The AT-HDR-EX-100CE-KIT provides both an RS-232 and IR port. RS-232 pass-through is
supported, allowing a control system to be connected to either the transmitter or receiver.
Connect the included IR emitter to the transmitter and an IR extender (not included) to the
receiver. Both IR and RS-232 connections are optional.
1. Use wire strippers to remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) of the cable jacket for both the RS-232
and IR emitter.
2. Insert the wires as shown into the included 5-pin captive screw connector.
