gmontgomery Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 http://www.xantech.com/Infrared/Infrared/IREmitters/282TPD/I've had a hard time sourcing one of these IR emitters. It has one emitter, but two 3.5mm jacks and inline diodes. This allows two control systems to control the device, and the diodes prevent voltage from feeding back to the other system. Anyone ever make one of these on their own, or know how the diodes would need to wire in to create same setup.Thanks,Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic30101 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 i am assuming a 12 volt diode from auto zone would work. Will need 2 on each of the 3.5mm connectors voltage side along with a voltmeter to test directionality. What 2 systems are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcovach Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I can special order as it isn't a stocked item. Or you can try yourself on adiglobal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowitall Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Just splice 2 c4 emitters together do it all the time. Cheaper too since everything is IP now almost I have a bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic30101 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 He is trying to do 1 emitter with 2 3.5mm ends. And it needs diodes to keep the voltage from back feeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAV Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 1n4003 diode, stripe towards the emitter end on both positive wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twmoonly Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Bring emitter into terminal block and provide your own diode. Have this in our showroom between Crestron and C4. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videostorm Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 IrUSB could also fit the requirement (single emitter controlled by multiple devices). Since it is IP controlled, you can have 40+ devices controlling it. Use our driver protocol or also works with iTach / GC protocol http://www.video-storm.com/proddetail.asp?prod=irusb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
