Xantech Stereo Receiver ML85 User Manual

DESCRIPTION  
The Micro Link IR Receiver is a small peep-hole style infrared repeater  
assembly. The Micro Link IR Receiver is equipped with a 7-foot cable and  
a 3.5mm stereo mini plug, which is plugged directly into the “IR RCVR”  
jack on the connecting block, such as the models 789-44, CB60, and 791-  
44. The Micro Link IR Receiver is primarily intended for use in installations  
where the connecting block is within reach of its 7-foot cable – as when  
installing the Micro Link IR Receiver in a cabinet where the controlled  
equipment is behind closed doors.

LARGE SYSTEM APPLICATION  
TROUBLE SHOOTING:  
The ML85 IR receiver is compatible with all Xantech Connecting Blocks.  
Different connecting blocks are provided for application specific situations.  
For instance, in the diagram below, a 791-44 connecting block is used to  
control several components.  
1. Perhaps the most common problem you may encounter is stray IR  
(infrared) or RF (radio frequency) interference preventing proper  
operation of the controlled equipment.  
Fluorescent, Compact Fluorescent, Neon or Halogen  
lights, Neon Art, and light dimmers.  
Direct of reflected sunlight.  
Infrared security sensors (active types).  
RF radiation from TV sets that may be close to the Micro  
Link IR Receiver.

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.

Talkback LED

GN D  
Sometimes interference will cause the red Talk-Back LED  
on the front of the Micro Link IR Receiver to blink dimly,  
intermittently, or continuously.  
The Talk-Back Led should only blink when you are  
sending infrared commands to the Micro Link IR receiver  
from a remote control.

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:  
Make sure the power supply is plugged securely into a live  
AC electrical outlet.  
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.  
Check to see that all the mini plugs are properly seated  
into the mini jacks on the CB12 Connecting Block.  
4. If the 283D Emitters blink, but the component does not respond,  
reposition the 283D Emitter(s). They may not be located directly  
over the component’s infrared receiving “window”. Consul the  
owner’s manual of the unit or the manufacturer for the exact  
location of the infrared “window”.
