1. 12V DC Jack – Provides 12Volt DC power to  
IR-CB2 via a regulated power supply.  
6. Emitter Hi/Low switch – Setting these switches to  
the appropriate position allows you to connect  
either a high-output flooding emitter (IR-E1HO)  
or low-output emitter. There is one Hi/Low switch  
for emitter port four and one Hi/Low switch for  
emitter port five.  
2. IR Emitter Outputs – 3.5mm jacks provide output for  
either single or dual low-level flashers.  
3. 3-30V AC/DC Status – 3.5mm jack provides  
system status to sensors/keypads via a 12V power  
supply attached to a switched outlet on the system  
receiver or a 12V trigger output.  
7. Sensor Inputs – Removable quick connect sensor  
plug for connection of IR sensors to the system.  
4. 12V Output – When 12V DC is detected at the  
status jack (#3) the 12V output jack will output  
12V/200mA DC. This is useful for triggering external  
devices and system automation.  
5. Status/IR Confirmation LED – This LED performs  
two functions: (1) it provides a visible indication of  
system status via a green LED and (2) confirms the  
reception of IR data via a blinking blue LED.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION  
The IR Receiver cables, emitter cables and the 12V  
DC power supply cable must all reach the proposed  
location of the IR-CB2 Connecting Block. Mark the  
cables with wire labels, describing where the cables  
originate from, rather than where they will terminate.  
Locate a local un-switched AC outlet to be used to  
power the IR-CB2 power supply.

13. Insert the smooth side of the connector plug into  
the smooth side of the IR Connecting Block socket.  
6. Determine the mounting location for the IR-SMR.  
7. Make sure the mounting surface is clean.  
14. Connect the IR-E1 Emitters to the emitter outputs.  
8. Remove the protective coating from the self-  
adhesive tape and attach the IR-SMR to the  
mounting surface.  
15. Plug the 12V DC power supply connector into the  
IR-CB2 socket marked POWER.

Power Status  
Note: Using an IR-E1 or IR-E2 Emitter with the  
Emitter Output Switch set to the HI position, can  
damage the emitter.  
You can send a Power Status signal to IR-SMR  
receiver by connecting a 12V DC power supply from  
the switched AC power outlet of the preamp/receiver  
to the status input jack of your IR-CB2. Any 12V DC  
power supply with a minimum of 100mA current  
capacity can be used.  
12-VoltTrigger Output  
The JobSite IR-CB2 provides a 12V  
DC output that can be triggered  
one of two ways:  
Hi/Low Emitter Output Switches  
1. The presence of status voltage  
on the 12V DC status input jack.  
3-30V  
Emitter Output positions 4 and 5 have Hi/Low output  
options. Set these switches to the appropriate  
position depending on what  
JobSite Emitter you intend to  
use. When you are using an  
IR-E1 or IR- E2 Emitter, set the  
switch in the LOW position. If  
you are using a JobSite  
AC/DC  
STATUS  
IN  
2. Discrete infrared On and Off  
commands.

This output can be used to trigger any device that  
requires 12V DC to be activated.  
Note: Status voltage takes priority over IR command.  
IR-E1HO Emitter, set the  
switch in the HI position.

OPERATION  
Additional IR Receivers  
The IR-Kit includes one surface mount receiver. The  
included IR-CB2 Connecting Block will accommodate  
a second IR Receiver. JobSite makes a variety of  
receivers for virtually any application. See your  
JobSite dealer for more information.  
Test your IR Repeater system by following three  
principal guidelines:  
1. All components can be operated: Test all of your  
remote controls for all of your equipment.  
2. Operation is consistent: A good test is to  
repeatedly step from Pause to Play with your VCR,  
CD, DVD, or Tape player remote control. Operation  
should be identical to standing in front of the  
component with the remote control pointed  
directly at the receiver window.  
3. Maximum range between the remote control and  
the JobSite IR Receiver is similar to the maximum  
range between the remote control and the A/V  
component’s IR Receiver: Typically a remote  
control with two batteries will have a 15 to 20 foot  
range and a remote with four batteries will have a  
20 to 30 foot range.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
IR Saturation  
Bad Connections or Wiring  
Sometimes the emitter output can saturate the IR  
receiving window of a component. When this  
occurs, the IR command will not be executed. This  
can occur on an intermittent basis when there is a  
Plasma TV in the system.  
If the connections or wiring are wrong, loose,  
shorted or open, the system will not operate properly.  
The symptoms could include: Power LED flickers or  
is off, IR Test LED is continuously flickering or on  
without any remote control use, intermittent  
operation or no operation.  
Solution:  
1. Remove the IR Blocking Cover if you are using one.  
Solution: Systematically troubleshoot  
the wiring by:  
2. Turn on the Plasma TV, because this may be  
contributing to the problem.  
1. Testing your power supply connections.  
2. Testing your receiver connections.  
3. Testing your emitter connections.  
3. Relocate the IR Emitter approximately 1/2" away  
from the IR Receiving window.  
4. Some experimentation will be required to  
determine the best location for emitter.  
4. Testing your cable for shorts and opens.  
Note: Do not use an IR Blocking Cover if a  
component is sensitive to IR saturation.

Optical or Electromagnetic  
Interference  
Optical Feedback Loop  
If you have an IR Receiver in the same room as a  
emitter, and you have some low-level noise or  
interference, an optical feedback loop can occur  
which will interfere with proper operation. Symptoms  
can include: poor range, intermittent operation or no  
operation.  
Direct sunlight, reflections, neon signs and other  
sources of infrared light or television sets, light  
dimming controls and other sources of  
electromagnetic fields can induce noise and  
interference into your IR repeater system. Symptoms  
can include: flashback LEDs continuously flickering  
or on without any remote control use, poor range,  
intermittent operation or no operation.  
Solution: Replace IR-E1HO Emitters  
You can eliminate optical feedback by replacing any  
IR-E1HO “flooding Emitters” with IR-E1 or  
IR-E2 Emitters and covering all emitters with the  
supplied IR Blocking Covers.  
Solution:To eliminate EMI try the  
following methods  
1. Move the receiver or the receiver cable away from  
the EMI source or move the source of the EMI  
away from the receiver or the cable.  
2. Connect the receiver’s GND terminal to true earth  
ground (if this isn’t feasible use the main system  
unit’s GND terminal).
