5.2 CONNECTING TO AN IR AUTOMATION SYSTEM/CONNECTING BLOCK
When connecting to an IR Automation System or connecting block, the 12V DC (Sleeve) must not be connected.
Connections of this type require the use of the included Stereo to Mono IR Adaptor or a custom-made cable. A mono
3.5mm cable should not be used as it will short out the 12 VDC to GND and will make the connection inoperable.
