The remote is powered by a CR2025 Battery.

The KD-4x4CSA/KD-8x8CSA switcher features an IR sensor on the front of the unit for reception of signals.

The IR Sensor on the front panel may also accept signals from a Compass Control Master Controller or from a 3rd party control system.

When using a Master Controller or 3rd party control system, the IR Emitter must be mounted over the IR Sensor on the front of the KD-4x4CSA/KD-8x8CSA unit.

The other end of the cable is connected to the Multi-function I/O port on the Master Controller or the IR Extender/IR Connecting Block of the 3rd party control system.

Connect a mono cable to the Multi-function I/O port on the Master Controller or the IR Extender/IR Connecting Block of the 3rd party control system.

The other end would then connect to Pins 1 and 2 on the 6-Pin Terminal Block.

IR In is Pin 1; Ground is Pin 2.

Connect a stereo cable to the Multi-function I/O port on the Compass Control Master Controller or the RS-232 port of the 3rd party control system.

The other end would then connect to Pins 3,4,5,6 on the 6-Pin Terminal Block.

Tx Data is Pin 3; Rx Data is Pin 5; Ground is Pin 4 and/or Pin 6.

Either ground pin may be used for RS-232.

Connect an Ethernet cable from the KD-4x4CSA/KD-8x8CSA to a network router or connect a crossover cable from the KD-4x4CSA/KD-8x8CSA directly to a PC.
