The individual outputs have lots of power available. Make sure you don't put
a bunch of emitters in SERIES with each output. (Use a single emitter for
most output power). Make sure you have a good ground return to the unit.
The IR receiver input can handle several receivers at once. Just connect
them all to the same input simultaneously. You need to add a 10K ohm
resistor from the input to ground though.
As long as the receivers can work directly with a standard emitter, they
will work fine with the IR Master.

    Hi All..
    after getting the breakouts done I have found that the Ir. emitters
signal is not very powerful,it is unable
    to bast an area it has to be within 6 inches of the device you want to
control.
    is there a way to increase the signal strength.

    also is anybody using the Ir. receiver input  for receiving signals from
another area of the house.
    do you just use the (Ir. input and ground) for receiving signals.
    I have a few of the elan Ir. emitters and receivers that I got from
(electronic Goldman) a few months ago
    and was hoping I could use these with the Ir. 100.
    thanks in advance
    Paul
