1. 12V DC Jack – Provides 12Volt DC power to
IR-CB2 via a regulated power supply.
2. IR Emitter Outputs – 3.5mm jacks provide output for
either single or dual low-level flashers.
3. 3-30V AC/DC Status – 3.5mm jack provides
system status to sensors/keypads via a 12V power
supply attached to a switched outlet on the system
receiver or a 12V trigger output.
4. 12V Output – When 12V DC is detected at the
status jack (#3) the 12V output jack will output
12V/200mA DC. This is useful for triggering external
devices and system automation.
5. Status/IR Confirmation LED – This LED performs
two functions: (1) it provides a visible indication of
system status via a green LED and (2) confirms the
reception of IR data via a blinking blue LED.
6. Emitter Hi/Low switch – Setting these switches to
the appropriate position allows you to connect
either a high-output flooding emitter (IR-E1HO)
or low-output emitter. There is one Hi/Low switch
for emitter port four and one Hi/Low switch for
emitter port five.
7. Sensor Inputs – Removable quick connect sensor
plug for connection of IR sensors to the system.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
The IR Receiver cables, emitter cables and the 12V
DC power supply cable must all reach the proposed
location of the IR-CB2 Connecting Block. Mark the
cables with wire labels, describing where the cables
originate from, rather than where they will terminate.
Locate a local un-switched AC outlet to be used to
power the IR-CB2 power supply.
Tools Required
n 1/8" Slotted screwdriver
n Wire labels
n Wire stripper
