Note: You should use the Ethernet control system for controlling FireBall from a third party control system whenever possible. Using the Ethernet control
system frees up the last COM port for other purposes, allows much longer distances between FireBall and the control system, and provides a much faster
path for data transfer.
IR CONNECTIONS

This connection must be an IR signal with a 36kHz carrier using an 1/8” mono or stereo connector.
TheIRinputjackprovides12Vpower.Thismeansthatyoucandirectlyconnecta12VIRreceiver(liketheXantechseries291units)totheFireBall
using a 1/8” stereo connector. A mono 1/8”direct IR input can be safely used as FireBall will automatically detect the different cable and ground the
voltage to protect your IR system from damage.
