17277 – Xtra Link2™ European Version

Matthew — Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:13:58 +0000

The 170 started it all back in 1983. This version of the Xtra Link, Model 172, utilizes the 291-00 IR Receiver which has greatly improved range and interference rejection. The 291-00 receives the IR signals from a hand-held remote, converts them to DC control signals and passes them to the RF/IR Injector where they are mixed with the RF television signal. This combined signal is carried over a coaxial cable. At the other end of this coax the signals are separated at the RF/IR Coupler and the DC control signal is sent to an infrared emitter placed directly on the IR control window of the component you want to control.

Specifications

IR modulation freq. bandwidth: 30 – 100 kHz.
Nominal reception range: > 30 feet.
Nominal reception angle: 45 degrees off axis.
Maximum current output: 100 milliamps.
Maximum number of directly driven IR emitters: Up to two single or two dual emitters using the CPL94B Coupler.
The CPL77 Coupler contains a 5-900 MHz 2-way RF splitter.
Cable requirement: RG-59/RG-6 coaxial.
Maximum cable length: One mile with RG-6.
Power: 12 volts DC @ 10 milliamps. Power Supply Included.
Dimensions of 291-00: 3-1/4″ x 1″ x 2″ (83mm x 26mm x 51mm)

Features

Attractive case for shelf top locations.
Talkback red LED tests system for correct wiring as well as indicating infrared reception.

The complete 172 Xtra Link2 package includes the following:

1 – 291-00 Infrared Receiver.
1 – Injector.
1 – Coupler.
1 – 284M Dual IR Infrared emitter.
1 – DC Power Supply.
2 – Coax jumper cables with RF connectors (U.S.A. version only).

There are several versions of the Model 172 available as follows:

172-94 U.S.A.
172-94X kits are used along with one standard 172-94 when installing Xtra Links in more than one room. This avoids duplication of couplers, emitters and coax jumper cables.
172-78 UNITED KINGDOM

Each version utilizes coax connectors and power supplies appropriate for the applicable countries.

WL25 – Standard J-Box Receiver

Matthew — Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:49:40 +0000

DESCRIPTION
The WL25 is designed to reject interference from CRT, DLP and LED Displays. This IR Receiver mounts easily into a single gang, electrical J-Box, is supplied with mounting screws, and comes with a Decorator-style insert, allowing the installer to use a Decorator-style wall cover plate. This provides an integrated look for control of A/V equipment behind closed doors or any IR Repeater System that is in close proximity to light sources described above.
FEATURES
• J-Box Mounting with Decorator-style insert (available in white (included), ivory, almond, & black)
2. You can confirm the source of the interference by temporarily turning off TV sets, isolating the Micro Link IR Receiver from all sunlight and turning off all lights, light dimmers and Infrared security systems. Then check to see if the Micro Link IR Receiver operates the component.
• 4-screw terminal block for interface to Xantech Connecting Blocks
• Works in normal 3-wire mode
• RF Grid included for EMI reduction
• Talk Back LED for IR reception and full system operation indication
• Sometimes interference will cause the red Talk-Back LED on the front of the Micro Link IR Receiver to blink dimly, intermittently, or continuously.
• 7 units may be powered by one 781ERGPS power supply (regulated 12VDC 200mA supply)
Note: The WL25 will not operate in 2-wire Phantom Power mode
• The Talk-Back Led should only blink when you are sending infrared commands to the Micro Link IR receiver from a remote control.
SPECIFICATIONS
• Infrared modulation frequency bandwidth: 25 – 60 kHz
• It may be necessary to move either the interfering source of the Micro Link IR Receiver to achieve proper operation.
• Reception range: up to 80 feet (18M), depending on remote control output strength and ambient conditions.
3. If the Talk-Back LED or the 286D Emitters do not blink when you are sending IR commands to the Micro Link IR Receiver from a remote control, check the following:
• Reception angle: 55 degrees off axis at 50% range reduction
• Cable requirements: 3-conductor. Use 24-gauge up to 200′ (61M), 22 gauges up to 600′ (180M), 20-gauge up to 2000′ (600M), 18-gauge up to 5000′ (1.5KM) — unshielded OK.
• Make sure the power supply is plugged securely into a live AC electrical outlet.
• Maximum transmission length: One mile using 18-gauge wire (1.6KM)
• Be sure the stereo mini plug of the Micro Link IR Receiver is plugged into the “IR RCVR” jack on the CB12 Connecting Block, not into the “OUT” jack.
• Maximum current output: 100 mA (pulse)
• Dimensions: 1-3/4” W x 4-1/8” H x 1-1/8” D
• Power requirements: 12 volts DC @ 20mA
