The IR Router provides a convenient means of interconnecting Proficient (and industry compatible) IR products
in IR repeating systems. It includes a wide bandwidth amplifier for robust operation. It has flasher drive power
capability and is reverse voltage protected.
FEATURES / SPECIFICATIONS (See Diagram 1)
1. Screw Terminal – Accepts wire sizes 14 to 28 AWG for connection
of the following:
• +12V DC – Powers connected IR Receivers, Keypads, etc.
• GND – Return for Power, IR signal and Status indicators
• ST OUT – Connects status voltage to Status Indicators
in IR Receivers, Keypads, etc.
• IR IN – Receives IR control signals from IR Receivers,
Keypads, etc.
2. Mounting Holes – Attaches the IR Router to any flat surface
using the two screws provided.
3. FLASHERS – Four 3.5mm jacks drive IR Flashers.
4. 12V DC REGULATED – 2.1mm jack, center pin +, accepts 12V DC
regulated power supplies to power the IR system. Calculate the
current required, then use either Proficient IR Power Supply–
200mA or 1.2A. Note: The "no signal" current draw of the IR
Router is zero.
5. STATUS IN 5-24V DC – 2.1mm jack, center pin +, accepts 5V through 24V DC power supplies to power
system ON/OFF Status Indicators of connected IR receivers, keypads, etc.
6. IR RCVR – Exclusive four-circuit 3.5mm jack provides connection for Proficient direct plug-in IR
Receivers. Connections are made, not only for Power, Signal and Ground, but for the Status Indicator in
the IR Receivers as well.
IR Parallel Block
The IR Router comes with an IR Parallel Block, which is a 4-conductor screw-
down terminal strip that permits the securing of the several leads coming from
the various IR receivers. A rule of thumb is to use it whenever you need to
connect more than two leads to each of the Screw Terminals of the IR Router.
(See Diagrams 2 & 4)
SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
The following are a few typical applications of the IR Router for IR repeater systems.
A Basic System

Plug in the IR Receiver and IR Flashers as shown. Note: Since the IR Router employs emitter current sharing, you may use any combination of Proficient IR Single or Dual Flashers in any combination you wish. 2. Plug in the IR Power Supply. 3. The IR Router system should now control the components. A Multi-Room System Diagram 4 is an example of a multi-room (not multi-zone) system.
