RC68+ PROGRAMMER / REMOTE CONTROL  
TheRC68+(orRC68) Programmer(availableseparately)containsallthecommandsnecessarytooperate  
the 680-10 (see Fig. 2).  
• 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 680-10.  
NOTE: The RC68+ codes operate several other Xantech models as well, such as the RS41AV, CC12,  
ZPR68, etc. Therefore, only the button descriptions that apply to the operation of the 680-10 are  
listed in the Button Descriptions section. All others should be ignored.

NOTE: The 680-10 should normally be plugged into an unswitched AC outlet. However, if the power to  
the 680-10 is turned off by a power failure, or other means, the internal memory will retain the last selected  
switched condition for each of the outlets.  
INSTALLATION  
Fig. 3 illustrates an installation where a 680-10 Remote AC Switcher, along with a 599-00 Pulsed Switching  
Module and a 590-00 Programmable Controller, provides the AC power management in a 4-zone system.  
It allows each zone AV receiver to be turned ON and OFF from their respective remote rooms with separate  
ON and OFF IR commands. This permits exclusive ON/OFF AC power switching without the need for  
knowing status. It also allows the common sources to be switched ON when the first zone AV receiver is  
turned on and OFF only when the last zone AV receiver is turned off. The system in Fig. 3 is configured  
as follows:  
1. The AC cords of the zone AV receivers are plugged into outlets #1 through #4, respectively, on the  
680-10. Each AV receiver's power switch is left at the ON position.  
NOTE: You must use AV receivers that remember their ON condition when their power cords are  
unplugged. (Most AV receivers now have this capability).  
2. Outlets#1through#4onthe680-10aresentseparateONandOFFcommands. Thismeansthatoutlet  
#1 will turn ON and OFF with the ON and OFF commands from row #1 on the RC68+ Programmer.  
Similarly, outlet #2 will turn ON and OFF with the ON and OFF commands from row #2 on the RC68+,  
and so on. Refer to Fig. 2.  
3. In order to obtain power ON/OFF DC reference signals from each zone, a 786-00 power supply is  
plugged into an AC outlet (switched or un-switched) on the back of each AV receiver. These signals  
are paralleled and applied to the IN+ and IN– terminals of a 599-00 Pulsed Switching Module. The 599  
then passes momentary ON and OFF pulses to input ports #1 and #2 on the 590 Programmable  
Controller.  
4. The 590 input ports #1 and #2 are programmed with a sequence of commands. The #1 port, when  
activated with an ON pulse from the 599, causes the 590 to output a sequence of IR power ON  
commands for the Satellite Receiver, the VCR and the RC68+ ON command (from row #6 on the  
RC68+) for outlet #6 on the 680-10.  
Similarly, the #2 port, when activated with an OFF pulse from the 599, causes the 590 to output a  
sequenceofpowerOFFcommandsfortheSatelliteReceiver,theVCRandtheRC68+OFFcommand  
for outlet #6 on the 680-10.  
See the 590 instructions for programming procedures.  
CAUTION: If you find that the common source equipment does not turn ON consistently (or not at all),  
add a delay of approx. 1 second at the beginning of both the ON and OFF sequences in the 590. This  
can be done with one or two "dummy" commands (commands that do not operate any of the functions  
on the equipment in the installation).  
Without the delay, the initial ON or OFF command from the handhelds (or keypads) for the 680-10 to  
actuate the zone AV receivers may not have cleared the 680-10 sufficiently before the next command  
(from the 590) arrives to turn on the #6 outlet for the common source equipment.  
5. The IR output from the 590 (O and G) is connected to one of the zone inputs (IN and G) on the 795-  
20 Zone Controller. (Any one of the zone inputs can be used for this purpose). The 590 IR signal is  
then passed on to the 680-10 via one of the Common Emitter ports on the 795.  
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.

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-ON and GP-OFF commands 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  
12-20-00  
Rev.C  
may however, be placed in any orientation to accommodate the installation.
