Home >> Xantech >> Xantech 480-00 Dinky Link Infra-Red Receivers

Miniature IR receiver that features surface mount technology. The 480 Dinky Link was originally developed in response to requests from many of Xantech's custom installers for a small, inconspicuous receiver. It was designed for placement in very tiny spaces. One example is between the grille and baffle board of an in-wall speaker. The high sensitivity of this receiver gives you the ability to place the 480 behind a grille and still receive the IR commands up to 20 feet away. If longer range is necessary, you must drill a 3/8-inch hole in the grille.

You would normally use these products to control devices that are out of sight (in a cupboard for instance), for hardwiring infra-red distribution around the house, or for sending commands back to a home controller, like HomeVision.
