Xantech ML95 Universal Micro Link IR Receiver, Extended Range

The interference from a wall mount TV can wreak havoc with your IR control system. Xantech designed this Universal Micro Link IR Receiver to resist the interference from plasma, LCD and LED TVs, as well as fluorescent and compact fluorescent lighting (CFL), and sunlight - so you can mount this receiver in any room with confidence. The Micro Link IR Receiver is a small peep-hole style infrared repeater assembly, perfect for a nearly flush in-wall or cabinet installation with minimal footprint for a professional finish. The high sensitivity and extended range of this receiver allows it to receive IR commands up to 120 feet away. This Xantech Dinky Link IR receiver includes a 'talkback' LED so you'll know the command was received and sent to the emitter. Includes Black, Brass and White bezels.

Please note: Connecting block, power supply, and emitters are sold separately.

Local System Application

One application is to locate the IR receiver in a central location, near a TV, video screen and/or a speaker. The audio/video equipment can then be hidden inside a cabinet or located away from the front of a room. This will give the end-user the ability to direct a remote control to one central location and not have to worry about aiming to the respective device to be controlled.

Remote Room Application

Another application is to locate the IR receiver in a remote room. This will give the end-user the ability to control audio/video equipment from a location where the remote control no longer has the ability of direct line-of-sight.

Mounting

Drill a 1/2" hole in any surface, such as a cabinet panel. Pass the lead and the body of the ML95 through the hole and secure from the rear with the nut (supplied).

Placement

The IR receiver should be located so that it is not directly facing a light source such as lamps or displays (standard, LCD, and Plasma). When mounted near a display, it should be flush to the display and away from light reflections that may occur.

Cable Connections

ML95s may also be used where the 7-foot cable is not long enough. Simply cut off the mini plug, strip the leads and splice them to a 3-conductor extension cable with a terminal block or other means. Then connect the extension cable to the 3- or 4-terminal block on the connecting block.
