CSPLCD POWER SUPPLY AND INPUT/OUTPUT WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

The SmartPad LCD can be interfaced in numerous fashions; Standard Xantech IR Bus, RS232, Direct Connect to CM8X8/MRC88, External IR Input, and Local IR (Emitter Output). The following sections below address each of these wiring configurations.

OWER SUPPLY &STANDARD XANTECH IR OUTPUT BUS WIRING:

(Figure 3-19)

A 4-Termianl WECO connector is provided with the CSPLCD for the +16VDC, GND, STATUS, and IR OUT connections. For convenience of wiring, it is recommended that the Power Supply and IR Connecting Block be placed at the same location although this is not required. If placed in the same location, 4-Conductor 18AWG is recommended for ease of wiring.

Power Supply Wiring:

The SmartPad LCD series requires a 16VDC Power Supply (Xantech Model #SPLCDPS1).

This is a 16VDC Power Supply @ 1.5A and is sufficient for providing power for one CSPLCD unit.

Page: 16 SmartPad LCD¥

Connect the 2.1mm Coaxial plug of the power supply into the 16VDC input of SPLCD Connecting Block (Model #SPLCDCB10).

IR Wiring:

Wire 4-Conductor 18AWG from the CSPLCD’s IR OUT, GND, STATUS (optional) and +16VDC terminals back to the appropriate terminals of the SPLCD Connecting Block. See Figure 8 for wiring examples.

Caution: Remember, the STATUS output can be either an Input (5-30VDC from remote device) to

trigger a Macro within the CSPLCD give LED indication of a unit or Zones power status, or it can be an OUTPUT (+12VDC from the CSPLCD) to trigger some other external device. This is important to note before STATUS wiring is made between the CSPLCD and the other device. DO NOT CONNECT AN OUTPUT TO ANOTHER DEVICES OUTPUT!

XTERNAL IR INPUT WIRING:

(Figure 3 – 20)

A 4-Terminal WECO connector is provided for convenient wiring of external IR Receivers (780-90, 291-10, 490-90, etc…) to the CSPLCD display. IR commands received here will be rebroadcast and passed out the Xantech IR Bus of the CSPLCD (Fig. 3 – 19). RC68+ commands received here (of the proper Code Group) can trigger internal IR or RS232 Macros programmed into the CSPLCD display.

x +12VDC Output: This is a voltage regulated +12VDC output signal derived internal to the CSPLCD unit

from the 16VDC supply voltage. Use this output to power the external IR Receiver. The 12VDC output can power a load of up to 100mA maximum (80mA effective load).

Caution: This is a 12VDC OUTPUT only. Do not connect a 12V power source to this point. This is

only an OUTPUT to power an external IR Receiver.
