WHO NEEDS AN INFRARED REPEATER SYSTEM?
Infrared repeater systems are most commonly used in A/V systems that distribute A/V signals throughout several rooms or locations in one building. In order to control the signal source equipment (VCR, CD, DVD, satellite reciever, etc.) via infrared remote control from each viewing location, an infrared repeater system is used to recieve the signal from the handheld remote and "repeat" it back to the source equipment. So for the added convenience of viewing AND controlling an entire A/V system in every viewing location of your home, an infrared repeater system is definitely the way to go!

SYSTEM MOUNTING REQUIREMENTS:
The IR-100 infrared connecting block is installed behind the A/V equipment to be controlled and near a 115-Vac outlet. The IR-100 connects all the control system repeaters. The IR-E1 flasher connects to the IR-100 and mounts on the IR window of equipment to be controlled.The DV9-500 matching system power supply (Item #182-310) plugs into a 115-VAC outlet and connects to the IR-100.

For best results check all lead lengths and mounting positions before permanently mounting any equipment.

PREWIRE RECOMMENDATIONS:
We recommend that you use a 2 twisted pair shielded low capacitance (< 20 pF per foot) cable.The systems power (V+) and signal (SIG) use one twisted pair. System ground (GND) can use both wires of the second twisted pair. The shield can be grounded in difficult installtions to improve performance by eliminating external noise interfernce.

For best results use 22 gauge cable for 1-100' runs; 20 gauge cable for 101-200' runs; and 18 gauge cable for runs greater than 200'. When running IR cable inside walls most states and municipalites specify that you must use a special type of cable that is fire rated such as CL-2 or CL-3. In order to avoid noise interference and code violations never install low voltage and 115-Vac components in the same electrical box.

CONNECTING MULTIPLE CONNECTING BLOCKS:
For large systems, requiring more than 4 flashers or more than 15 repeaters, click here for a diagram showing those options.
