is the next generation of the SmartPad2, the world's first wall mounted, IR learning,
3
programmable modular keypad system. It incorporates many unique features to accommodate the growing
needs of the fast moving custom installation marketplace.
UNIQUE FEATURES
• Eight different Key Modules are provided which dock into three different Base Modules. Over 50
keypad combinations are possible!
• One, two and three gang wall mounting options are available.
• Buttons are replaceable and interchangeable within the key module.
• A selection of buttons with commonly used markings are included with each key module. Many
specialized versions are also separately available from Xantech.
• Pre-labeled buttons do not require any tedious insertion of small icon key "caps".
• Up to 8 memory banks can be selected by source buttons with LED indicators.
• Two tiers of memory per button. 2nd tier is accessed by "Push and Hold". Applies to both source select
and control function keys.
• Sequence commands, including 1 to 30 second delays, can be programmed into any button (including
the 2nd tier) without using up button spaces anywhere else on the keypad.
• Status Input permits source buttons to light up with +5 to +30V representing a system power ON condition
as well as the selected source.
• Intelligent Power Management. Allows power commands to be sent only if the system or zone is Off,
thus preventing unintended shutdown when switching sources.
• IR Commands are "learned" directly from hand held remotes or by using Xantech's exclusiveDragon Drop-IR™ software.

• Network Cloning permits simultaneous transfer of programmed contents from one keypad to as many
as 16 keypads wired on the same IR bus (single zone network).
Cloning can also be done from one keypad to another, or from a "virtual" keypad created with Dragon
Drop-IR™, via the COM Port.
®
• Dragon Drop-IR™ (optional), a Windows
based program, permits rapid configuring, learning, duplica-
tion and filing of SmartPad3 programming.
• Speaker Relay permits local muting of speakers for single zone systems.
• Code Group and Bank TrackingProgramming permit specialized configurations.

KM8
The KM1F module can be used as a single-gang single-bank keypad or, with other source selection or
function modules, for 2 or 3-gang configurations. A selection of function buttons are included for function
control commands.
The KM1N is similar to the KM1F except it is intended for direct numeric entry of channels on DSS receivers,
disk/track selection on CD changers, etc. It can be used with other source or function modules for 2 or 3gang configurations. Numeric and some function buttons are included.
The KM2 includes 2 source (bank) keys and 10 function control keys. It can be used as a single-gang two-
source (bank) keypad or, with other function modules, in 2 or 3-gang configurations. A selection of source
and function buttons are included.
The KM4 and KM6 are similar to the KM2, except they have 4 source, 8 function and 6 source, 6 function
keys respectively. Again, they can be used in 2 or 3-gang configurations. A selection of source and
function buttons are included.
The KM8 includes 8 source and 4 function keys. Again, it can be used as a single-gang 8-source (bank)
keypad, or, with other function modules, for 2 or 3-gang configurations. A selection of source and function

EM110
The PM110 dual gang Programmable Module is the base module for programming all of the commands
and functions required for each installation. All programming, including sequences (macros), is done with
the PM110 (unless done with Dragon Drop-IR™).
Controllers
The LM110 Learning Module is intended for single gang applications and must receive its programming
from a PM110 or Dragon Drop IR™ system. Programs are transferred from the PM110 or Dragon Drop IR
to the LM110 with a 2-step transfer command.
The EM110 is a single gang Expansion Module. It has no memory and serves only to expand the number
of key functions for the PM110 in 3-gang configurations.

BASIC CONFIGURATIONS & PROGRAMMING
Now that we have a conceptual understanding of the basic SmartPad
system, let's dive right in and create
3
three basic module and button configurations and apply the applicable programming.
A Two Gang Configuration
Suppose a client wants to control an AM/FM stereo system from a remote room with one 2-gang keypad
and that he has the following equipment and system requirements:
1. An AM/FM receiver and 4 sources: TUNER (AM/FM), two CD changers and a cassette TAPE deck.
2. When a source button is pressed, the Smart Pad must turn on the AM/FM receiver and the associated
source.
3. The keypad must have the following control function commands for each source:
TUNER: Tuner Up/Down (scroll of preset stations), AM/FM (select).
CD 1 and CD 2: Play, Scan Forward/Reverse, Track Forward/Reverse, Disk+, Disk– (select), Pause,
Stop.
TAPE: Play Forward, Play Reverse, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause, Stop.
4. Speakers in the remote room must be mutable by using the relay in the SmartPad
This is the basic client specification for this application of the SmartPad
3.
3.
The next step is to determine what SmartPad3 modules and keypad buttons are required to perform this
job, as follows:
1. Since there are 4 sources, 4 banks will be required. We will need the KM4 for the first Key Module.
2. Since there are a good number of control functions to perform, we will need the KM1F for the second
Key Module.
3. Now, since this is a 2-gang configuration, we need a PM110 Base Module into which we plug the KM1F
and the KM4. Fig. 1 shows the basic configuration.
4. The next step is to determine exactly what buttons are required
to carry out the control functions needed.

5. We begin this process by assigning the Source buttons first;CD1,TUNER, CD2 and TAPE. See Fig. 2.
6. Next, we assign the function control buttons based on the list of
functions given on page 7.
NOTE: Most of the buttons for steps 5 and 6 are available in the

7. Now that all the buttons have been assigned (as shown in Fig. 2), it is necessary to insert them into
the KM1F and the KM4 module shells. Then insert the completed key modules into the PM110. See
page 18 for Button and Module Assembly instructions.
NOTE: In this example, the button and module positions are placed in what is considered an ergonomically
pleasing arrangement. You may, however, place the buttons in any arrangement you wish, to best fit taste
and application.

Smart Pad
3
The only exception to this is the 4 source buttons. They need to be
kept in the 4 upper locations of the KM4 in order for the source
indicators and bank selections to operate.
You may also reverse the position of the KM1F and the KM4
modules; the basic operation of the keypad will be identical.
8. The keypad is now ready to be wired into the total system. See
Fig. 3. Power may then be applied and we can proceed with the
Programming of each key.

You can now test the learned commands. But first, be sure the AM/FM receiver's Power is turned OFF and
the emitters are placed on each of the components as shown in Fig. 3. Now press the CD1 button. The AM/
FM receiver should turn ON and it's source selector should switch to the CD1 position.
Using the same procedure, program the remaining source buttons. Just be sure to press the correct source
button in steps 2 & 7 above. As you complete each source (bank) button, test it before going on. Repeat
the procedure, as necessary, until correct operation is obtained.
When the source buttons are complete, proceed to program each of the 20 function buttons as follows:
1. First, press CD1 to select the CD1 bank. The functions that apply to this source (bank) will now be
"taught" (programmed) into the applicable function buttons.

of additional keypads (identically configured) that you may need in multiroom installations. Refer to the
"Command Transfers (Cloning)" section.
NOTE: The * (asterisk) key is not used in this particular application.
A Single Gang Configuration
Many times a client wants a very simple keypad system with only a few basic functions or wishes to have
minimum intrusion into the room decor. In this case, a single gang application of the SmartPad
would be
3
appropriate. We will assume that the client has the following equipment and system requirements:
1. An AM/FM receiver and 4 sources: TUNER (AM/FM), two CD changers and a cassette TAPE deck.
2. When a source button is pressed, it must turn the AM/FM receiver ON along with the associated
source.
3. The keypad will have the following control function commands for each source:
TUNER: Tuner Up/Down (scroll of preset stations).
CD 1 and CD 2: Play, Track Forward/Reverse, Pause, Stop, Disc +.
TAPE: Play Forward, Fast Forward/Rewind, Pause, Stop.
4. Speakers in the remote room must be mutable by using the relay in the SmartPad
This is the basic client specification for this application of the SmartPad
3.
3.
The next step is to determine what SmartPad3 modules and keypad buttons are required to perform this
job, as follows:
1. Since there are 4 sources, we can use the KM4 Key Module, which provides 4 sources with status
indicators and 8 function keys.
2. Now, since this is a 1-gang configuration, we need an LM110 Base Module into which we plug the
KM4, as shown in Fig. 5.
3. The next step is to determine exactly what buttons are needed to carry out the control functions
needed.
4. Again, we begin this process by assigning the Source buttons first;CD1,TUNER, CD2 and TAPE. See Fig. 5.
5. Next, we assign the function control buttons based on the list of
functions given on page 12.
NOTE: Most of the buttons for steps 4 and 5 are provided in the
SOURCE and FUNCTION bags of buttons supplied with the KM4.

Programming a Single Gang Configuration
As mentioned on page 6, the LM110 must receive it's programming from a PM110 or Dragon Drop IR™.
(This means that you, the installer, must have a PM110 or Dragon Drop IR on hand, to program LM110's
for single gang applications). Before proceeding with this section, it is recommended that you read
"PROGRAMMING THE SMARTPAD
™ " section, where full programming details are given. The following

is a brief procedure, specific to this installation example.
NOTE: STATUS and AC power management are accomplished using sequenced commands and the
Switched AC Outlet on the AM/FM receiver. Refer to Fig. 6.
We'll begin by "teaching" commands to the 4 source (bank) buttons:
1. Insert the KM4, with selected buttons installed,
into the left bank
of a PM110. See Fig. 7.
2. Be sure the PM110 is powered, by wiring it to a connecting block same as shown in Fig. 3.
3. Press SEQ. The SEQ LED will flash.
4. Press CD1. CD1 LED will come on and the SEQ LED will come on steady.NOTE: Turn the AM/FM receiver ON so that +12V is applied to the STATUS line. This ensures that
the source button LED's will light.

Fig. 7 Programming a Single Gang using a PM110
button, on the 2nd tier, to provide the Disc+ function.
This means the user would 1st press CD1 button for less that 1 sec. to select the source. He could then
press the CD1 button for more than 1 sec. to cause the CD changer to step (or skip) forward one disc at
a time, as desired.
11. Press SEQ, then CD1, then CNCL, then CD1 again. This places you in the 2nd tier of CD1.
(See also Tiering, page 25).
12. Point the CD1 remote at IR window and press it's DISC+ or DISC SKIP button.
13. When the code is learned, the SEQ LED will flash then go steady when you release the key on the
remote.
14. Press CNCL
two times to exit the programming tier mode.
You can now test these learned commands. But first, be sure the AM/FM receiver's Power is turned OFF
and the emitters are placed on each of the components as shown in Fig. 6.
Using the same procedure, program the remaining source buttons. Just be sure to press the correct source
button in steps 4 & 11 above as you go from source to source. Remember that you do not need the
tier
command except for sources CD1 and CD2 (for DISC+).
As you complete each button, test it before going on. Repeat the procedure, as necessary, until correct
operation is obtained.
When the source buttons are complete, proceed to
PM110LM110
program each of the 8 function buttons, using essentially the same steps as outlined for the 2-gang configuration, previous. The only difference is there are
fewer buttons involved. Also, the TUNER up/down
tuning commands need to be stored under the and
buttons on the TUNER bank.
NOTE: A 2nd tier could be added to the TUNER
button for AM/FM selection, if desired.

5. Disconnect the 3' cable.
6. Remove the KM4 from the PM110 and insert it into the LM110.
The LM110 is now ready for final operation.
Note: If transfer does not complete or the ERR LED shows, remove power from both units, reapply
power and try again.
A Three Gang Configuration
For the client who wants to control a larger group of sources and functions than that permitted by two gangs,
it is necessary to move up to a three gang configuration of the SmartPad
. Again, let's assume the client

2.When a source button is pressed, it must turn on the AM/FM receiver and the associated source.
3.The keypad must have the following control function commands for each source:
and Recall (previous channel).
VCR: Play, Scan/Fast Forward/Rewind, Pause, Stop.
This is the basic client specification for this application of the SmartPad
3.
As with the previous configurations, the next step is to determine the SmartPad3 modules and keypad
buttons needed to perform this job. Using the client specification and similar procedures to those on pages
7 and 8, we have come up with the module and button assignments as shown in Fig. 9.
When making these choices, keep the following in mind:
1. Since both a numeric and a cursor module are
used, special consideration is needed to best
utilize the available function keys. For instance,
the CM1F cursor module was chosen for ease
of use with the SAT receiver. You will need,
however, to use these keys on the CD, LD,
TAPE and VCR banks to perform such functions as Track Forward/Reverse, Chapter Forward/Reverse, Scan/Fast Forward/Rewind, etc.
2. The numeric buttons can be used for direct
entry of AM/FM stations, disc and/or track

Fig. 14 Key Module Disassembly
learning single, sequenced (macros) and tiered commands under each button for any of the keypad
configurations. The system supports up to a maximum of 8 banks (sources) whether one uses the single,
dual, or 3-gang configurations. The actual number of banks depends on the key modules you select for the
job. Allowable choices are 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 banks.
A summary of the SmartPad
programming features are:
3
• Learns pulse or carrier IR type commands.
• Supports IR commands, "push & hold" tiering and sequence commands on any key.
• Commands storable into 1 to 8 banks, selectable by bank keys.
• Editing of command sequences.
• Intelligent Power Management [inhibits first command in a sequence (power On/Off) if STATUS
terminal sees +5 to +30V DC].
• Bank tracking signal switches all keypads to the same bank, irrespective of which keypad’s source
button is pressed (provided the keypads are on the same IR bus network).
• Network Addressing allows code transfer over the IR bus (network) from a programmed keypad to as
many as 16 keypads simultaneously.
• RS232 data compatible COM port permits cloning between keypads and from Dragon Drop IR™
software.
• Optional Windows based Dragon Drop IR™ software permits complete virtual keypad programming
on a PC with code transfer to individual keypads via the COM port.
• Speaker Relay programming.
• Code Group Programming.
• Bank Tracking Programming.
• User configurability of buttons into key modules and key modules into base units.

17. WRITE PROTECT Switch. Must be in WRITE position for all programming. PROTECT position
prohibits programming and protects all stored data from unintended erasure.
18. NETWORK ADDRESS - 16 position (0~F) switch allows up to 16 PM110/LM110 modules to have a
unique network address. Each module on a common IR bus (network) must be set to a unique network
address, prior to programming, to allow network cloning.
PROGRAMMING
Power Up: Begin by connecting the keypad to a typical system such as that shown in Fig 3. Be sure the
STATUS terminal is connected to +12V so that the source (bank) LEDs will light. Also, set the WRITE/
PROTECT switch to WRITE and the NETWORK ADDRESS to a
unique position
for each keypad used
in the system.
The following conditions are established when power is applied:
• The unit resets and operation begins.
• The keypad defaults to bank #1 (top left source button) after each power up.
• The unit is now ready for programming, communications with a PC or cloning of programmed contents
from one keypad to another.
Learning IR Command Codes
To teach IR commands to the unit, refer to Figs. 15 &
16 and proceed as follows:
1. Press the desired Source (bank) button. The
Source button LED will light.
2. Press the PGM (program) button. The PGM
LED will flash.
CAUTION: Use a blunt tool when pressing the
programming buttons, such as the tip of a 3.5mm
mini plug. Do not use pens, pencils, etc., as they
may damage or contaminate the switch material.
3. Now press the desired target key (one of the
Function or Source buttons).
With the target button selected and the PGM
LED has stopped flashing, you are ready to input
the IR command from the handheld remote
control.
NOTE: If you change your mind and wish to
teach a different button than the one you just
selected, simply press CNCL once, and press
the other button.

the command successfully. If this happens, wait for the PGM LED to come back on steady and repeat
step 4.
5. Now that the PGM LED is flashing again, press another target button and input another IR command.
When you are done learning commands, press CNCL (cancel) to exit the PGM mode. The PGM LED
will go off.
CAUTION: You must leave the PGM mode by pressing CNCL (press twice if in SEQ mode) before
programming a different source (bank).
NOTE: If you are using a STATUS Jumper (Fig. 17) or programming for a ZPR68,
for you to program Source commands twice into each bank
, using the SEQ (sequence) button, in order
it will be necessary
for the Source commands to operate.
Sequence Programming (Macros)
You can teach more than one IR command per button by using the Sequence Programming feature. This
permits several commands to be executed by one key press to carry out a macro of several system
functions. To teach a sequence of commands to a single button, do the following:
1. Press the SEQ (sequence) button. The SEQ LED will flash.
2. Now press the desired target button just as when doing regular IR programming. (This can be a Source
or a Function button). The SEQ LED will come on steady to indicate that it is ready for IR input.
3. Point the remote at the IR window (1 to 2 inches away) and press the key on the remote that has
the command you want in the sequence.
4. When the command has been learned, the SEQ and PGM LEDs begin flashing and continue to flash
until you release the key on the remote.
5. The SEQ LED will then turn on steady again to show that it is ready for another command.
Controllers
6. Repeat these steps for as many IR commands
as you want in the sequence.
7. When finished, press the CNCL key. The SEQ
LED will flash, indicating that a different Source
or Function button may be selected to enter
another sequence (repeating the steps above).
8. To exit the sequence mode completely, press
CNCL two times. The SEQ LED will go out.
Power Management
Normally you want a power command under each
Source (bank) button so that the system is turned ON
no matter which Source button is pressed. However,
without Power Management, pressing a 2nd Source
button would send out a 2nd power command, turning
the system OFF.
• The SmartPad
power management system pre-
3
vents this by stopping the first command in the
sequence (the power command) when the STATUS terminal is High (+5 to +30V DC).
• Similarly, when the system is OFF, the first
command (power) will be sent since the STATUS terminal is Low (0V).
• This assumes that a High and a Low voltage,

NOTE top of page 24).
CAUTION: ZPR68 Installers. When programming the SmartPad3 for control of a ZPR68, you will need
to place the source select commands twice under each source button (in a 2-step sequence)
. This
permits sources to be selected after zone turn-on. (They would otherwise be blocked when zone turn-on
drives the STATUS line high).
Tiering
The SmartPad
has the ability to program sequences or single commands onto two tiers or levels on any
3
Source or Function button. The 2nd tier is accessed by a "Push & Hold" of the tiered button. This is very
useful when working with a limited number of buttons, such as single gang applications of the SmartPad3.
• After tiering is programmed, the 1st tier is activated when the button is pressed for less than 1 second.
• The 2nd tier is accessed by a "Press & Hold" of the same button for more than 1 second.
• The 1st tier would typically be used to perform
an initial function, such as power on, source
selection, track skip, etc.

Programming Delays
Some IR controlled units may require an increased time interval between certain commands, particularly
between a Power ON command and a Play command, for instance, to operate correctly.
• When programming sequences, you can place delays between such commands so that sufficient time
is given for all functions to execute.
• The SmartPad
allows the insertion of timed delays at any point within a sequence. Proceed as follows:
3
1. Press the SEQ button to enter commands as described under Sequence Programming .
2. Just before you enter a command that requires a delay, press the DELAY button to enter the DELAY
mode. The DELAY LED will flash.
3. Now press the DELAY button, successively, to enter the number of seconds of delay you want. (Each

in a sequence. Each second you add will be in addition to the 1/3 second that already exits.
once
4. Press CNCL
to exit from DELAY mode and return to Sequence mode.
5. Next, enter the command that requires the delay. Continue programming the remaining commands
you desire in the sequence. Just before entering another command requiring a delay, repeat steps 2,
3 and 4 above.
twice
6. When finished with the sequence, press CNCL
. The delay times entered are now stored as part
of the sequence.
Sending IR Commands
Once you have “taught” the desired IR commands and/or sequences to the keypad, and have pressed
CNCL to leave the programming modes, you may send them to the controlled equipment simply by pressing
the key that relates to them. It is recommended that you test each set of commands you have placed in a
bank before proceeding to the next bank.
Deleting Commands
If you want to delete a command or sequence from any button, simply do the following:
1. Press the DEL (delete) button. The DEL LED will flash.
2. Press the target button that has the command(s) you wish to delete. The DEL LED will come on steady.
3. When erasure is complete, the DEL LED will resume flashing. If you wish to delete from other buttons,
you can do so now by repeating the procedure from step 2.
and
NOTE: One press of the target key will delete all commands in a sequence
on the 2nd tier (if used).
If you want to delete or change individual commands in a sequence, you must do so in the Sequence
Editing mode.
4. When done, press CNCL to exit delete mode. The DEL LED will go out.
Sequence Editing
Long sequences (probably with some delays interspersed between commands) will likely have to be edited
and experimented with to achieve correct timing control of the associated equipment.
• Editing is done in the EDIT mode using the STEP, DELete, PGM and DELAY buttons.
• It is best to think of the command sequence as a set of items laid end to end. When you activate the
EDIT mode, it sets the edit pointer to the front of this string of items.
• You use the STEP key to individually transmit and step through each command in the sequence. This
lets you see which commands are where, if all are working correctly, etc.
• If you activate a command that does not work or is incorrect, you can press the DEL key to remove
it and then the PGM key to store a new command in its place.
Controllers
Smart Pad

17
• Additionally, you may insert delays into the sequence, as needed, for slow responding equipment.
• In this way you can work through the entire sequence, fixing problems as you go.
To edit a sequence, proceed as follows:
1. Press the EDIT key. The EDIT LED will flash.
NOTE: If you press the EDIT button and then change your mind or want to exit the operation at any
time, press the CNCL button twice.
2. Press the button having the sequence you wish to edit. The EDIT LED will go on steady. This indicates
that the sequence is open for editing. The edit pointer (insertion point) will be at the first item in the
sequence.
3. Press the STEP key to preview the first command in the sequence.
4. The command transmits. Watch to see what happens with the controlled unit. (Note: The TRNS LED
lights during transmit).
5. The edit insertion point will now be positioned in front of the next command in the sequence.
Deleting a Command Within a Sequence
6. If the command you just transmitted did not work and you wish to delete it, press the DEL button. The
DEL LED lights, then goes out, indicating the command has been deleted.
You may now STEP to the next command.
The DEL button will always delete the command that was last transmitted.
Inserting a Command
7. To insert a new or replacement command, press the PGM button. The PGM LED will come on steady.
8. Input the IR command in the normal manner.
9. When stored, the PGM and SEQ LED will flash, then go out. You may now STEP to the next command.
NOTE: You do not have to delete anything to add a new command to the sequence.
Inserting a Delay
A delay may also be inserted in a similar manner.
10. Step through the sequence to a place just ahead of the command where you wish to insert a delay.
11. Press the DELAY button. The DELAY LED will light.
12. Enter the desired delay time (see Programming Delays, step 3).
13. Press CNCL once to exit delay mode. The DELAY LED will go off indicating the delay is now stored.
You may now STEP to the next command.
NOTE: If you wish to step through the sequence again for further checks and editing, you will need
to repeat the editing process from step #1.
When you have finished editing, press CNCL twice to exit the EDIT mode. You may now press the edited
button to check for proper operation.
Editing the 2nd Tier
14. Press CNCL, CNCL, EDIT, target button, CNCL, target button. You are now in the 2nd tier.
15. Edit this tier in the same manner by following steps 3 through 13.
Speaker Relay
Each of the PM110 and LM110 modules has a speaker relay built into it permitting local speakers to be
muted independently of speakers in other rooms. The relays are controlled in two ways - internally coded
(non-IR) to any desired button on the keypad and with Xantech RC68+ (or RC68) Programmer (optional)
IR commands. The IR codes can be taught to a learning remote or to a keypad, if desired.

Programming for the Speaker Relay
The relay will respond to commands for MUTE ON (sound off),
MUTE OFF (sound on), and MUTE TOGGLE. Since the relay is
switching speakers in the local room where the ON/OFF condition is
audibly discerned, the MUTE TOGGLE command would most often
be used. However, the MUTE ON and MUTE OFF (pair) commands

Each remaining keypad will need to respond to unique
muting commands, otherwise muting one room on the
IR network with the RC68 IR commands, will mute all
the rest as well.
Since any PM110 can store unique coding for up to 16
addresses, we will use the 1st keypad to program
codes for the rest, as follows:
11. On the 1st keypad (PM110), change the NET-
12. Repeat steps 4 through 8.

At this point the coding that causes each keypad to respond to its own mute buttons and to the unique RC68
commands over the IR Network, for each keypad address, is stored in the 1st keypad. To transfer this coding
to the rest of the keypads, do a Network Transfer as follows:
14. Set the WRITE PROTECT switch to the WRITE position and press RESTORE on all keypads.
7. Within 3 seconds, press the button on the
SmartPad3 where you want Relay Mute ON (i.e.
a MUTE ON button. See Fig. 24). The active

15. Press XFER, then SEQ on the 1st keypad.
The SEQ, PGM and NETWORK LED's will blink until the transfer completes. (On LM110's the Source
and NETWORK LED's blink).
16. You may now test the Mute buttons that you chose on each keypad to determine proper functioning.
Refer to Fig. 24.
Also, test each unique IR command from the RC68 (refer to steps 9, 10 and Fig. 22) to see that each
keypad's relay responds individually and correctly.
NOTE: The active Source (bank) LED will blink Off every 2 seconds to remind you when the relay is
in the MUTE ON mode.
17. The final step would be to teach the related RC68 ON/TOG and OFF IR commands into learning
remotes, such as URC-2's, dedicated to each room.
18. A master SmartPad
could also be programmed (on different buttons than its own relay muting) for
3
control of ON/OFF relay muting in a different (i.e. child's) room.
Programming for the TOGGLE command only
If you do not need the MUTE ON & MUTE OFF
(paired) commands, you can simplify the process.
The single TOGGLE command, for instance, would
work well under the MUTE button in a system such as
that in Figs. 5 & 6. To program Toggle only, proceed
as follows:
19. Begin by following steps 1 through 7.

23. The final step would be to teach the related RC68 ON/TOG (Toggle) IR command into learning
remotes, such as URC-2's, dedicated to each room.
NOTE: The internally coded (non-IR) Relay Mute commands are active on tier 1 only. You can, however,
program other product IR commands on both tier 1 and 2 on the same Relay Mute button.
Code Group Programming
The SmartPad
, like certain other Xantech products, has the ability to be set to various IR Code Groups.
3
This allows all keypads on the same zone (IR Network) to respond individually to Bank Tracking and
Speaker Relay commands, if needed. This means that a keypad that has been changed to a different Code
Group will not bank track with others unless they are also changed to the same Code Group. Speaker Relay
commands will need to be set up using the new Code Group as well and will therefore operate independently
of other keypad Speaker Relays.
CAUTION: Unless you have a very specialized application, it is recommended that you do not attempt to
change the Code Group from the factory default setting of D8.
If needed, however, change the Code Group as follows:
Controllers

1. Connect the keypads for the zone onto a common IR bus (network) along with an IR receiver as shown
in Fig. 20. Be sure the system is powered.

to a unique NETWORK ADDRESS such as 0,

1, 2, 3, etc. (Fig. 21).
3. Set the WRITE/PROTECT switch to WRITE on the 1st keypad (i.e., the keypad with Network Address
0) that you wish to change and press the RESTORE button.
4. On all the other keypads, set the WRITE/PROTECT switch to PROTECT.
5. Set the rear switches on the back of the RC 68 or RC68+ to FF.
6. Direct the RC68 toward the IR receiver and press a key that reflects the desired Code Group.
CAUTION: Do not choose a Code Group that is the same as other Xantech products that you may have
in the same IR system.
7. The active Source (bank) button and NETWORK LED's on the SmartPad
will flash once indicating
3
that the change has taken place.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for any additional keypads you wish to change.
The factory default value of D8 can always be returned to by pressing D8 in the above process or by doing
a CLR MEM (Fig. 15). Be aware that CLR MEM will erase all user programming!
Bank Tracking Programming
Each Source (bank) key of the SmartPad
can be programmed to output one of up to 16 different Bank
3
Tracking commands. This is useful if you want a different arrangement of source buttons in one room
compared to another but still retain bank tracking between them, or to work more logically with the fixed
source keys of a handheld learning remote. To program different tracking commands, proceed as follows:

Command Transfers (Cloning)
All the commands stored in a PM110 may be transferred to another PM110 (or to an LM110 where
applicable) in two ways - via the COM Ports or by Network Transfer.
COM Port Transfer
You would do a COM Port transfer when you need to clone one keypad at a time. This would apply to zoned
systems where the keypads are not connected on a common IR bus (network) but you want each keypad
programmed identically. Proceed as follows:
1. Using the 3' cable supplied with the PM110, simply plug it into the COM Port of each unit as shown
in Fig. 29.
NOTE: You can make transfers with or without the key modules installed on the PM110's.

2. Be sure
units are powered before proceeding.
3. Set the WRITE/PROTECT switch to the WRITE position on the unprogrammed unit. Fig. 29.NOTE: Transfers can be made from the programmed unit with its WRITE PROTECT switch set to
either the PROTECT or WRITE position. However, it is recommended that it be set to the PROTECT
position to prevent unintended alteration or erasure of programmed contents.
4. Press the XFER button on the programmed unit. Both PGM and SEQ LEDs will flash.
5. Press the PGM button. The PGM and SEQ LEDs will flash while a copy of the memory contents are
transferred to the unprogrammed unit. You may "clone" as many keypads as desired by repeating this
process.
NOTE: If transfer does not complete or the ERR LED shows, remove power from both units, reapply
power and try again.

8. When done, set the WRITE/PROTECT switch to the PROTECT position on all keypads to prevent
unintended alteration or erasure.
Cloning Transfer Time
The time it takes to complete a cloning process depends on the amount of data required for the project and
the number of keypads. For instance, a small project using only 2k of memory transfers in 10 seconds to
a single keypad and an additional 1 to 2 seconds for every additional keypad. A very large project that uses
all of the available 32k of memory requires 105 seconds plus 10 seconds for every keypad that becomes
a clone. The maximum time, therefore, for 16 units to become clones would be 265 seconds (4 minutes,
25 seconds).
CAUTION: With either COM Port or Network Transfer, the down-line unit(s) have no choice in what they
accept. Any commands that currently exist in the down-line units will be erased and completely replaced
by the new data.
All previous programming will be lost!
Clearing all Memory
If, for any reason, you wish to clear all programming from the keypad, set the WRITE/PROTECT switch to
the WRITE position and press CLR MEM button twice within 1 second (PM110). The active Source (bank)
LED will blink once to confirm the action.
• Bear in mind that all previous programming will be lost!
• You may now proceed to reprogram the keypad from scratch.

NOTE: The LM110 does not have a memory clear button since the memory is essentially cleared each time
a transfer is made to it from a PM110 or Dragon Drop IR™. Simply pressing RESTORE (or removing and
reapplying power), before data transfer, will normally clear any problems related to LM110 memory
conditions.
Exceeding Memory Limits
With the large memory capacity of the PM110 at 32k and the LM110 at 8k, it is unlikely that you will ever
exceed the limit, especially when manually programming. If you should exceed the limit, however, the FULL
indicator will light on the PM110. If you try to transfer more than 8k to the LM110, the PM110 ERR LED will
light at the beginning of the transfer. In either case, you will have to press RESTORE on both units and then
"off-load" some commands and rearrange your project to stay within the memory limits.
MOUNTING
The SmartPad
system mounts in standard one, two and three gang "J-box" configurations, in basically the

same way as other wall mounted decorator style components. A few things to keep in mind are as follows:

• The PM110 and LM110 require considerable room in the J-box.
• For retrofit (existing construction) applications, use high volume boxes, such as the 2-gang Slater
Retrofit 32 cu. inch box, or Xantech's Model SLB2 2-gang retrofit box.
• For new construction, most high volume J-boxes will work. A "P" ring could also be used.
• NOTE: Be sure to check fit
before
buying large quantities of J-boxes or P-rings for the job.
• Avoid high moisture applications such as showers, steam rooms or outdoor locations. For such
applications, use Xantech's "
THE WATERPAD™
" ( a membrane version of the SmartPad3).

TROUBLE SHOOTING
If you encounter problems, review each of the following items and take corrective action as described. If
problems persist, contact Xantech Technical Support.
1. Unit freezes or locks up while learning IR commands. The ERR LED may stay on constantly.
This can occur if you hold the "teaching" remote too far away from or at too great an angle to the face
of the IR window of the PM110. It may also occur if there is IR interference present.
Do the following:
a)Press the RESTORE button and repeat the learning procedures for that particular key. Be sure
the remote is held 1/2" to 1" away from the IR window on the PM110.
NOTE: Pressing RESTORE sets the internal program of the PM110 back to the start position.
not
It does
erase user-programmed commands.
b)Be sure there are no sources of strong IR interference (such as CFL lamps, TVs, Neon lighting,
etc.) near the PM110. Shade the IR window of the PM110 if necessary.
2. The 2nd keypad, after a Full Memory Transfer, does not output IR commands.
Corrupted data in the 2nd keypad may have prevented a proper data transfer.
twice
a)Press the CLR MEM button
on the 2nd keypad.
b)Repeat the Command Transfers (Cloning) procedure (page 36).
3. Unit will not learn IR commands from certain brands and models of remotes.
a)Some IR commands are not learnable by the SmartPad
or the Dragon Drop-IR system.
3
Be sure
to test all components first to see that their IR command codes are learnable and
executable by the SmartPad3 before selecting final components for the system.
To aid you in this selection, see CAUTION card (included) for the latest information relating to
incompatible codes.
NOTE: Certain IR commands not learnable directly by SmartPad
are available on the Xantech
3
Web Site and on CD ROM for use in Dragon Drop-IR. Contact Technical Support for details.
b)High frequency IR carriers above 71 kHz also cannot be learned directly. Some may be learnable,
however, when down-converted by Xantech products such as the 291P, PMS12, 291-455,
MS455, etc.
Refer to the Xantech Product Catalog and contact Technical Support for details. Be sure you have
the Make and Model number of the component and its remote before contacting Technical Support.
