INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
680-10
REMOTE AC SWITCHER
The Model 680-10 is an IR Remote Controlled AC Switcher with six AC outlet receptacles. It accepts RC68+
(or RC68) IR Programmer commands coming from any Xantech IR receiver, keypad, or controller directwired to its IR Input port. Switching modes of ON, OFF, Toggle, Momentary and Group are possible. Each
outlet is switched ON or OFF by a high current electromechanical relay for higher reliability than solid state
switching methods.
Sequential ON commands for each outlet are possible when used in conjunction with learning devices, such
as Xantech URC-1 remotes, Smart Pads, or 590 controllers.
Since the 680-10 has 30 installer-adjustable IR code groups, it allows multiple 680-10's to be individually
controlled when used in the same system.

RC68+ PROGRAMMER / REMOTE CONTROL
The RC68+ (or RC68) Programmer (available separately) contains all the commands necessary to operate
the 680-10 (see Fig. 2).
• You will need it to program universal learning devices such as the Xantech URC-1 learning remote, the
Xantech Smart Pads, the 590 Programmable Controller, the 710 Fone Link, etc., with commands that
operate the 680-10.
• NOTE: The RC68+ codes operate several other Xantech models as well, such as the RS41AV, CC12,
ZPR68, etc. Therefore, only the button descriptions that apply to the operation of the 680-10 are
listed in the Button Descriptions section. 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.
• Also, since the user will require IR commands from other brands of equipment to control the total system,
in addition to those of the 680-10, all commands should be consolidated into one learning device, for ease
of use.
APPLICABLE RC68+ BUTTON DESCRIPTIONS
(With the "D" Overlay. Refer to Fig. 2)
Outlet Numbers (1 through 6).
These numbers identify the row of button commands that apply to each AC Outlet on the 680-10.
Code Group Numbers.
The 680-10 is capable of being set to 30 different IR code groups. The code groups are identified by
the numbers and letters that are on the face of each button.
NOTE: When shipped from the factory, the 680-10 is set to code group number 88.
Be sure to
set the RC68+ to the same number!
It may be necessary to change the 680-10 to a different code group if it is used in a common IR bus
controlled system with other Xantech 680-10's, to avoid mutual interaction.
Refer to the RC68+
instructions for code group setting details and procedures!
Outlet Command Modes.
Depending on the installation, you may want to have the 680-10 respond to IR commands in different ways.
The basic modes of operation for each outlet on the 680-10 are as follows:
OFF -Turns the power OFF to the selected outlet.
ON - Turns the power ON to the selected outlet.
These dedicated OFF and ON commands are
helpful when sending power commands "blind"
from secondary rooms when you have no visual
aid for status.
TGL - (Toggle Mode) - Switches power ON to the
selected outlet when the TGL command is sent
and OFF when it is sent again. If the outlet is ON,
it will turn OFF-- if it is OFF it will turn ON when
the code is sent.
MMT- (Momentary Mode) - Turns the selected outlet
ON when the code is sent. The ON condition
remains only as long as the MMT code is being
sent. The outlet is normally OFF.
GP-ON (Group ON). - This button (labeled F8 on the
button face) causes the 680-10 to turn all 6 AC
outlets ON at the same time. GP-ON overrides
