•  MX-Proximity-Box

•  1 screwdriver

•  1 plug 3 to 5 mm

•  1 plug 5 to 7 mm

•  1 MxBus cable 0.5 m/1.64 ft

•  2 washers 4.3 mm dia.

•  2 stainless steel wood screws 4x40 mm

•  2 screw anchors S6

•  1 security bit TX10

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:

80° horizontally

34° vertically

2. Suitable materials for concealed installation
This section is only relevant if you want to install the 

MX-Proximity-Box behind any materials.
It is not possible to install the MX-Proximity-Box behind 

some materials since they absorb or reflect the radar 

waves (e.g., metal or metal-coated surfaces). Other 

materials are better suited since they absorb radar 

waves only slightly (e.g., uncoated glass, plastics, 

various wood-based materials, drywall).
It is highly recommended to test the detection 

area before installing by covering the front of the 

MX-Proximity-Box with the material you want to use!

3. Attach the box
Attach the MX-Proximity-Box at the mounting posi-

tion with the cable ports pointing downwards. Next, 

remove the three security screws of the box cover using 

the enclosed security bit TX10 and remove the cover.

4. 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 diame-

ter). When using wires without sheath, strip the insulation 

of the wires for 5 mm and push the wires through the 

eight-wire plug (left). 
When using a cable with jacket (e.g., J-Y(St)Y), remove 

the pre-installed eight-wire plug and insert the appro-

priate cable plug (3 to 5 mm or 5 to 7 mm). Press the 

rubber plug into the casing in such a way that the 

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.

5. 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). 

6. Mount the cover
Mount the cover back onto the MX-Proximity-Box and 

affix it using the cover screws.

7. Connect the MxBus wires to the opposite side
Connect the MxBus wires as described in the corre-

sponding 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 ft).
