Installation Manual
Bezel Exchange
The 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.
Product Overview
The 862 Eye 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. It mounts through a circular hole with a diameter of 0.5” (1.27 cm), requires
a minimum clearance of 2.0” (5.08 cm) behind the face of the mounting panel,
and will mount in a panel with a maximum thickness of 1.75” (4.45 cm).
The blue talkback LED can be disabled by snipping the wire that loops out of
the 860 near the leads.

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.
