CB-140 Infrared Connecting Block Instruction Manual

The CB-140 Connecting Block is an easy-to-use universal IR connecting block with color-coded 3.5mm inputs to make wiring connections simple and efficient.

Connecting Block, Infrared Receiver, Infrared Emitter, Power Supply

Russound manufactures a variety of receivers and emitters to match system requirements. Please consult your Russound dealer or the Russound website at www.russound.com for more information.

Product Overview

The CB-140 Connecting Block connects IR receivers, power supply and emitters together to interface the IR system to the audio / video components. While designed to work as part of a complete Russound IR system, the CB-140 will work with most standard IR sensors and emitters. If using high output flooding type flashers, the use of a higher output power supply may be required (12vDC, 1A).

Key Features

1) Four color-coded 3.5 mm emitter output connections

2) Convenient IR confirmation LED
3) Power receptacle with LED indicator
4) Color-coded 3.5 mm IR Receiver Input
5) Compact size for mounting near audio equipment

CB-140 Connections

Power: Connect the Russound CB-PS Power Supply (sold separately) to the power jack. The power LED will be illuminated when powered. This power connection will power all of the IR components connected to the system.

IR Receiver In: This is a three terminal 3.5 mm plug that is common to many brands' free standing IR receivers. This will connect the power, ground and signal. Signal is tip, ground is the ring and power is the sleeve.

Emitter Outputs: Connect up to 4 emitters to the emitter jacks labeled 1-4, (Green connector). Place the emitters on the source equipment's IR sensor window.

IR Confirm: When an IR signal is received, the IR confirmation green LED will flash.

IRE-1 Emitters to Equipment (not included)

Mounting: Mount the CB-140 near the source equipment to which the emitters are attached.

Extending the IR Receiver wire: For applications where a longer IR receiver wire is required, Russound manufactures the Model 900, IR Receiver Extension, in 50' lengths.

Alternatively, you can use the following diagram to splice an extension:
