PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The SaphIR 862P Plasma Eye receives IR signals from a handheld IR remote
control and relays these signals to the audio/video equipment for operation
from another room. Mounts through a circular hole with a diameter of 0.5”,
requires a minimum clearance of 2.0” behind the face of the mounting surface, and will mount in a panel with a maximum thickness of 1.75”.
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.
• Comes with interchangeable white, black and brass bezels to easily
customize your installation.
• 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 862P Plasma Eye comes with three bezels (white, black, brass) for
more installation color choices.
To remove the bezel, hold the barrel steady and upright and twist the bezel
until it clears the top of the barrel. Make sure the small tinted plasma filter
stays in place at the end of the barrel.
To replace the bezel, center the bezel over the filter and barrel, thread onto
the barrel end and twist until snug.

INSTALLATION
The SaphIR 862P Plasma 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 862P Plasma 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.
