Xantech 283D - Manual

MODEL

283D

Blink-IR™ Designer Emitter

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DESCRIPTION

The 283D Blink-IR Designer Emitter contains a small Infrared LED housed
in a miniature, designer styled, black appearing, injection molded plastic
shell. Unlike other emitters, the 283D 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 283D 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.

•

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 283D.

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
283D, such as in zone controlled systems.

CONNECTING THE EMITTERS

•

Simply insert the mono mini plug of the 283D 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 283D visible 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.
