RC68 PROGRAMMER / REMOTE CONTROL

The RC68+ (and the RC68) programmer (available separately) contains all the commands necessary to operate the RAT1.

You will need it to program universal learning devices such as the Xantech URC-1 learning remote, the Xantech Smart Pads, the 590 Programmable Controller, the 710 Fone Link, etc., with commands that operate the RAT1.

NOTE: The RC68+ codes operate several other Xantech models as well, such as the RS41AV, CC12, ZPR68, MIRV1, etc. Therefore, only the button descriptions that apply to the operation of the RAT1 are listed below. All others should be ignored.

CAUTION: While the RC68+ can be used as a handheld remote control, it is highly recommended it not be given to the final user for the following reasons:

Since it includes selectable code groups, the user may inadvertently alter the installer configurations.

Since the user will require IR commands from other brands of equipment to control the total system, in addition to those of the RAT1, all commands should be consolidated into one learning device for easy use.

APPLICABLE RC68+ BUTTON DESCRIPTIONS

1.IR Emitter Lens

2.Instant Volume Presets. These buttons allow direct preset activation of any of the 10 volume steps on the RAT1. Useful for "audio scene" ambiance settings for rooms or an instant partial mute action.

The relationship of the RC68 buttons to the RAT1 volume step positions is as follows:

RC68+ PROGRAMMER

3.VOLUME Up/Down buttons. Each individual press will cause the RAT1 to

increase or decrease volume level by one step, over a total of 10 steps. Each step causes a change of 3 to 6 dB. A maximum attenuation of 35 dB occurs at the lowest active step (#2). The lowest step (#1) switches the signal off. When buttons are held down, volume level changes continuously.

4.MUTE ON/OFF. Separate ON / OFF buttons mute and release the signal without knowing what the status is. This is very helpful in a remote room when all adjustments are made “blind” without any visual aid for status.

NOTE: Mute is released (turned off) when a VOLUME or Preset Level button is pressed, in addition to MUTE OFF.

5.Code Group Numbers. If more than one RAT1 is used on a common IR controlled bus, or is included with other Xantech products that respond to RC68+ commands, different Code Groups can be assigned, by the installer, to avoid mutual interaction. Refer to the RC68+ instructions for Code Group setting procedures.

NOTE: When shipped from the factory, the RAT1 is set to Code Group number 30. Be sure to set the RC68+ to the same number!
