ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL

PROGRAMMING RC68 ON/OFF TRIGGER COMMANDS

As noted at the beginning of the Programming Section, one of the ISM4 control options has the ISM4 react to Xantech RC68 IR Commands for Discrete Power ON/OFF or Toggle Power ON/OFF control of Source 1. When using the RC68 Commands, when the ON Button on the system remote is pressed, it will issue the RC68 ON Command. The ISM4 will ‘see’ the RC68 ON Command and output the native Source 1 device Power or ON command via the Source 1 IR Emitter, (if Source 1 is OFF). In this application, the Power or ON Command for the System Reference Device (Source 1) was pre-programmed into the ISM4. (The same programming and functionality would then also be true for programming the RC68 OFF Command. RC68 Toggle Power is programmed in a similar manner.) To Program RC68 ON/OFF Trigger Commands:

RC68 Discrete ON/OFF Trigger Command Programming

Program

1.Program the ISM4 Source 1 ON Macro as described in the Programming Macros Section, programming the IR Command from the native remote for the System Reference Device, (Source 1) Power or ON Command to the Source 1 ON Macro, Command Structure 1. IF THE POWER OR ON COMMAND FOR SOURCE 1 IS NOT PROGRAMMED TO THIS LOCATION, THE ISM4 WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

2.Program the IR Command from the native remote for the System Reference Device, (Source 1) Power or OFF Command to the Source 1 OFF Macro, Command Structure 1. IF THE POWER OR OFF COMMAND FOR SOURCE 1 IS NOT PROGRAMMED TO THIS LOCATION, THE ISM4 WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

3.Set the RC68 Remote to Code Group 10.

4.Teach the RC68 Command from Button 00 to the System Remote Button that will be used to turn the system ON.

5.Teach the RC68 Command from Button 40 to the System Remote Button that will be used to turn the system OFF.

Test ON

6.With all sources, sensors and emitters connected to the ISM4, and with all sources turned OFF, test the

system by pointing the System Remote toward the ISM4 or connected IR Receiver and press the button with the RC68 ON Command. The System Reference Device (Source 1) and Sources 2-4should all turn ON.

Test OFF

7.With all sources turned ON, test the system by pointing the System Remote toward the ISM4 or connected IR Receiver and press the button with the RC68 OFF Command. The System Reference Device (Source 1) and Sources 2-4should all turn OFF.

8.If any functions were ‘missed’, test the individual ON or OFF Macro for that Source. Re-learn IR Commands and adjust delays as necessary until the system powers up correctly.

RC68 Toggle ON/OFF Trigger Command Programming

Program

1.Program the ISM4 Source 1 ON Macro as described in the Programming Macros Section, programming the IR Command from the native remote for the System Reference Device, (Source 1) ON Command to the Source 1 ON Macro, Command Structure 1. IF THE ON COMMAND FOR SOURCE 1 IS NOT PROGRAMMED TO THIS LOCATION, THE ISM4 WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

2.Program the IR Command from the native remote for the System Reference Device, (Source 1) OFF Command to the Source 1 OFF Macro, Command Structure 1. IF THE OFF COMMAND FOR SOURCE 1 IS NOT PROGRAMMED TO THIS LOCATION, THE ISM4 WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

3.Set the RC68 Remote to Code Group 10 (One, Zero).

4.Teach the RC68 Command from Button 80 to the System Remote Button that will be used to turn the system ON/OFF.

Test ON

5.With all sources, sensors and emitters connected to the ISM4, and with all sources turned OFF, test the system by pointing the System Remote toward the ISM4 or connected IR Receiver and press the button

ISM4 specifications

The Xantech ISM4 is an innovative multi-zone audio distribution system designed to enhance the listening experience across various environments. This advanced model is particularly suitable for residential and commercial applications, where high-quality audio distribution is crucial.
