Fig. 3 A typical application of the 680-10 for AC switching in a 4-zone system.

6.The common source components that can remember their ON condition when their power cords are unplugged, are all powered from the #6 outlet on the 680-10. Those that cannot, such as the VCR and the Satellite Receiver shown in Fig. 3, must be plugged into unswitched outlets and receive their IR power commands from the 590 through the 795 and the common emitters.

7.The common sources are therefore switched ON when the first AV receiver is turned ON, and will remain on until the last AV receiver is turned OFF.

8.Finally, ON and OFF IR commands from the RC68+, for outlets #1 through #4, are "taught" into a learning remote, such as a Xantech URC-1, and into the Xantech Smart Pad, along with all other desired system commands, for total system operation.

9.To embellish the system further, you could add the GP-ONand GP-OFFcommands from the RC68+ programmer to the keypads or the URC-1 remotes so that all zones may be turned ON or OFF from any zone location.

See the 795-20 Installation Instructions for additional information regarding zoned systems

MOUNTING

The 680-10 has four attached rubber feet for stand-alone mounting. Underwriters Laboratories defines the 680-10 to be a moveable device and therefore it is not to be fastened down permanently to any surface. It may however, be placed in any orientation to accommodate the installation.
