7.
As an option, use the PTP-1 Plug to Plug Jumper Cable to connect a Flasher OUT on
the IR Router to a device with a 3.5mm mini IR IN jack. If it doesn't work, use an IR
Flasher for IR control.
8.
Connect the IR Power Supply to the "12VDC Regulated" jack on the IR Router.
Connect the Power Supply to an UNSWITCHED AC outlet.
9.
To test, point an IR Remote at the Proficient One IR Receiver. Press a specific function
button on the remote (Cable/Satellite ON/OFF for example). All connected Flashers
should flash red, and the selected component should respond to the command
(Cable/Satellite ON/OFF).
If any of that didn't happen, check IR system connections and try again. If the system
still hasn't responded, check the Troubleshooting section at the end of this manual.
EXTENDING THE RECEIVER WIRE
In some applications it may be necessary to extend the IR Receiver wire. Typical examples
would be if the IR Receiver is going to be located across the room from the IR Router and
A/V components or if the IR Receiver is going to be located in a remote room. This will
give the user the ability to control IR controlled audio/video components from a location
where the remote control no longer has direct line-of-sight to the equipment.
To extend the IR Receiver wire, use the included BOT-1.0 IR Terminal as shown in Diagram
17 or the IR Parallel Block as shown in Diagram 18. Use unshielded, 3-conductor
stranded wire as detailed in the Wire Length/Gauge Table on the next page.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT EXTEND THE WIRE LENGTH BETWEEN THE IR RECEIVER
AND THE ELECTRONICS MODULE. THIS WILL REDUCE THE SENSITIVITY OF THE IR
RECEIVER AND VOID THE WARRANTY. IF IT IS NECESSARY TO EXTEND THE WIRE LENGTH
TO THE IR ROUTER WITHOUT USING THE BOT-1.0 IR TERMINAL, EXTEND THE WIRE THAT
RUNS BETWEEN THE ELECTRONICS MODULE AND 3.5MM MINI PLUG (DIAGRAM 15).
SEE DIAGRAM 16 FOR THE WIRE PIN-OUT OF THE RECEIVER WIRE. USE THE IR PARALLEL
BLOCK TO MAKE CONNECTIONS AS SHOWN IN DIAGRAM 18.
