Xantech 29110D Installation Instructions

MODEL 

29110D 

Hidden Link™ Shelf Top 

Standard IR Receiver 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

DESCRIPTION 

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.

INSTALLATION 

QUICK-START  

A typical system will use an IR receiver, several emitters, and a power supply 

all connected to a connecting block. 

1.  Connect the IR receiver to the “IR RCVR” port on the connecting 

block. The ‘red’ connector is installed to the ‘red’ plug.  

Note: In some extended distances, additional 3-conductor may be required and can 

be connected to the terminals on the connecting block.  

2.  Connect the Emitters to the connecting block. The ‘yellow’ connector 

is installed to the ‘yellow’ plug. 

3.  Connect the power supply to the connecting block.  

4. Installation

LOCAL SYSTEM APPLICATION 

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.
