INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DESCRIPTION
The 480-95 is a Plasma Friendly version of the 480-00 series Dinky Link IR receivers. It is specifically
designed to have greater immunity to plasma infrared inference and to have exceptional IR reception
range. Besides showing great immunity to plasma emissions, the 480-95 (as well as all Xantech
Plasma-Friendly Receivers) work well in the presence of Sunlight and Fluorescent lighting. Their
wide-bandwidth reception allows them to be used with a much wider assortment of IR Controllable
products that the competition assuring the 'job will get done' the first time around without un-wanted
service calls.
These small IR receivers have been designed for mounting in very small spaces. They may be
mounted under shelf edges, cabinet ledges, in-wall speakers, etc. anywhere an inconspicuous
appearance is desired. The high sensitivity of these receivers allows placement behind speaker
grilles and still receive IR commands up to 20 feet away. If longer range is necessary, a 3/8-inch hole
must be drilled in the grilled to allow unobstructed entry of the IR signal.
FEATURES
Black, silver, and white color available.
Works in normal 3-wire mode (12VDC, IR, GND).
Red talkback LED for system verification.
Improved Fluorescent light rejection (under most conditions) and rejection from LCD
Displays.
Includes 3-Terminal Block for easy extension of 7 foot ribbon cable.
7 units may be powered by one 781RG power supply.
Normal Operating Power: +12VDC, 20mA.
Note: The 480-95 will not operate in 2-wire Phantom Power mode.

    Display with the front of the receiver flush with the front of the Display. If the 480-95 needs to be placed in front of the display (such as on an adjacent side wall perpendicular to the display), make sure it is placed at a location at least 45 degrees off axis from the corners of the unit.

  • Page 3: Sensitivity Adjustment

    Note: Plasma interference can be reflected off of any item it comes into contact with approx. 3 feet from the front of the display. Keeping this in mind, make sure that the 480-95 is free of any obstruction that might reflect back in to the receiving eye.

  • Page 4: Advanced Wiring Configuration

    ADVANCED WIRING CONFIGURATION 480-95 may also be used in conjunction with other Xantech IR Receivers by simply wiring in parallel on a Connecting Block such as the 791-44 Amplified Block as shown in the figure below. 1. Connect all IR Receivers in parallel at the terminals of the connecting block as shown in the figure below.
  • Page 5 Cause: Weak Batteries in Transmitting Remote. Bad Emitter or no emitter plugged into connecting block. Signal wire between IR Receiver and the Connecting Block is open. Power Supply not putting out proper voltage. Output from the IR receiver/connecting block is connected to a high impedance IR input jack on a component.
  • Page 6 Symptom #2: TB LED on IR Receiver (and/or Emitters) Dimly lit or flickering Cause: Signal and ground wires are reversed or shorted either at the connecting block or IR receiver. Defective emitter. Relatively high levels of ambient noise. This can be due to any of the following: Sunlight, florescent Lighting or Plasma Displays.
  • Page 7 Symptom #3: TB LED on IR Receiver (and/or Emitters) on solid Cause: Plasma Interference Voltage and Ground wires are reversed at the connecting block or IR Receiver Relatively high levels of ambient noise. This can be due to any of the following: Sunlight, florescent Lighting or Plasma Displays.
  • Page 8 Cause: There may be a short, such as a staple driven through the Signal and GND wires of the IR Receiver and/or the emitter. Emitter may be shorted internally (XTRALINK Only) TV on same splitter with no IR Receiver installed...
  • Page 9 Emitter placement is correct but the signal is overpowering the unit or there is bleed- through from other emitters close by. Using a CFL-Friendly IR Receiver (291-80, 480-80, or 780-80) and trying to control a unit with a carrier frequency greater then 40kHz (I.e.
