284-10

DUAL MINI EMITTER

DESCRIPTION

• The  284-10 is a dual emitter assembly.  The  emitters are wired in series with each other and each contain

a small infrared LED housed in a miniature, black appearing, injection molded plastic shell.

• They emit control signals in the form of invisible infra-red (IR) light when activated by IR commands sent

to them by IR receivers or other Xantech controllers.

• They are designed to be installed directly on the IR sensor window of each 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 invisible IR  light as well as the flat surface when a command is sent.

• Simply peel off the protective 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 such units, or the manufacturer, for the exact IR window location.

• Double-sided adhesive tape is included.  If you move

the emitter to a different component, use a piece of

this tape to replace the current adhesive layer, if

needed.

• The shell, though black in appearance, is transparent

to infrared light, allowing commands from a handheld

remote control to pass through the shell.  This permits

direct control of the equipment from a handheld

remote as well as from the 284-10.

CONNECTING THE EMITTERS

• Simply insert the mono mini plug of the 284-10 assembly 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 or the 791

Series Amplified Connecting Blocks.  To do so will destroy the emitters!
