COnneCtInG Ir emItters tO OutPut POrts
The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8 are compatible with industry
standard infrared emitters and infrared repeating systems. Each output
port is capable of driving up to four infrared emitters directly. The use
of more than four infrared emitters requires the addition of an amplified
connecting block. A connecting block can be wired up to 1000 feet away
from the XP-8 using #22 AWG (minimum) wire.
For the most reliable connection to the XP-8 mPIO ports, make sure
to use the included Ir emitter adapter cables.
COnneCtInG POWer sensOr mOdules (VPs-1 / sPs-1)
The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8 are compatible with RTI power
sensing modules (e.g. VPS-1 and SPS-1). Follow the guide included with
the modules for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the
Integration Designer™ software guide for programming details. Do not use
IR emitter adapter cables.
COnneCtInG COmmunICAtIOn mOdules (Cm-232)
The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8 are compatible with RTI
communication modules (e.g. CM-232). Follow the guide included with
the modules for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the
Integration Designer™ software guide for programming details. Do not use
IR emitter adapter cables.

AdJustInG Ir OutPut GAIn

The IR output gain can be separately adjusted for each of the eight output
ports. The XP-8 is shipped with the IR gain set to the optimum level for
most equipment, and it should only need to be adjusted if the attached
equipment is not responding reliably.
If adjustment is needed, rotate the IR output controls on the front of the
XP-8 clockwise for higher output power, or counter-clockwise for lower
output power.
