PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The 858P Plasma In-Wall IR Receiver receives IR signals from a handheld IR
remote control and relays these signals to the audio/video equipment for
operation from another room. Mounts to a single gang J-Box using a
Decora
®
cover plate.
FEATURES
• Plasma-friendly - can be placed near plasma TVs and displays.
• CFL-friendly - allows installations in areas with compact fluorescent
lighting. Works in most lighting environments.
• Stylish Decora
®
design. Available in white, almond, bone, black or brown.
• Dual color LED. Green for system status and blue for talkback.
• Ultra thin design. Mounts easily in any J-box or P-ring.
• Wide band IR. Receives IR from many types of remotes.
WIRE CONNECTIONS - SHIELDED CABLE
The 858P Plasma In-Wall can be connected to the 857 connecting block
using shielded 2-twisted pair wire (AW2260AB). Use one pair to connect
GND (GROUND) and IR (SIGNAL). Use the other pair to connect ST (STATUS)
and V+ (+12VDC). Connect the shield or drain to the ground at the connect-
ing block ONLY, leaving the shield or drain disconnected at the 858P.
Connecting in this method will help reduce induced noise. See Figure 1 for
detail of these connections.

Plug the power supply into the switched outlet on the stereo receiver. When
the receiver is on, the power supply will turn on the system status line and
illuminate the LED Green of the 858P Plasma In-Wall. The status line can be
turned on or off by setting the jumper on back of the 858P Plasma Wall as
shown in Figure 4.
WIRE CONNECTIONS - CAT-5e
The connection between the IR receiver and the connecting block can be
made with twisted-pair wiring (i.e., CAT-5e cable). It may be necessary to use
shielded twisted-pair wiring if the wiring is exposed to interference from
power wiring centers or from broadcast signals (FM, TV, etc.) located nearby.
The installer should determine the cable type needed to suit the local conditions of the installation. See Figure 2.
