480-95
Plasma Friendly Dinky Link IR Receiver
DESCRIPTION
The 480-95 is a Plasma Friendly version of the 480-00 series Dinky Link IR receivers. It is specifically
designed to have greater immunity to plasma infrared inference and to have exceptional IR reception
range. Besides showing great immunity to plasma emissions, the 480-95 (as well as all Xantech
Plasma-Friendly Receivers) work well in the presence of Sunlight and Fluorescent lighting. Their
wide-bandwidth reception allows them to be used with a much wider assortment of IR Controllable
products that the competition assuring the ‘job will get done’ the first time around without un-wanted
service calls.
These small IR receivers have been designed for mounting in very small spaces. They may be
mounted under shelf edges, cabinet ledges, in-wall speakers, etc. anywhere an inconspicuous
appearance is desired. The high sensitivity of these receivers allows placement behind speaker
grilles and still receive IR commands up to 20 feet away. If longer range is necessary, a 3/8-inch hole
must be drilled in the grilled to allow unobstructed entry of the IR signal.
FEATURES
Black, silver, and white color available.
Works in normal 3-wire mode (12VDC, IR, GND).
Red talkback LED for system verification.
Improved Fluorescent light rejection (under most conditions) and rejection from LCD
Displays.
Includes 3-Terminal Block for easy extension of 7 foot ribbon cable.
7 units may be powered by one 781RG power supply.
Normal Operating Power: +12VDC, 20mA.
Note: The 480-95 will not operate in 2-wire Phantom Power mode.

SPECIFICATIONS:
INSTALLATION
This unit is meant to be interfaced to Xantech Connecting Blocks, such as CB12, 789-44, 791-44, etc.
PLACEMENT
Placement of the IR Receiver does matter when used in the presence of a Plasma Display. Ideally it
should be placed somewhere around the Display with the front of the receiver flush with the front of
the Display. If the 480-95 needs to be placed in front of the display (such as on an adjacent side wall
perpendicular to the display), make sure it is placed at a location at least 45 degrees off axis from the
corners of the unit. The presence of Direct Sunlight and Fluorescent Lighting should not effect the
reception of this unit.
08905099B - 2 -
Note: Plasma interference can be reflected off of any item it comes into contact with approx. 3 feet
from the front of the display. Keeping this in mind, make sure that the 480-95 is free of any
obstruction that might reflect back in to the receiving eye.
Note: While this unit shows strong rejection to standard 50/60Hz ‘ballasted’ fluorescent lighting, it is
still prone to interference from CFL style Fluorescent lighting.
MOUNTING
1. The 480-95 can be mounted to almost any surface using the included double-sided foam tape.
2. Connect proper wires to the +12VDC, GND, and IR to the Xantech Connecting Block.
3. For wire runs longer than 7 feet, use the included 3-terminal screw block to extend wiring runs.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
The 480-95 is preset at the factory for optimal performance. However, some conditions may require
fine tuning. Carefully remove the plastic circular cap to access the sensitivity potentiometer. The
potentiometer is a highly precise and sensitive component, please be gentle when accessing and
turning the potentiometer. The factory default is 12 o’clock position.
Clock-wise (CW) Increase sensitivity
Counter Clock-wise (CCW) Decrease sensitivity
APPLICATION WIRING
A typical system, with a 480-95, 781RG Power Supply and 283M Emitter plugged into a 789-44
Connecting Block, is shown in the figure below.
1. Wire the appropriate leads of the 3 conductor cable to the +12VDC, GND, and IR terminals on
the 789-44 Connecting Block.
2. Plug in the 3.5 mm mono mini plug from any of the 282, 284, 283 and 286 series Emitters into
the jacks labeled EMITTERS on the 789-44 Connecting Block and affix the opposite end of the
IR Sensor Window of the controlled equipment.
3. Plug in the 2.1mm Coaxial power plug of the 781RG Power Supply (not included) into the jack
labeled 12VDC on the 789-44 Connecting Block.
4. Plug the AC end of the 781RG Power Supply into an ‘un-switched’ 120VAC outlet.

ADVANCED WIRING CONFIGURATION
480-95 may also be used in conjunction with other Xantech IR Receivers by simply wiring in parallel
on a Connecting Block such as the 791-44 Amplified Block as shown in the figure below.
1. Connect all IR Receivers in parallel at the terminals of the connecting block as shown in the
figure below.
2. Plug in the 2.1mm Coaxial power plug of the 781RG (or 782) Power supply (not included) into
the jack labeled PWR on the 789-44CB.
Note: Up to 7 IR Receivers may be connected in parallel with a single 781RG power supply. If
more IR Receivers or any Keypads are required, check total current requirements and
increase power supply current rating accordingly; i.e. 782-00 – 1.2A Power Supply)
3. Plug in the Emitters 3.5mm mono mini plug (282, 284, 283 or 286 series) into the Emitter
Outputs on the 791-44.
