EXP9 Panel Features and Functions (shown with all nine zones installed)
EXP9 PANEL DESCRIPTIONS
1. ZONE IR INPUTS. Each zone of the EXP9 is individually controlled through these ports. As with the
ZPR68-10, three of the four screw terminals on each plug-in connector are for connection, via the
standard Xantech 3-wire bus, to any Xantech IR receiver, keypad (except Model 598), or controller.
The remaining terminal, STATUS, provides a control output of +12 volts that turns on and off with a
zone INPUT (ON) and OFF commands to drive status indicators and/or the voltage sensing ports of
power amplifiers or AC power strips. The connector markings are defined as follows: +12 V, GND,
STATUS and IR IN.
2. ZONE IR OUTPUTS. These nine 3.5mm mono mini jacks are for the connection of emitters to control
components dedicated to any zone.
3. Zone IR Indicator LED's. These nine LED's, one for each zone, flash to indicate when a zone is
receiving IR commands from an IR receiver, keypad, etc.
4. I/O PORT. These multi-pin connector jacks provide an input/output port. This allows the EXP9 to be
linked with a ZPR68-10, via two large ribbon cables (included), to provide up to 15 zones of operation.
The EXP9 includes 9 slots, allowing zone XCARDs (expansion PCB cards) to be added, one by one
in the field, or purchased already installed from the factory, for zones 7 through 15.
5. STATUS DRIVER PINS. These pins allow connection to STATUS LED's located in an optional rack
mount panel. The LED's are driven from the individual status lines of each zone (9 total for the EXP9),
allowing visual indication of zone ON/OFF condition at the front of the rack panel.
6. ZONE OUTPUTS. The ZONE OUTPUTS consist of up to nine sets of audio/video RCA type jacks
- one set for each zone. The L and R AUDIO jacks are connected to the appropriate Left & Right input
jacks on a main power amplifier for the zone and the VIDEO jack to the composite Video input on a
zone TV monitor or modulator. Any source connected to the SOURCE INPUTS on a connected
ZPR68-10 can be switched to these ZONE OUTPUTS when the zone receives an RC68 INPUT
command at the ZONE IR INPUTS.
7. POWER SUPPLY Connector. 6-Pin DIN jack permits connection of a high current multi-voltage AC
power supply (included with each EXP9).
