Installation Instructions
1. Find a good location for installing
Select the location for installing the device so that the
objects you want to detect are within the detection area
of the box (80° horizontally, 34° vertically). Note that
the detection precision is best if the objects are moving
perpendicular to the front label of the MX-Proximity-Box:
34° vertically

rims stick out equally on both sides. Push the cable
through the plug, remove the sheath on a length of
15 mm/0.6 in and strip the insulation of the wires for
about 5 mm/0.2 in.
80° horizontally
2. Attach the box
Attach the MX-Proximity-Box at the mounting position
with the cable ports pointing downwards. Next, remove
the box cover (three screws).
3. Prepare the connection cables
Before proceeding, make sure there is no current on
the MxBus wires!
Cut the MxBus wires to size (2-wire, 0.6–0.8 mm diameter). When using wires without sheath, strip the insulation
of the wires for 5 mm and push the wires through the
eight-wire plug (le).
When using a cable with jacket (e.g., J-Y(St)Y), remove
the pre-installed eight-wire plug and insert the appropriate cable plug (3 to 5 mm or 5 to 7 mm). Press the
rubber plug into the casing in such a way that the
4. Connect the MxBus wires to the terminal
Connect the MxBus wires to the terminals of the
MX-Proximity-Box using the screwdriver. Make sure
to maintain the polarity (see sticker on the front of
the terminal).
5. Mount the cover
Mount the cover back onto the MX-Proximity-Box and
aix it using the cover screws.
6. Connect the MxBus wires to the opposite side
Connect the MxBus wires as described in the corresponding manual to the MOBOTIX camera or to another
MxBus module connected to a camera (e.g. KeypadRFID,
MX-DoorMaster). Make sure not to exceed the overall
length of the MxBus wiring (max. 100 m/328 ).
