Emergency Shutdown Wiring: To connect your fi re alarm or emergency management
system to the XPC, follow these steps.
1. From the fi re alarm unit or latching Emergency Shutoff
switch, wire the contacts to the fi rst pair of inputs on
the rear panel. Default is normally-open, but this can
be changed to normally-closed or monitored-loop in
setup (see Ch. 5)
2. When the contacts change state, all circuits that have
been selected for E. Shutoff will cycle to OFF.
Figure 4-1: Emergency shutdown

3. When the contacts change state all circuits that were
ON when E. Shutoff was activated will return to the ON
state if “Enable Recovery” is selected (Ch. 5).

recommended that the user consult with the network
administrator before changing these values.
The IP, Subnet and Gateway addresses are only used in the
following situations:
• When DHCP is disabled
• When DHCP is enabled, but there is no DHCP server
available on the network
• When the XPC provides DHCP addresses
If DHCP is enabled and available on the network, all these
values will be obtained from the DHCP server.
If DHCP is disabled and a static address is used, save
changes and then press “Reset RPC” or the reset button on
the controller to apply changes.

DMX
Streaming ACN E1.31
For DMX operation use the following steps:
The XPC allows up to four different sets of DMX starting
addresses within a single universe.
In the fi rst set, enter the fi rst circuit address. All
circuits need to be assigned addresses manually. Do
this by clicking on each circuit in the order you would
like them to be addressed. If you need to skip an
address or group of addresses, simply create a new
zone and enter the desired starting address. If you
would like the XPC to automatically assign circuits to
consecutive addresses. you may change that in the
For sACN operation use the following steps:
The XPC allows up to four different universes with
sACN operation.
First, assign a number to the universe.
In the fi rst set, enter the fi rst individual circuit address.
All circuits need to be assigned addresses manually.
Do this by clicking on each circuit in the order you
would like them to be addressed. If you need to skip
an address or group of addresses, simply create a new
zone and enter the desired starting address. If you
would like the XPC to automatically assign circuits to
consecutive addresses. you may change that in the
“Panels” tab.
Please note that selecting sACN/DMX control for a
circuit or zone, will disable web browser or contact
closure control for that circuit/zone. Although,
circuit/zone status may still be monitored by web
browser or smartphone.
DMX and sACN are exclusive and cannot be used on
the same controller at the same time. Either can be
used to control circuits in zones while other zones are
controlled by IP commands or contact closures.

7. For sequenced operation, select a delay time from
the dropdown. Circuits in grouped zones toggle
in 25ms intervals. (Figure 5-11) Delay time is
the amount of time after a circuit changes state,
before the new circuit in sequence changes state.

Checksum (rev changed from 1.1.3; 1.1.3 supported old protocol)
If system is in Emergency Override mode, it replies to
circuit, zone or event on/off command with emergency
override response
0xB0, 0xCB, 0xF0
Checksum is optional. It is calculated as a sum of all bytes
of the message starting with start byte and ending with
TCP/IP PROTOCOL
TCP/IP communications and control via a third party
control system is facilitated by the use of the HTTP GET
command. In the example below, GET= the XPC’s IP
address
Example of GET command:
GET /p2.XPC?IPB002=1
Circuit Control = B
Zone Control = Z
Three modes of control are:
Circuit control = “B” Zone control = “Z” Event Control =
“E”
Refer to LynTec XPC browser set-up for circuit
numbering
GET /p2.XPC?IPB002=1
This control string will turn circuit #2 on.
GET /p2.XPC?IPB002=0
This control string will turn circuit #2 off.
Control of up to 167 circuits (4 panel system) is
possible.
Confi gure your zones (circuit groups) using the LynTec
XPC browser set-up when connected to the LynTec XPC
panel.
GET /p2.XPC?IPZ002=1
This control string will turn zone #2 on.
GET /p2.XPC?IPZ002=0
This control string will turn zone #2 off.

Appendix A - Telnet and HTTP Protcols
Events Control = E Events include:
Event 1 = “All Circuits ON”
Event 2 = “All Circuits OFF”
Event 3 = “Hurry OFF” zips all circuits off fast.
Event 4 = “EO” Emergency override (status only)
Event 5 = “Audio Timer” (NA) (status only)
Event 6 = “BO” Brown-Out (status only
Event 7 = “DMX/sACN”
Event 8 = “EL” Emergency Lighting
Verifi cation Scheme:
The following GET command will return the current status
of all circuits, zones and events in the XPC system.
GET /p2.XPC
The system will return the following:
circuits=10110111111111111111
zones=111111111011
events=1000000
The above return is displaying the status of a 20 circuit
circuits system in which all are presently ON, with the
exceptions of circuit #2 and circuit #5, which are OFF.
The above return is also showing the status of 12 zones,
all are ON with the exception of zone #10, which is OFF.
The events return is showing that event #1 is active = “All
Circuits ON”
Status returns for Circuits: Status returns for Zones
and Events:
0 = OFF 0 = OFF
1 = ON 1 = ON
2 = Circuit Tripped (panels
2 = Processing
only)
3 = Failure
4 = Manual On (panels only)
5 = Empty
