INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
The 283M Blink-IR Mouse Emitter contains a small Infrared LED housed in a miniature, mouse shaped,
black appearing, injection molded plastic shell. Unlike other emitters, the 283M 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 283M is designed to be installed directly on the IR sensor window of the controlled
device.

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 move the emitter to a different component, use this tape
to replace the current adhesive layer for best adhesion.
• 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 283M.
