1. 12V DC Jack – Provides 12Volt DC power to IR-CB2 via a regulated power supply. 2. IR Emitter Outputs – 3.5mm jacks provide output for either single or dual low-level flashers. 3. 3-30V AC/DC Status – 3.5mm jack provides system status to sensors/keypads via a 12V power supply attached to a switched outlet on the system receiver or a 12V trigger output. 6.
PACKAGE CONTENTS PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION n Snap and Lock Connectors x 2 The IR Receiver cables, emitter cables and the 12V DC power supply cable must all reach the proposed location of the IR-CB2 Connecting Block. Mark the cables with wire labels, describing where the cables originate from, rather than where they will terminate. Locate a local un-switched AC outlet to be used to power the IR-CB2 power supply.
INSTALLATION 1. Select an appropriate location for the IR-CB2. 2. Run all the necessary wiring to the IR-CB2. Label the wires for future reference. 3. Plug the supplied 12V DC power supply into the un-switched AC outlet. 4. Plug the 12V DC power supply connector into the IR-CB2 socket marked POWER. 5. After verifying that the AC outlet works, unplug the power supply connector. 6. Determine the mounting location for the IR-SMR. 7. Make sure the mounting surface is clean. 8.

Power Status You can send a Power Status signal to IR-SMR receiver by connecting a 12V DC power supply from the switched AC power outlet of the preamp/receiver to the status input jack of your IR-CB2. Any 12V DC power supply with a minimum of 100mA current capacity can be used. Note: Using an IR-E1 or IR-E2 Emitter with the Emitter Output Switch set to the HI position, can damage the emitter.
OPERATION Additional IR Receivers Test your IR Repeater system by following three principal guidelines: The IR-Kit includes one surface mount receiver. The included IR-CB2 Connecting Block will accommodate a second IR Receiver. JobSite makes a variety of receivers for virtually any application. See your JobSite dealer for more information. 1. All components can be operated: Test all of your remote controls for all of your equipment. 2.
TROUBLESHOOTING IR Saturation Bad Connections or Wiring Sometimes the emitter output can saturate the IR receiving window of a component. When this occurs, the IR command will not be executed. This can occur on an intermittent basis when there is a Plasma TV in the system. If the connections or wiring are wrong, loose, shorted or open, the system will not operate properly.
Optical or Electromagnetic Interference Direct sunlight, reflections, neon signs and other sources of infrared light or television sets, light dimming controls and other sources of electromagnetic fields can induce noise and interference into your IR repeater system. Symptoms can include: flashback LEDs continuously flickering or on without any remote control use, poor range, intermittent operation or no operation. Solution: To eliminate EMI try the following methods 1.
