PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The SaphIR 862 Eye receives IR signals from a handheld IR remote control

and relays these signals to the audio/video equipment for operation from

another room. It mounts through a circular hole with a diameter of 0.5”, a

minimum clearance of 2.0” behind the face of the mounting panel, and will

mount in a panel with a maximum thickness of 1.75”.

FEATURES

• Comes with interchangeable white, black and brass bezels to easily

customize your installation.

• CFL friendly - allows installations in areas with compact fluorescent

lighting. Works in most lighting environments.

• Blue IR confirmation LED.

• Can easily be mounted in many in-wall speakers (such as Russound

Advantage® and Atmosphere) and custom cabinets.

• Wide band IR. Receives IR from many types of remotes.

BEZEL EXCHANGE

The SaphIR 862 Eye comes with three bezels (white, black, brass) for more

installation color choices.

To remove the bezel, hold the barrel steady and twist the bezel until it clears

the top of the barrel. Make sure the small clear dust cover stays in place at

the end of the barrel.

To replace the bezel, center the bezel over the dust cover and barrel, thread

onto the barrel end and twist until snug. The hole in the dust cover should

line up with the offset sensor at the top of the receiver.

INSTALLATION

The SaphIR 862 Eye is installed into a circular hole 0.5” in diameter. Remove

the nut from the receiver’s barrel. Insert the Eye (wire end first) until the

bezel is flush with the surface. Rethread the nut onto the barrel until it is

snug against the rear of the mounting surface. If necessary, use one or both

of the included washers for a more secure installation into soft or thin

materials.

WIRE CONNECTIONS

Extended Leads from 862 Eye to Terminal Strip to Connecting Block

The extended connection between the IR receiver and the connecting block
should 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. A terminal strip is included for
extending the leads.

Russound offers both CAT-5e cable (AWCAT5) and shielded twisted-pair
cable (AW2260AB) which are suitable for IR installations. Contact Russound
for ordering information.
