XVCE100IR Volume Control

The XVCE100IR is a volume control that provides the touch and
feel of an electronic device. With a high-value appeal, no
mechanical rotating or sliding parts are used in this high-power
volume control design. The XVCE100IR is rated to 100 Watts and
provides 12 steps of volume control. Also featured is a built-in IR
eye and “mute” button. The XVCE100IR comes with mounting
screws and a Decora

®

style insert that can be used with the popular

Decora® faceplate.

Installation, Notes, and Caution

You will need at the very least, a 1/8” slotted screwdriver, a ¼”
slotted screwdriver, wire cutters and wire strippers.

The recommended speaker wire to be used is 16-gauge stranded
copper speaker wire. For runs longer than 100 feet, we recommend
14-gauge stranded copper speaker wire. Never use solid-core wire
such as aluminum or Romex wire.

Most installations in the United States require a special fire rated
wire (CL-2 or CL-3) for speaker wire installed within a wall. Consult
your local building codes to find out what kind of wire is required.

Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting a system. The
positive terminals should always be connected to the positive wire.
The negative terminals should always be connected to the negative
wire. Failure to do so will result in poor phasing and possible
system malfunctions.

Some areas allow the installation of the volume control to be placed
in the same junction box as a high voltage connection (120VAC)
and divided by a low-voltage partition. This is not recommended as
the speaker wires may pick up interference from the high voltage
(120VAC) power lines. Again, consult your local building codes to
verify the proper way to install the product.
