Xantech 686-10

2686-10

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 adjustable code groups, the user may inadvertently alter the installed configurations.

•Also, since the user will require IR commands from other brands of equipment to control the total system,

in addition to those of the 686-10, all commands should be consolidated into one learning device, for ease

of use.

APPLICABLE RC68 BUTTON DESCRIPTIONS

(With the "D" Overlay. Refer to Fig. 2)

Speaker Relay Numbers (1 ~ 6).

These numbers identify the row of button commands

that apply to each Speaker Relay on the 686-10.

Code Group Numbers.

The 686-10 is capable of being set to 30 different IR

code groups. The code groups are identified by the

numbers and letters that are on the face of each

button.

NOTE: When shipped from the factory, the 686-10 is

set to code group number 98.

Be sure to set the RC68+ to the same number!

It may be necessary to change the 686-10 to a

different code group if it is used in a common IR bus

controlled system with other Xantech 686-10's, to

avoid mutual interaction.

Refer to the RC68+ instructions for code group

setting details and procedures!

Speaker Relay Command Modes.

Depending on the installation, you may want to have the 686-10 respond to IR commands in different ways.

The basic modes of operation for each speaker relay on the 686-10 are as follows:

OFF -Turns the selected speaker relay OFF.

ON - Turns the selected speaker relay ON.

These dedicated OFF and ON (paired) commands are helpful when sending IR commands "blind" from

secondary rooms when you have no visual aid for status.

TGL - (Toggle Mode) - Switches the selected speaker relay ON when the TGL command is sent and OFF

when it is sent again. If the relay is ON, it will turn OFF-- if it is OFF it will turn ON when the code is

sent.

MMT- (Momentary Mode) - Turns the selected speaker relay ON when the code is sent. The ON condition

remains

only

as long as the MMT code is being sent. The relay is normally OFF.

GP-ON (Group ON) - This button (labeled F8 on the button face) causes the 686-10 to turn all speaker relays

ON at the same time. GP-ON overrides all individual settings.

GP-OFF (Group OFF) - This button (labeled D8 on the button face) causes the 686-10 to turn all 6 speaker

relays OFF (or any selected single relay).

NOTE: OFF, ON and TGL (toggle) operation will still operate for any individual speaker relay after

Group ON is executed.
