284M
DUAL MOUSE EMITTER
DESCRIPTION
The 284M Mouse Emitters, Fig. 1, each contain a
tiny infrared LED housed in a miniature, mouse
shaped, black appearing, injection molded plastic
shell. They emit IR (infrared) control signals sent

INSTALLATION
Fig. 1
ATTACHING THE EMITTERS TO IR SENSOR WINDOWS
• Each emitter has a clear adhesive layer on the bottom flat surface of the shell (Fig. 2).
• Simply peel off the adhesive protective cover and stick the emitter to the center of the IR sensor window
on the controlled component's front panel. (See Fig. 3a). If you
remove the emitter for any reason, it may be necessary to replace the
adhesive with a fresh piece of the 2-sided tape (supplied) to restore
best adhesion.

• 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 window location.
• Since the Emitter Shell is transparent to infrared, it allows IR to pass

through to control the component from a hand-held remote as well as

ATTACHING THE EMITTERS TO OTHER LOCATIONS
• The high output from the curved top side of the
emitter (Fig. 2) 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

CAUTION: Cabinet door locations (Fig. 3b) will
usually result in interruption of the IR control

BLACK (IR OPAQUE) MOUSE SHIELD.
• An optional shield, available from Xantech as model MS-1, fits over both the 284M mouse emitter shell
and the sensor window of the controlled component. It prevents unwanted external IR signals from
passing through or leaking past it.
• The MS-1 also prevents IR from the 284M from radiating backward into the IR sensors of other
components.
• It is especially useful for zone controlled applications where you want the equipment controlled
only by
the 284Ms that are fastened over the component IR sensors.

of MS-1 as needed (see text).
Install as follows:
1. Before removing the adhesive covers from the shield or the emitter, fit them together and accurately
position them over the IR sensor window of the component.
2. Neatly trim the shield (if needed) being sure that it overlaps the extremities of the equipment’s IR
sensor window.
3. Remove adhesive covers from the shield and the emitter and stick them onto the IR sensor window.
CONNECTING THE EMITTERS
• Simply insert the mono mini-plug of the 284M emitters into the "EMITTERS" or "OUT" jacks on any of the
Xantech Connecting Blocks or Controllers.
• CAUTION:
Connecting Blocks.
DO NOT plug them into the IN/OUT or HIGH OUT jacks on the 791-44 and 790-00
To do so will destroy the
emitters!
• Fig. 5 illustrates a typical basic system using the
284M emitters.
