282M
MOUSE EMITTER
DESCRIPTION
The 282M Mouse Emitter contains a tiny infrared
LED housed in a miniature, mouse shaped, black
appearing, injection molded plastic shell. It emits
IR (infrared) control signals sent to it by IR receiv-
ers or other Xantech controllers. The 282M can
be installed directly on the IR sensor window of
the controlled device or other suitable location.
Refer to Fig. 3.
INSTALLATION
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 manu-
facturer, for the exact IR window location.
• Since the Emitter Shell is transparent to infrared, it allows you to control the component from a hand-held
remote as well as with the 282M.
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 be-
low, above or in front of the controlled compo-
nents for a more pleasing aesthetic appear-
ance.
• Choose a location on a cabinet shelf, door,
etc., as shown in Figs. 3b, c and d. Be sure
the edge of the component does not block the
IR signal (Figs. 3c and d).
CAUTION: Cabinet door locations (Fig. 3b)
will usually result in interruption of the IR
control signals to the components when the
door is open.
