ZPR68-10
• Zone STATUS and CO (common control) Outputs. An ON/OFF +12 V DC output is provided from each
zone and one common to all zones. When a zone(s) is turned ON, these outputs can drive remote room
ON/OFF STATUS indicators and/or drive the voltage sensing inputs (CI) of the PA1235 or controlled AC
power strips for power management of zone amplifiers and common sources.
• RC68+ IR Remote/Programmer. Available separately, the RC68+ (or RC68) includes all the IR control
codes necessary for the setup and operation of the ZPR68-10. Normally, the RC68+ commands would
be "taught" into Xantech learning keypads, remotes, etc., for eventual use by the client.
• Zone expansion, in one zone increments, is provided by a separately available expansion module, Model
EXP9, and zone PCB cards.

Fig. 3 ZPR68-10 Panel Features and Functions
1. COMMON IR LEVEL DIP Switches. These DIP switches set the output power level to HI or LO for
emitters connected to the COMMON IR OUTPUT jacks. See item 4, under INSTALLATION, for
details.
2. COMMON IR INDICATOR LED. This flashes when any IR commands are being sent to the
COMMON IR OUTPUT jacks (even when emitters are not plugged in).
3. COMMON IR OUTPUTS. These eight 3.5mm mono mini jacks are for the connection of emitters to
control source components that are common to all zones.
4. ZONE CONTROL - IR INPUTS. Each zone of the ZPR68-10 is individually controlled through these
ports. 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 the zone
ON and OFF commands to drive status indicators and/or the voltage sensing ports of power amplifiers,
such as the CI Inputs of a PA1235 or AC power strips. The connector markings are defined as follows:
+12 V, GND, STATUS and IR IN (IR signal).
5. ZONE IR OUTPUTS. These six 3.5mm mono mini jacks are for the connection of emitters to control
components dedicated to any zone.
6. Zone IR Indicator LED's. These six LED's, one for each zone, flash to indicate when a zone is
receiving IR commands from any IR receiver, keypad, etc.
