857 CONNECTIONS

Power: Connect a 12 VDC 200 mA to 1A power supply to the power jack.

2.1mm + Tip – sleeve. The red LED will be illuminated when powered. This

will power all of the IR components connected to the system. Depending on the type of components and the number of components will determine how much current the power supply will need to provide.

Status Power: 12VDC 200mA 2.1mm + tip –sleeve. Connecting a power supply to this connection will power the status connection. The green LED will be illuminated when powered. This can be from a 12 volt trigger output or from a wall type power supply plugged into a switched outlet of a stereo receiver. If you are using products like the 858 that have a status indicator, simply plug a 12 VDC power supply into the switched outlet and when the receiver is turned on the status LED will be illuminated.

IR Common In: This is a two terminal 1/8” plug. Signal is tip, ground sleeve. This can be connected the IR output of a stereo receiver or the common IR output of an audio distribution system.

System Connection: Connect the IR system to the detachable connector labled +12VDC, GND, STATUS and SIGNAL.

Emitter Outputs: Connect up to 6 emitters to the emitter jacks labeled 1-6. Place the emitters on the source equipment.
