MX3-IZ Locator Tester User Manual

Summary

The MX3-IZ Locator Tester uses magnetics and RF communications to test the functionality of the MX3­IZ Locator, a crucial device in the Matrix Proximity Detection System. The Locator Tester can operate as
a standalone unit or as part of a larger testing assembly.

Cautions and Warnings

 For proper operation, only one active Locator Tester should be installed in the same room.
 Do no use this equipment near water.
 Refer all servicing to the manufacturer. Service is required when the Locator Tester has been

damaged in any way, including:

o The power cord or plug is damaged.
o Liquid is spilled onto the unit.
o An object falls onto the unit.
o The unit is exposed to rain or excessive moisture.
o The unit does not operate normally.
o The unit has been dropped.

 Only use the power cord provided by the manufacturer with the Locator Tester.

Installation

The Locator Tester must be placed at least twelve (12) inches away from all metallic walls, metal
cabinets, and other large metal objects to assure proper operation. Failure to do so may yield inaccurate
test results. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the Locator Tester to rain or
moisture.
