CONNECTING IR EMITTERS TO OUTPUT PORTS
The multi-purpose input/output (MPIO) port and 2 IR emitter ports on
the XP-3 are compatible with industry standard infrared emitters and
connecting blocks. Each output port is capable of driving up to two infrared
emitters directly. More than two infrared emitters per port requires an
amplied connecting block. A connecting block can be wired up to 1000
feet away from the XP-3 using #22 AWG (minimum) wire.
ADJUSTING IR OUTPUT GAIN
The IR output gain can be separately adjusted for each of the three output
ports. The XP-3 is shipped with the IR gain set to the optimum level for
most equipment, and it should only need to be adjusted if the attached
equipment is not responding reliably.
If adjustment is needed, rotate the IR output controls on the front of the
XP-3 clockwise for higher output power, or counter-clockwise for lower
output power.
CONNECTING POWER SENSOR MODULES
The multi-purpose output port on the XP-3 is compatible with RTI power
sensing modules (e.g. VPS-1 and SPS-1). Follow the guide included with
the modules for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the
Integration Designer software for programming details.
CONNECTING COMMUNICATION MODULES
The multi-purpose output port on the XP-3 is compatible with RTI
communication modules (e.g. CM-232). Follow the guide included with
the modules for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the
Integration Designer software for programming details.
