286M
BLACK (IR OPAQUE) MOUSE SHIELD
• An optional shield, available from Xantech as model MS-1, fits over the 286M shells and the sensor
window (Fig. 3) of the controlled component. It prevents unwanted external IR signals from passing
through or leaking past it.
• Use the MS-1 when you want the equipment to respond only to the 286M, such as in zone controlled
systems.
• Install it according to the instructions that come with the MS-1.
CONNECTING THE EMITTERS
• Simply insert the mono mini plug of the 286M 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 286M will control two devices. If only one is used, hide the extra emitter. It can be used in the future
if an extra device is added.
• DO NOT CUT the extra emitter wire in an attempt to remove it. The two emitters are wired in series. Cutting
or removing one emitter will prevent the other from working.
• Since the 286M emitters show visible red light,
they 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 or the interfering source to eliminate or
reduce the random blinking. The more the ran-
dom blinking is reduced, the better the system
will function.

286M emitters
