MODEL

286D

Blink-IR™ Dual Designer Emitter

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DESCRIPTION

The 286D Dual Blink-IR Designer Emitter contains small infrared LED’s

housed in a miniature, designer styled, black appearing, injection molded

plastic shell. Unlike other emitters, the 286D emits visible red light in

addition to IR (infrared) control signals when activated by IR commands

sent to it by IR receivers or other Xantech controllers. The emitters of the

286D are wired in series and are designed to be installed directly on the IR

sensor windows of the controlled components.

INSTALLATION

ATTACHING THE EMITTERS TO IR SENSOR WINDOWS

• Each emitter has a clear adhesive layer on the bottom flat surface of

the shell.

• Simply peel off the adhesive cover and affix the emitter to the center

of the IR sensor window on the controlled component’s front panel.

• 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 sensor window location.

• Double-sided adhesive tape is included. If you move the emitter to a

different component, use this tape to replace the current adhesive

layer for the best adhesion.

• The shell, though dark in appearance, is transparent to infrared light,

allowing commands from a handheld remote control to pass through

it. This permits direct control of the equipment from a handheld

remote as well as from the 286D.

BLACK (IR OPAQUE) EMITTER SHIELD

• An optional shield, available from Xantech as model 28DES, fits over

the emitter head and the sensor window of the controlled component.

It prevents unwanted external IR signals from passing through or

leaking past it.

• Use the 28DES when you want the equipment to respond only to the

286D, such as in zone controlled systems.

CONNECTING THE EMITTERS

• Simply insert the mono mini plug of the 286D 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 286D visible 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.
