INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
LOCAL SYSTEM APPLICATION
The Hidden Link IR Receiver is a small shelf-top infrared repeater assembly.
It includes an IR receiver and a CB12 Connecting Block. The Hidden 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 CB12. It can also be
plugged into the “AUX” or “IR RCVR” jack of other Xantech connecting
blocks, such as the models 789-44, CB60, and 791-44. The Hidden 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 Hidden Link
IR Receiver in a cabinet where the controlled equipment is behind closed
doors.
In this system a 286D Dual Blink-IR Designer Emitter is shown connected to
the “OUT” jack. A single emitter could also be used, such as the model 282D
or 283D. If expansion beyond two emitters is required, use a Xantech 789-
44, CB60, or 791-44 Connecting Block in place of the CB12. Do not use the
CB12 in this case.

Then check to see if the Hidden Link IR Receiver operates the

•
•
Sometimes interference will cause the red Talk-Back LED on
the front of the Hidden Link IR Receiver to blink dimly,
intermittently, or continuously.
The Talk-Back Led should only blink when you are sending
infrared commands to the Hidden Link IR receiver from a
remote control.
It may be necessary to move either the interfering source of
the Hidden Link IR Receiver to achieve proper operation.
3. If the Talk-Back LED or the 286D Emitters do not blink when you are
sending IR commands to the Hidden 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 Hidden 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 286D Emitters blink, but the component does not respond,
reposition the 286D 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”.
