  RC68 Programmer

• IR Command System:

-

The RT8 output ports are selectively addressed using eight commands from the RC68+ (or RC68)
handheld programmer. A 9th command turns all 8 ports ON as a group and a 10th turns them OFF.

-

The factory preset IR Code Group is 58.  It can be changed by the installer, when needed, using the
RC68+ Programmer.

-

IR carrier frequency range:  30 kHz to 100 kHz.

• Dimensions:  9-7/8" x 2-7/8" x 1-3/8" (251mm x 73mm x 35mm)

• Weight:  0.75 lb. (0.34kg).

RC68+ PROGRAMMER / REMOTE CONTROL

The RC68+ Programmer (available separately) contains all the commands necessary to operate the RT8
(see Fig. 2).

• You will need it to program universal learning devices such as the Xantech URC-1 learning remote, the

Xantech SmartPads, the 590 Programmable Controller, the 710 Fone Link, etc., with commands that
operate the RT8.

• NOTE: The RC68+ codes operate several other Xantech models as well, such as the RT16-10, CC12,

ZPR68, etc.  Therefore, only the button descriptions that apply to the operation of the RT8 are listed.
All others should be ignored.

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 installer configurations.

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

addition to those of the RT8, all commands should be consolidated into one learning device, for easy  use.

APPLICABLE RC68+ BUTTON DESCRIPTIONS 

(use "C" overlay, Fig.3)

Routing Commands (1 through 8).

The IR commands from these buttons cause the RT8 to route commands to any of the 8 corresponding
IR outputs.  For example, pressing button 5 (la-
beled 00 on the button face) on the RC68+ will
cause the RT8 to route the IR signal through to the
number 5 output.

NOTE:  The RT8 will not respond to buttons 9
through 16.

GP-ON (group ON).

This button (labeled 60 on the button face) causes
the RT8 to route IR commands to all 8 outputs at
the same time.

GP-OFF (group OFF).

This button (labeled 88 on the button face) causes
the RT8 to shut off all of the 8 outputs.

Code Group Numbers.

The RT8 is capable of being set to 55 different IR
code groups.  If the RT8 is used in a common IR
bus system with other Xantech RT8's, it will be
necessary to change the code group on one or
more of them to avoid mutual interaction.
