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.
• 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 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 790-00 and 791-44 Connecting Blocks. To do so will
destroy the emitters!
