Xantech 286M Installation Instructions

DESCRIPTION

The 286M Dual Blink-IR Mouse Emitter contains small infrared LED's housed in miniature, mouse shaped,
black appearing, injection molded plastic shells. Unlike other emitters, the 286M emits visible red light in
addition to IR (infrared) control signals when activated by IR commands sent to it by IR receivers or other
Xantech controllers. The emitters of the 286M are wired in series and are designed to be installed directly
on the IR sensor windows of the controlled components.

INSTALLATION

ATTACHING THE EMITTERS TO IR SENSOR WINDOWS

• Each emitter has a clear adhesive layer on the bottom flat surface of the shell. The rounded side faces
the user and emits visible red light when a command is sent (Fig. 2).
• Simply peel off the adhesive cover and affix the emitter to the center of the IR sensor window on the
controlled component's front panel.

• In some cases it may be difficult to find the location of the IR sensor on the component. Consult the owner's
manual of the unit, or the manufacturer, for the exact IR sensor window location.
• Double-sided adhesive tape is included. If you remove the emitters for any reason, use this tape to replace
the current adhesive layer for best adhesion.
• The shells, though dark in appearance, are transparent to infrared light, allowing commands from a hand-
held remote control to pass through them. This permits direct control of the equipment from a hand-held
remote as well as from the 286M's.
