xantech DL85K Dinky Link Surface Mount Plasma Friendly IR Receiver
DESCRIPTION
These small IR receivers have been designed for mounting in very small spaces. They may be mounted under shelf edges, cabinet ledges, in wall speakers, etc. – anywhere an inconspicuous appearance is desired. The high sensitivity of these receivers allows placement behind speaker grilles and still receive IR commands up to 80 feet away”.
FEATURES
Wire channel for clean installation. System testing red-talk-back LED. Includes 789-44 connecting block, power supply, and four 283D emitters for easy system installation.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Infrared carrier frequency bandwidth: 25 – 60 kHz.
- Reception range: Up to 80 feet.”
- Reception angle: +/- 60 degrees.
- Cable requirements: See “INSTALLATION” below.
- Max. Transmission length: 1 mile using 18 gauge wire.
- Maximum current output: 100mA.
- Drives IR emitters thrOugh Xantech Connecting Blocks, Controllers, etc.
- Dimensions: 2.55″ x 0.55″ x 0.35″ (65mm x 14mm x 9mm).
- Power requirements: +12VDC, 10mA.
MOUNTING
The IR receiver can be mounted to any flat surface, using the two-sided
adhesive tape supplied.
An additional feature is a wire channel on the rear of the surface mount IR
receiver. This will give the installer the ability to provide clean wire
dressing in any direction.
INSTALLATION
QUICK-START
A typical system will use an IR receiver, several emitters, and a power supply
all connected to a connecting block.
-
Connect the IR receiver to the “IR RCVR” port on the connecting block. The ‘red’ connector is installed to the ‘red’ plug.
Note : In some extended distances, additional 3-conductor may be required and can be connected to the terminals on the connecting block. -
Connect the Emitters to the connecting block. The ‘yellow’ connector is installed to the yellow’ plug.
-
Connect the power supply to the connecting block.
REMOTE ROOM APPLICATION
One application is to locate the IR receiver in a remote room. This will give
the end-user the ability to control audio/video equipment from a location
where the remote control no longer has the ability of direct line-of-sight.
The IR receiver will need the 3.5mm stereo type mini plug removed to extend
the wire run to the connecting block. A 3-terminal block can be purchased
separately to connect the IR receiver to the connecting block with a 3-
conductor inter-room cable in between.
The 3-conductor inter-room cable (24 gauge up to 200, 22 gauge up to 600, 20
gauge up to 2000, 18 gauge up to 5000), is run to the main
room.
Input connections
must be made as illustrated. To extend the emitter wires to a more distant
location, you may splice in 2-conductor wire, in the wire gauges mentioned
before, as needed. While it is possible to make wired connections without the
connecting block, it is not recommended. The connecting block reduces
installation time, helps to eliminate errors, allows easy troubleshooting and
permits easy system upgrades later, if needed.
LOCAL SYSTEM APPLICATION
Another application is to locate the IR receiver in a central location, such
as the TV, Video screen and/or a speaker. The audio/video equipment can then
be hidden inside a cabinet or located away from the front of a room. This will
give the end-user the ability to direct a remote control to one central
location and not have to worry about aiming to the respective device to be
controlled.
The IR
receiver is in close proximity to the audio/vide0 equipment, no wiring
extension should be required so long as the connecting block is within reach
of the 7-foot cable. The 3.5mm stereo type mini plug is connected to the “IR
RCVR” jack on the Xantech Connecting Block.
PLACEMENT
The IR receiver should be located so that it is not directly facing a light
source such as lamps or displays (standard, LCD, and Plasma). When mounted
near a display, it should be flush to the display and away from light
reflections that may occur.
Dinky-Link (DL) IR Receiver Kit
DESCRIPTION
The DL Series Kit comes with everything needed for a complete IR repeater
system. With a Xantech IR Kit, the equipment can now be concealed for clean
target resulting in improved remote control interaction. Featuring a color-
coded room design. In addition, a centralized IR receiver means there is only
one IR connector, a Xantech IR Kit is now easy to install and allows a worry-
free installation.
INCLUDED ITEMS
ITEM A: (1) DL Series IR Receiver
ITEM B: (1) 784-44 Connecting Block
ITEM C: (4) 283D Designer Emitters
ITEM D: (1) 781ERGPS Power Supply
STEP 1:
Plug in the 2.1mm Coaxial power plug of the 781ERGPS Power Supply (ITEM D)
into the jack labeled 12VDC on the 789-44 Connecting Block (ITEMB). Plug the
AC end of the 781ERGPS Power Supply (ITEM D) into a ‘un- Switched’ 120V AC
Line outlet.
STEP 2:
Connect the 3.5mm stereo mini plug from the 481D IR Receiver (/TEMA) to the IR
RCVR’ input located on the 789-44 Connecting Block (ITEM B). The RED connector
connects to the RED receptacle.
STEP 3
Plug in the 283D Designer Emitters 3.5mm mono mini plug (/TEM C) into the
jacks labeled EMITTERS on the 789-44 (TEM B) and affix the opposite end to the
IR Sensor Window of the controlled equipment. Extra double-sided adhesive tape
is included.
The YELLoW connector connects to the YELLOW receptacle.
IR Troubleshooting Guide
NOTE: Due to the many variables in a given installation, the troubleshooting countermeasures you will have to take may vary from job to job. Each installation is different due to the number of IR receivers in use, length of wire runs, type of wire, amount of ambient IR noise present, etc… Therefore, your countermeasures for a particular job will range from nothing at all, to any combination of the solutions listed below.
IR Receivers: Model ##’s DL, HL, ML, and WL series
