INSTALLATION
Connect the 858 to the 857 (or equivalent) connecting block using 2 twisted
pair wire. Use one pair to connect GND (GROUND) and IR (SIGNAL). Use the
other pair to connect ST (STATUS) and V+ (+12VDC). If the wire has a shield,
connect it to the ground at both ends. See Figure 1 for detail of these
connections.
