Connecting an IR Sensor

Powering On the System

© Polycom, Inc.
If you install a VSX 8000 system out of the range of the remote control (for example,
in a separate equipment room), you may wish to connect an external infrared (IR)
sensor and place it in the conference room. This allows you to control the system
without pointing the remote at the main camera.
The VSX 8000 system is compatible with the following IR sensors:
❑
Xantech® 480-00
❑
Xantech 490-90
❑
Xantech 780-80
❑
Xantech 780-90
The VSX 8000 system is not compatible with the external IR sensor for the VS4000 system.
To connect an infrared sensor to a VSX 8000 system:
>> Connect the sensor's cable to the infrared sensor input to the left of the POTS
(analog phone line) connector.
The VSX 3000 and VSX 6000 systems have external power supplies.
Do not use any power supply other than the one supplied with your VSX system. Using the
wrong power supply will void the warranty and may damage your system.
The VSX 7000 system comes with a separate subwoofer. Power to the system is
supplied through the subwoofer.
