Xantech 283TP Installation Instructions
MODEL
283TP
BLINK-IR™ Mouse Emitter, Twin Plug
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
The 283TP "Twin-Plug" Blink Emitter is based on Xantech's
standard 283M Blink-IR Mouse emitter with two 3.5mm
Mono-Mini plugs each with 'diode' isolation. The twin plug
feature allows a single emitter to be shared by two IR
sources. For instance, one mouse emitter can now be
connected to both an IR receiver and a Xantech Multi-Zone
Controller without having to place two emitters on the front
of the IR Controllable component.
Internally, the 283TP contains components that are
designed to keep the IR signal path directed towards the
emitter only, allowing both control systems to be completely
isolated. The plugs are gold plated to increase durability
and connectivity
.

Each emitter has a clear adhesive layer on the bottom
flat surface of the shell. The rounded side faces the
user and emits visible light when a command is sent.
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 the 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 283TP.
CONNECTING THE EMITTERS
Simply insert the mono mini plug of the 283TP 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 790-00 and 791-44
Connecting Blocks. To do so will destroy the emitters!
The 283TP visible mouse emitter will also indicate the
presence of stray IR or RF interference by randomly
blinking when no IR control signal is being sent.
Reposition the IR receiver of the interfering source to
eliminate or reduce the random blinking. The more the
random blinking is reduced, the better the system will
function.
An optional shield, available from Xantech as model
MS-1, fits over the emitter head and the sensor window
of the controller component.
INSTALLATION SETUP #1:
Home Theater \ Multi-room Controller
The setup below shows two IR signals connected to a
single source. This allows the source to be controlled from
two areas. One mono plug goes to the connecting block.
The other mono plug is connected to the MRC44 Controller.
INSTALLATION SETUP #2:
Expanded Multi-room Controller
The setup below shows two MRAUDIO4X4 Controllers
connected in Expansion mode. Expansion mode doubles
the number of zones while using the same number of
sources. The benefit of the 283TP is that you only need to
place one emitter at each source. One mono plug is
connected to the ‘master’ controller. The other mono plug is
connected to the ‘slave’ controller. This application can
apply to the entire product line of Xantech controllers.
