Rear Panel Wiring and Connections
IR connections are made using a 3-pin
Control Connector supplied with the device.
The wire slips into the hole and locks with a
screw located at the top of the connector.
IMPORTANT: IR Wiring Precautions
Ensure that all IR emitters are within 15 feet
(4.6 meters) from the controller’s location.
Use of 3rd party blinking IR emitters with
Talk Back is not recommended. These types of emitters can draw
voltage away from the IR signal that can degrade IR performance.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: Disconnect the unit from AC power
by removing the power cord from the AC outlet and the unit before
replacing the fuse.
IMPORTANT: The orientation of the cartridge within the unit and lo-
cation of the fuse within the cartridge are crucial to proper operation.
Make note of the orientation of the cartridge and the fuse location
within the cartridge before removing.
1. Disconnect the unit from AC power by removing the power cord.
2. Open the fuse cover on the AC power input using a flat head
screwdriver or similar thin flat head tool. This will allow access to the
fuse cartridge.
3. Using a flat head screwdriver or similar thin flat head tool, gently
loosen the cartridge and pull the cartridge out of the unit slowly. As
the cartridge is removed, make note of the orientation, as it is import-
ant to proper operation.
TIP: Mark the chassis and fuse holder with a marker in order to align
when replacing.
4. Remove the old fuse from the cartridge and discard.
5. Gently place the new fuse in
the cartridge and place the
cartridge part way into the
receptacle aligning it as
defined in the diagram.
6. Gently press on the cartridge the rest of the way until it seats into
the terminals at the rear of the slot.
NOTE: If any resistance is encountered during seating the cartridge,
DO NOT apply more pressure. Stop pressing on the cartridge, remove
it, verify the orientation, and repeat step.
