Beelink Basics - One Remote BEE2 User Manual

beeLINK basics

The IR data emitted from a Bang & Olufsen remote control, is captured with a IR-
receiver. If there is already one IR-receiver in the room, this can also be used to feed
the BeeLINK bus. Normally there is no need for two IR receivers in the same room.
Data received by the IR-receiver is fed to a OneRemote Link Amplifier with built-in
power supply and 5 outputs for beeLINK devices.
If there is more than 5 beeLINK devices in the setup, splitters can be added.
The BeeLINK bus distributes the IR-data, received with the attached IR-receiver from
a Beolink 1000, Beo4 or Beo5 to any number of beeLINK controllers. It also supplies
the attached controllers with power.
The cable used between the link amplifier and the controllers is simple CAT5 type ca-
ble with RJ45 plugs. This type of cable is inexpensive and a standard cable that any
installer are familiar with. Also it is well suited for data transmission. Finally many
modern house installations use the same connectors, making installation even easier.
Note !
A BeeLINK bus must ONLY be connected to other beeLINK components.
If connected to LAN or other systems, there is a great risk to damage these systems.
