Using Compatible IR Products Receiver Pinout Receivers are powered by 12 volts on the sleeve contact of the 9878 Wallplate IR jack. Infrared signals may be transmitted from any Wallplate location back to the 1171 IR output by connecting a compatible IR receiver to the Wallplate’s IR jack. The Wallplate provides 12V power to the IR receiver; do not use IR receivers that provide their own power or damage could result. Connect a compatible emitter to the 1171’s IR output.
