INSTALLATION
Figure 2
is a typical multi-room installation where X10 control is part of the
system. A mixture of Xantech SmartPad3 keypads and IR receivers are the
source of the IR control signals for both the AV products and X10. The
systems is configured as follows:
Note
: Refer to your X10 manual for proper system configuration of X10
components.
1. Using 2-conductor cable (22AWG up to 600’, 20AWG up to 2000’ and
18AWG up to 5000’), connect PWR GND, and +12VDC connections
from the
IR-X10
module to the appropriate terminals on the connecting
block.
2. Using a Mono Mini-Plug to Stripped Ends 2-Conductor cable (Xantech
PN#06015900, not included), plug the Mini-Plug end into an available
Emitter out on the Connector Block and wire the ‘Stripped End' in IR IN
(White Stripe) and IR GND on the
IR-X10
.
Note:
If using Emitter Out is not practical, in
Step #1
use 3-
Conductor (22AWG up to 600’, 20AWG up to 2000’ and 18AWG
up to 5000’) to connect IR IN, PWR GND, and +12VDC
connections from the
IR-X10
module to the appropriate terminals
on the connecting block. You
must also
connect a jumper wire
from IR GND to PWR GND on the IR-X10.
3. Connect one end of the furnished RJ11 cable to the output port of the
IR-X10
module and connect the other end into the
X10 Power Line
Interface
(not included).
4. Plug
the
X10 Power Line Interface
into an un-switched AC Line outlet.
5. The Dragon Drop-IR software is used to program learning remotes
(used with the IR receivers), in addition to the SmartPads, with the IR-
X10 control commands.
Note
: The Xantech RC68+ (or RC68) Programmer Remote
cannot
be
used to program IR-X10 commands! Use of Dragon Drop-IR is
explained in the next section.
