MODEL
284D
Dual Designer Emitter
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
The 284D Designer Emitter each contain a tiny infrared LED housed in a miniature, designer styled, black appearing, injection molded plastic shell. They emit IR (infrared) control signals sent to them by IR receivers or other Xantech controllers. The 284Ds can be installed directly on the IR sensor window of the controlled devices or other suitable location.
INSTALLATION
ATTACHING THE EMITTERS TO IR SENSOR WINDOWS
•Each emitter has a clear adhesive layer on the bottom flat surface of the shell.
•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.
•
•The shell, though dark in appearance, is transparent to infrared light, allowing commands from a handheld remote control to pass through it. This permits direct control of the equipment from a handheld remote as well as from the 284D.
BLACK (IR OPAQUE) EMITTER SHIELD
•An optional shield, available from Xantech as model 28DES, fits over the emitter head and the sensor window of the controlled component. It prevents unwanted external IR signals from passing through or leaking past it.
•Use the 28DES when you want the equipment to respond only to the 284D, such as in zone controlled systems.
ATTACHING THE EMITTERS TO OTHER LOCATIONS
•The high output from the curved top side of the emitter permits control from as much as 3 feet away when on the axis of the IR sensor window of the component.
•This allows placement on surfaces just below, above or in front of the controlled components for a more pleasing aesthetic appearance.
•Choose a location on a cabinet shelf, door, etc., as shown in Figs. 3b, c and d. Be sure the edge of the component does not block the IR signal (Figs. 3c and d).
CAUTION: Cabinet door locations (Fig. 3b) will usually result in interruption of the IR control signals to the components when the door is open.
CONNECTING THE EMITTERS
•Simply insert the mono mini plug of the 284D emitter into the “EMITTERS” or “OUT” jacks on any of the Xantech Connecting Blocks or Controllers.
•CAUTION: DO NOT plug emitters into the IN/OUT or HIGH OUT jacks on the
