• 1 screwdriver
• 1 plug 3 to 5 mm
• 1 plug 5 to 7 mm

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 reect 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 (le).
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
aix 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 ).
