Device
Connect to the Relay Port
The HC-800 provides four (4) relay ports for the 
pluggable terminal block provided. With most 
applications, attach one (1) wire to the common 
terminal and the other to the Normally Opened 
terminal. The relay switches close when the relay is 
activated. 
The HC-800 can support applications that require a 
Normally Closed contact.

Connect the Serial Ports
The HC-800 has two (2) DB9-style serial ports. 
Connect a device, for example, a receiver or disc 
changer, to the HC-800 by aligning the pins and 
tightening the screws. 
See the next table for serial communication values.

Set Up IR Emitters or IR Blaster
The system may contain third-party products 
that are controlled with IR commands (usually 
through remote controls). To provide a way for the 
Controller to control a device that only recognizes IR 
commands, complete one of these setups for
• IR Emitters
• IR Blaster
NOTE: All IR ports deliver the same amount of 
power.
IR Emitters
1  Plug the 3.5 mm connector end of one of the six 
(6) IR stick-on emitters provided into an IR Out 
port on the HC-800. 
2  Place the stick-on emitter end over the IR 
receiver on the Blu-ray player, TV, or other target 
device to drive IR signals from the HC-800 to the 
target.
