REMOTE CONTROL EXPANSION KIT

The Model 172-94X is an expansion kit intended for use when installing Xtra Link 2's in more that one room.

It includes only the parts needed for each additional room, thus avoiding the unnecessary duplication of

couplers, emitters and coax jumper cables.

The 172-94X kit consists of the following supplied parts:

1. One 291-10 Infrared (IR) Receiver. It is placed at the remote room location to receive IR signals

-from the handheld remote controller.

2. One INJ94 Injector.  This unit, located in the Remote Room, injects the remote control signal into the

 room-to-room coaxial cable (along with the TV signal) and passes it to the CPL94B Coupler in the

 Main room.  It also allows quick connection of the 291-00 IR Receiver and 781RG Power Supply

 cables.

3. One short coaxial cable.  Connects the INJ94 Injector to the TV in the Remote Room.

4. A 781C-00 Power supply. This plugs into an unswitched 120V AC outlet to provide power to the

291-00 IR Receiver.

INSTALLATION

Fig. 2 shows the connections necessary when using a 172-94X expansion kit to provide remote control from

an additional room.

Begin by installing a standard 172-94 kit, for one of the remote rooms.  (Refer to the owner's manual for the

Xtra Link 2 Model 172-94, for basic system connections).  Next, using one of the 172-94X kits, install it into

the second remote room, making connections as shown in Fig. 2.  Note that a 2-way RF splitter is used to

split the coax signal to each of the remote rooms.  This splitter 

must be a DC passing type, such as the

Xantech Model 200-00.

NOTE: If RF amplifier(s) are used anywhere in the line of coaxial cable between the CPL94B Coupler and

the INJ94 Injectors, you 

must use a Xantech BYPASS94 KIT to route the IR commands around such

amplifier(s).

ADVANCED MULTIROOM HOOKUP

Fig. 3 shows an advanced system using six 172-94 plus five 172-94X Expansion Kits, in a multiroom

installation.  The connection concept is essentially the same as in Fig. 2, except for the additional splitters,

RF amplifiers, etc. that need to be taken into consideration.
