ADDRESSABLE INFRARED ROUTER
Fig. 1
Model RT8 Addressable IR Router
The RT8 Router is a ONE-IN/EIGHT-OUT IR switcher. It directs an infrared control signal to any one of 8
output ports or all 8 as a group. It is intended for selective control of up to 8 TV monitors (or any other
A/V product) from control locations using Xantech IR Receivers and /or SmartPads. The "I" and "G" output
ports provide the ability to drive LEDs placed at each controlled device location so that you can see which
device is being addressed at any given time. The RT8 responds to the Xantech RC68+ (or RC68)
commands and is Code Group changeable by the installer.

ADDRESSABLE IR ROUTER
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
1. Input Terminals: One IR RCVR INPUT on a 4-terminal plug-in connector permits connection of any
Xantech IR Receiver, Keypad, Controller, etc. The Gs and IR IN terminals connect to the floated signal
input of the internal opto isolator. Allows ground isolation when needed.
2. IR RCVR INPUT LED: Green indicator LED blinks with the presence of any incoming IR commands.
3. Output Terminals: Eight IR "O" and "G" emitter outputs and eight "I" and "G" routing indicator outputs
are located on eight 4-terminal plug-in connectors.
The "I" and "G" routing indicator outputs are activated with the selected route. They are current limited
to 10 mA, allowing the direct connection of an LED without the need for an outboard current limiting
resistor.
4. LED Routing Indicators:
These eight red LEDs, located near each of the 4-terminal outputs, come on with the selected route.
They
do not blink with signal.
5. Power Jack: 2.1mm coaxial type. 12V DC @ 200mA. Works with one 786-00 Power Supply (not
included) if powered separately from IR receivers and keypads. Otherwise, use a 782-00 Power
Supply.
