282TP

Mouse Emitter, Twin Plug

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DESCRIPTION

The 282TP "Twin-Plug" Emitter is based on Xantech's
standard 282M Mouse emitter with two 3.5mm Mono­Mini plugs each with 'diode' isolation. The twin plug feature
allows a single emitter to be shared by two IR sources. For
instance, one mouse emitter can now be connected to both
an IR receiver and a Xantech Multi-Zone Controller without
having to place two emitters on the front of the IR
Controllable component.

Internally, the 282TP contains components that are
designed to keep the IR signal path directed towards the
emitter only, allowing both control systems to be completely
isolated. The plugs are gold plated to increase durability

and connectivity

CONNECTING THE EMITTERS

Simply insert the mono mini plug of the 282TP 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 282TP mouse 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.
An optional shield, available from Xantech as model
MS-1, fits over the emitter head and the sensor window
of the controller component.

INSTALLATION SETUP #1:
Home Theater \ Multi-room Controller

The setup below shows two IR signals connected to a
single source. This allows the source to be controlled from
two areas. One mono plug goes to the connecting block.
The other mono plug is connected to the MRC44 Controller.

INSTALLATION SETUP #2:
Expanded Multi-room Controller

The setup below shows two MRAUDIO4X4 Controllers
connected in Expansion mode. Expansion mode doubles
the number of zones while using the same number of
sources. The benefit of the 282TP is that you only need to
place one emitter at each source. One mono plug is
connected to the ‘master’ controller. The other mono plug is
connected to the ‘slave’ controller. This application can
apply to the entire product line of Xantech controllers.
