter connections are required, call Knöll
for amplified connection block information.

5. Lastly plug the PS1202 or PS1205
power supply into the IR55 and test the
whole system.
