The CB18 provides a convenient way to parallel many wires onto a common 2,3 or 4 conductor bus. You
can easily connect many home run leads from multiple IR receivers to the input terminals of a Xantech
connecting block, or from Xantech 760-00 Match Maker™ room volume controls to the output terminals of
a main amplifier.

INSTALLATION
When connecting an IR receiver/
keypad system, begin by placing
the "
VGGS
" labels on each of the
terminal plugs as shown in
Fig. 2
.
"
V
" stands for +12 Volts, "
G
" for
Gnd and "

This will aid you in keeping track of
your connections.
Fig. 2
illustrates how the CB18 may
be used to connect 8 home runs
from IR receivers and keypads to
the input terminals of a 789-44 Con-
necting Block in a 9-room system.
