INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

390-20

Shelf-Top, BLAST-IR Emitter

DESCRIPTION

The 390-20 BLAST-IR contains three high-intensity Infrared LEDs housed in a small shelf-top
assembly. The benefit of the 390-20 is that it can “flood” an enclosed area with an infrared signal. The
390-20 comes with a screw terminal plug that allows fast connection to any 3-wire IR receiver.

SPECIFICATIONS

 +12VDC, 200mA.
 Red IR Talk-back LED (internal).
 3 Position Intensity Switch.
 Dimensions: 3-1/4” W x 1” H x 2” D.
 Screw Terminal Plug, (V = POWER, S = SIGNAL \ IR IN, G = GROUND).
 Able to achieve a distance well over 30 feet.

INSTALLATION - EXTERNAL IR RECEIVER (FIGURE 1 BELOW)

The easiest installation is to use the 390-20 with an external Xantech IR Receiver. Xantech IR
Receiver’s have 3 connections, +12VDC Power, IR OUT, and GROUND.

STEP 1: Connect the 3 wires from the Xantech IR Receiver to the 3-Pin Screw Terminal Plug.

- For Xantech IR receivers with a stripe conductor, this should be connected to “S” for IR IN. - -

- For Xantech IR receivers with colored wires, Red goes to “V” for +12VDC, White goes to “S”
for IR IN, and Black goes to “G” for Ground. Shown in Figure 1 below.

STEP 2: Plug the Screw Terminal Plug into the 390-20.

STEP 3: Select the desired Intensity level. It is suggested to use “H” for high level output.

STEP 4: Connect the power supply to the rear of the 390-20. Installation is complete.

FIGURE 1

INSTALLATION - CONNECTING BLOCK (FIGURE 2 NEXT PAGE)

In the event of multiple emitters connected to one IR receiver, using a connecting block, such as the
CB12 and 789-44, is the most convenient installation method.

STEP 1: Connect the included stripped mono-mini wire to the 3-Pin Screw Terminal Plug. The white
striped wire is connected to “S”. The other wire is connected to “G”.

STEP 2: Plug the Screw Terminal Plug into the 390-20.

STEP 3: Connect the emitters, the 390-20’s mono mini cable, and IR receivers to the connecting
block. See figure 2 on the next page.

STEP 4: Select the desired Intensity level. It is suggested to use “H” for high level output.

STEP 5: Connect the power supply to the rear of the connecting block. Installation is complete.

While it is possible to make wired connections without a Xantech connecting block, it is not
recommended. The Xantech connecting block reduces installation time, helps to eliminate errors,
allows easy troubleshooting and permits easy system upgrades later, if needed.

Power Supply

It is recommended to use a +12Vdc, 200mA power supply.

Xantech’s 782-00 or 781RG power supply is acceptable for use with this product.

IR Compatibility

Due to various IR command structures, the 380-20 may not be compatible with certain brand name
components. It is highly recommended to test the 380-20 and all devices that it will control before final
installation.
