"THE STRIP-IR" PARALLEL CONNECTING BLOCK
The CB18 provides a convenient way to parallel many wires onto a common 2,3 or 4 conductor bus. You
can easily connect many home run leads from multiple IR receivers to the input terminals of a Xantech
connecting block, or from Xantech 760-00 Match Maker™ room volume controls to the output terminals of
a main amplifier.

INSTALLATION
When connecting an IR receiver/
keypad system, begin by placing
the "VGGS" labels on each of the
terminal plugs as shown in Fig. 2 .
"V" stands for +12 Volts, "G" for
Gnd and "S" for Signal (IR OUT).
This will aid you in keeping track of
your connections.
Fig. 2 illustrates how the CB18 may
be used to connect 8 home runs
from IR receivers and keypads to
the input terminals of a 789-44 Con-
necting Block in a 9-room system.
