INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
490-85
CLF / LCD Friendly Micro Link IR Receiver
DESCRIPTION
The 490-85 is a CFL (compact fluorescent light) / LCD (liquid crystal display) version of the 490 Micro
Link series IR receivers. It is specifically designed to have greater immunity to high frequency
ballasted CFL and overhead fluorescent type infrared inference and to have exceptional IR reception
range.
These small IR receivers have been designed primarily for mounting in panels, doors,

IR CARRIER ADJUSTMENT The 490-85 is factory set to an IR carrier repeat frequency of 39kHz. This will be correct for the majority of installations. However, some manufacturer’s components that you wish to control may use different carrier frequencies (such as RCA DSS satellite receivers that use 56kHz). If sure carrier frequencies fall within the range of 32kHz to 56kHz, you can adjust the 490-85 to match them for the best range performance. The adjustment can be made through the small

IR Troubleshooting Guide NOTE: Due to the many variables in a given installation, the troubleshooting countermeasures you will have to take may vary from job to job. Each installation is different due to the number of IR receivers in use, length of wire runs, type of wire, amount of ambient IR noise present, etc…. Therefore, your countermeasures for a particular job will range from nothing at all, to any combination of the solutions listed below. IR Receivers: Model #’s 291, 480,

Symptom #7: Absolutely No Functionality (How to determine which component is at fault) Step: Component to Test Instructions With a Multimeter, measure the DC Voltage of the supply while it is connected to the Connecting Block. Put the Negative lead of the meter on the terminal marked GND and the Positive Lead on the terminal marked 12VDC (or V). You should get a reading between 11.5VDC and 13.0VDC. If not, remove the supply from the Connecting block and measure again this t
