INTRODUCTION
The 490-95 is designed to reject interference from Plasma Displays from entering the IR signal line. These Small IR
Receivers are intended to be mounted in panels, doors, cabinets, etc. for control of A/V equipment behind closed doors or
any IR Repeater System that is in close proximity of a Plasma or LCD Displays. Modeled after the original 490-90, the
490-95 offers the same features as its predecessor but in a smaller mounting frame.

Summary of Contents for Xantech 490-95

  • Page 1 INTRODUCTION The 490-95 is designed to reject interference from Plasma Displays from entering the IR signal line. These Small IR Receivers are intended to be mounted in panels, doors, cabinets, etc. for control of A/V equipment behind closed doors or any IR Repeater System that is in close proximity of a Plasma or LCD Displays.
  • Page 2 Note: Plasma interference can be reflected off of any item it comes into contact with within approx. 3 ft. from the front of the display. Keeping this in mind, make sure that the 490-95 is free of any obstruction that might reflect back into the receiving eye.
  • Page 3 ADVANCED WIRING CONFIGURATION 490-95 may also be used where the 7-foot lead is not long enough. In this case, simply use the CB12 Connecting Block as a “break-out” block. In Figure 4, a 490-95 is extended down to a 789-44 Connecting Block and combined with other Xantech IR Receivers.
  • Page 4 This will keep the proper load balance and prevent miscommunication with the Emitters on the 789-44 CB. 3.5MM MINI PLUG PINOUT There might be times when the 490-95 needs to be wired directly to a Terminal Block. In that case you will need to cut off the 3.5mm jack and wire according to Table 1.
