SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
The following are a few typical applications of the IRC-1.0 and IRC-1.1 for IR repeater systems.
A Basic System
Fig. 2 shows a basic plug-and-play installation, such as controlling components that are
behind closed cabinet doors or in a closet.
A Multi-Room System
Fig. 3 is an example of the IRC-1.1 wired IR Receiver in a multi-room system with other
SpeakerCraft IR receivers in various rooms, plus a local IRC-1.0. These control the various
components in the main room or equipment area.

1. Find an inconspicuous recessed cabinet panel or wall surface convenient for mounting
the IRC-1.0. Be sure you have a direct “line-of-sight” path from the user’s remote control
to the IRC-1.0. Drill a
1
⁄2" clearance hole.
2. Pass the lead and the IRC-1.0 through the hole and run the washer and nut up from the
rear for tightening. Refer to Fig. 2
.
3. Prior to tightening the nut, press on the Color Cap of your choice on the front until it
“snaps” into place. Tighten the nut just sufficiently to draw the edge of the color cap
flush with the wall surface. Do not over tighten!
4. Plug the IR Receiver and Emitters into the SpeakerCraft AT-1.0 Amplified Terminator, as
shown.
5. Set the DIP switches on the AT-1.0 to EM ON and NET ON or OFF.
6. Plug in the Power Supply.
7. The remote control, fired at the IRC-1.0, should now control the components.

1. Pull 4-conductor wire from each room (home runs) to the AT-1.0 Terminator near the
controlled components.
Note: Use 24 gauge unshielded solid or stranded copper wire up to 1200' (Cat. 5e
ok), 22 gauge up to 2000', 20 gauge up to 3000' and 18 gauge up to 5300'. Total
lengths include all wire runs from each room added together, not just the longest
single run. If using shielded wire, these lengths would be reduced by approximately
30%. Also, to achieve operation with long lengths, the lower DIP switch on the
AT-1.0
must be set to the NET ON position.
2. Install the IRC-1.0 and IRC-1.1 in wall or cabinet surfaces per steps 2 and 3 previous.
3. Connect IR receivers in each room to the 4-conductor home runs as shown, using the
4-conductor terminal strip supplied.
4. Connect the home run wires to the correct terminals on the AT-1.0 EZ-Connect Terminals.
Note: You may use the SpeakerCraft CB Connecting Block (not illustrated, stock
# ASM20200) to help connect the many paralleled home run wires to the AT-1.0
EZ-Connect Terminals.
5. Install and plug the various emitters into the AT-1.0.
6. Set the DIP switches to EM ON (or BL ON if using Blasters behind closet doors) and
NET ON.
7. Plug the local IRC-1.0 IR Receiver into the IR RCVR jack.
8. Plug in the PS-1.0 12V DC Power Supply.
9. A remote control, fired at the IR receivers, should now control the components.
Note: Refer to the SpeakerCraft AT-1.0 Instructions for Power Supply considerations.
