Another problem! I connected the ACB to the RFX with a mono mini plugs on both ends. When I active a command on the TSU that uses the ir port on the RFX that is connected to the ACB, I see the RFX activity button flash. I aslo see the activity button on the ACB flash but it does not control the end device.
Here is what I've tried:
1. I put the sensor directly on the ir "eye" of the device.
2. I moved the ir sensor away an inch or so.
3. I tried different sensor wires (from my Harmony 890).
4. I tried setting the dip switch on the RFX to normal and to low.
5. I read in the instructions of the ACB that you should connect a stereo mini plug so I put a mono to stereo plug adaptor on the end of the cable going to the ACB.
None of these things worked.
When I connect the ir sensor directly to the port of the RFX it sends the signal correctly to the end device. So it appears something is wrong with the ACB part of the chain.
Any idea what might be the problem? thx
EDIT: Just spoke with Xantech tech support. The guy told me that instead of just plugging a mini plug in the irrcvd jack I should connect the RFX to the ACB by cutting off the mini plug and attaching the two wires to open connections for ir in and ground. The diagram in the instructions indicates that you use those connections when you attach another ACB to the first ACB unit.
Anyway, I just tried that too and still no luck. The light on the ACB indicates it's receiving the signal but somehow it is not getting transmitted to the end device.
Now what?
