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 120 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. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DL95K Dinky Link™ Surface Mount Extended Range Plasma\LCD\LED\CFL Friendly IR Receiver SPECIFICATIONS • Infrared carrier frequency bandwidth: 25 - 60 kHz. • Reception range: Up to 120 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. * Depending on remote control output strength and ambient conditions. 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. 1 INSTALLATION QUICK-START A typical system will use an IR receiver, several emitters, and a power supply all connected to a connecting block. 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. DL Series IR Receiver STATUS IR IN 283D Emitter A/V Receiver EMITTERS GND ® 789-44 CONNECTING BLOCK 12VD C +12 VDC STATUS IR IN GND 3-Terminal Block (not included) 3-Conductor Inter-room Cable (unshielded OK) REMOTE 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. IR RCVR MAIN ROOM (mounted on or near cabinet in an inconspicuous location). 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 3conductor inter-room cable in between. 2 283D Emitter MAIN ROOM 283D Emitter Hand Held Remote IR Photodiode 283D Emitter A/V Receiver DVD Connecting Block Red Talkback LED GND ® 283D Emitter 789-44 +12 VDC IR OUT +12V 7' Ribbon Cable DVD Connecting Block EMITTERS DL Series IR Receiver Red (or white) Stripe 283D Emitter 789-44 Hand Hel d Remote 789-44 CONNECTING BLOCK Satellite Receiver To 120 V AC (unswitched) Red Talkback LED IR RCVR 781ERGPS Satellite Receiver To 120 V AC (unswitched) 12VD C 1.

The ‘yellow’ connector is installed to the ‘yellow’ plug. 3. Connect the power supply to the connecting block. 781ERGPS IR Photodiode 3 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. 791-44 DL Series Amplified Connecting Block IR Receiver Satellite Receiver Emitter HIGH IR OUT Red Talkback L ED 1. 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, equipment can now be concealed for clean room design. In addition, a centralized IR receiver means there is only one IR target resulting in improved remote control interaction. Featuring color-coded connectors, a Xantech IR Kit is now an easy to install, and allows a worry-free installation.

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.

Defective emitter. Replace Emitter Relatively high levels of ambient noise. This can be due to any of 3. the following: Sunlight, florescent Lighting or Plasma Displays. In this case use either a SUN filter (SUNKIT), or any of our ‘Plasma/CFL Friendly’ IR Receivers (DL85/95, HL85/95, ML85/95, WL85/95). These can also be used in direct sunlight and in the presence of ‘tube style’ fluorescent lighting. EMI induced noise. This can be due to light dimmer controls or 4. other radiating electronic devices (PC’s or any poorly shielded electronic device). Reposition IR Receiver and/or cabling away from emitting device. You can also place a 470Ohm resistor in parallel with the IR Signal and GND connections on the connecting block. This will also help alleviate any stray capacitance in the cable. 5. Plasma Interference Use an 85 or 95 series Plasma 'Friendly' IR Receiver. If already using a 85 or 95 unit, please note the Plasma interference can be reflected off of any item it comes into contact with within approx. 3ft. From the front of the display. Keeping this in mind, make sure that the IR receiver is free from any obstruction that might reflect back into the receiving eye.

Verify supply is a 12VDC regulated supply reading between 11.5 to 13VDC under load. Long Wire Runs – shielded wire typically of 100 feet (30 meters) or longer causes a filter effect 3. due to accumulated capacitance of the wire. Intermittent, or no IR control, could actually be because of the longer wire runs. 10 Solution Use a 85 or 95 series Plasma 'Friendly' Receiver Putting a 470-ohm resistor in parallel at the connecting block between signal and ground will effectively discharge the capacitance of the wire. This will allow the signal to travel farther on shielded wire. Adding a resistor between the input and ground of the connecting block will drop the IR level down somewhat. Passive connecting blocks, such as the 789-44, may not have enough signal output for consistent control of the equipment. You may have to upgrade to an amplified connecting block to bring the IR level back to normal. In these cases, the 791-44 would be an ideal connecting block for single zone systems while the 795-20 would work best for a 2-4 zone system. 11 Symptom 6: Emitters function but some (or all) components do not respond. Cause: Solution Symptom #7: Absolutely No Functionality (How to determine which component is at fault) Component to Test Instructions Reposition the Emitter so that it is directly 1. Emitter placement is incorrect. over the components sensor window. Consult the components owners’ manual of the unit for the exact location of the IR Sensor Window. Reposition the Emitter to a position that is suitable for the unit. Use a 283 or 286D Blink style emitter (they have a lower output than non-blink emitters 282 and 284M). If the components do not need to be controlled Emitter placement is correct directly without an IR Repeater system (components are located in an equipment but the signal is overpowering closet), place a Mouse Emitter Shield cover 2. the unit or there is bleedover the Emitter (PN#MS1). The rounded through from other emitters (non-stick) side of the emitter is a hi-output close by. side and can reflect off other devices and overpower some components IR Sensors. If using a CB12 connecting block, try a 789-44 connecting block. This has a series resistor at the output, which will limit current to the Emitter. With a Multimeter, measure the DC Voltage of the supply while it is connected to the Connecting Block. Put the Negative lead of the meter on the terminal marked GND and the Positive Lead on the terminal marked 12VDC (or V). You should get a reading between 11.5VDC and 13.0VDC. If not, remove the supply from the Connecting block and measure again 1. Verify Power Supply this time directly on the 2.5mm Coaxial plug. If it reads between 11.5VDC and 13VDC, power supply is most likely good. Reconnect to the Connecting Block and proceed to step 2. NOTE: In most cases this will indicate the supply is good but in some cases the supply can still be bad (i.e. reads good when not plugged in but may not be able to handle the current load of the system.) Remove the power supply from the connecting block and all Emitters from the output. Place a jumper wire Verify Emitter.
