INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
480 SERIES
DINKY LINK™ INFRARED RECEIVERS
These small IR receivers have been designed for mounting in very small spaces. They may be mounted
under shelf edges, cabinet ledges, in wall speakers, etc. - anywhere an inconspicuous appearance is
desired. The high sensitivity of these receivers allows placement behind speakers grilles and still receive
IR commands up to 20 feet away. If longer range is necessary, a 3/8-inch hole must be drilled in the grille
to allow unobstructed entry of the IR signal. The model versions covered by these instructions are as
follows:
480B-00 Standard version, with black case. Has a 7 foot, three-conductor ribbon cable with stripped and
tinned ends.
480W-00 Same as the 480B-00 except with white case.
