Plug the sensor into the RJ11 port on the
side of the APS unit. This port looks just
like a telephone jack. You will hear a
“click” sound when the connection is
good.

Switch the resettable circuit breaker at
the end of the APS unit to RESET to

Connect the TAV-Link™cable from the
back of the multi-sensor to an available
HDMI port on your TV.
Note: Requires a TV with a CEC
compatible HDMI port to operate
correctly and enable ‘soft switching’ of
the TV.
Remove the backing from the double-sided tape on the bottom of the
sensor. Mount the multi-sensor to a clean and dry surface, preferably on
the bottom of the TV.
Note: Ideal mounting location is near the TV infrared sensor. If the
TAV-Link™cable is connected, ensure the sensor is close to the
HDMI port as the TAV-Link™cable is 4 ft.
Using a paperclip or pin, short press the
button (< 1 second) in the pinhole on the
rear of the sensor to pair your RF (eg
DirecTV or Comcast) remote control. A
blue LED will start to flash.
Place the RF remote control two inches
from the sensor.
Press and hold Vol or Channel button on
the RF remote control until the blue LED
switches off and a red LED switches on
for one second when the remote has
been paired successfully. The pairing
process is now complete.
Note: You can pair up to 4 RF remote
controls. Repeat the process to pair
additional remotes. To delete all paired
remotes press and hold the pairing
button on the rear of the sensor for 5
second.
