As with the previous models of SmartPad keypads, these new touch-screen panel keypads are designed to be stand-alone controllers with the ability to output IR commands onto the standard Xantech four-wire IR bus as well as receive (and pass-through) IR commands via the built-in IR receiver. These new touch-screen panels also have the ability to receive and transmit RS232 commands for a wide range of control options.
Simply connecting a power supply and connecting the SmartPad LCD outputs to any standard Xantech IR bus, makes a complete IR Repeater System. By adding the optional RS422/232 converter, you now can literally control almost any Audio Video or Home Automation component. The CCSPLCD is also directly compatible with the CM8X8/MRC-88 Whole-house Audio Video Entertainment System.
Upper and Lower Viewing Angles: Software Programmable for exact viewing placement Programmable Backlight Control: Selectable Time-Out for LCD backlight Standard Xantech IR Bus Output: Allows for easy interface to existing IR networks Internal IR Code Library: Built in IR Code Library. Contains all Major Brand Component IR commands. No need to ‘learn’...

18. IR In-Zone. 2-Terminal WECO style socket - Zone IR out for local ‘In-Zone’ emitter out. Used for IR control of equipment in the same location as the CSPLCD. Output equivalent to that of Xantech Amplified Connecting blocks. 100mA peak output. Connect directly to Emitter or to Xantech Connecting Blocks (789-44 or 791-44).
Commercial SmartPad LCD 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.
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.
SmartPad LCD), wire the IR OUT and GND terminals on the rear of the CSPLCD Display to the IR (white stripe) and GND of the emitter cable. To control numerous components in the same area, wire these terminals to an amplified connecting block (Xantech Model 791-44) using 18-20AWG 2-conductor cable. A 2-conductor screw-type removable connector is provided.
Install the Universal Dragon program onto your hard drive as follows: 1. Insert the disc into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. If your drive has been set for auto run, a Xantech Welcome Menu will appear. If not, access your CD ROM with Windows Explorer and double click the file "setup.exe".
After the successful installation of the software, double-click the Dragon Drop-IR™(CSPLCD) icon on your desktop or: 1. From START menu, choose Programs. 2. Select Xantech and click on the Universal Dragon Drop-IR™(CSPLCD) Icon from the menu. 3. The program loads and opens to the following Universal Dragon Drop-IR SmartPad LCD opening screen.
PC (for programming URC-2’s, MRC88, etc) these files can be Copied and Pasted using Windows Explorer to the PALETTE folder located under the C:Program Files\Xantech\Universal Dragon\ directory on your PC. If all of your codes are either located in the IR Code Library or are already learned in palettes, please proceed to the section entitled Placing Commands onto the GTL’s.
Note: Commands learned through the CSPLCD’s front panel learning eye (XIR2 method) are NOT backwards compatible to other Xantech devices (i.e. MRC44/88, URC-2 etc…). This means, palettes created in Dragon Drop-IR CSPLCD cannot be copied to previous versions of Dragon Drop-IR software.
Figure 22: Creating a Palette File GETTING SOURCE COMMANDS FROM THE INTERNET ANTECH There are some IR commands that can be difficult to learn in Dragon. Xantech edits and posts some of these commands at http://www.xantech.com located under Support-Downloads-IR Code Libraries. (See website for listings and download instructions.) A direct link to Xantech.com can be found in the “Links”...
5. Repeat steps 2 thru 4 for all of the desired RC68+ Trigger Commands programmed. PROGRAMMING THE URC-2B/P FOR USE WITH CSPLCD RC68+ TRIGGERED SEQUENCES Programming Xantech Model URC-2B/P (Black or Platinum) Universal Remote to trigger the programmed RC68+ sequences can be done in two different methods: either identical to the procedure above (teaching directly with the RC68+ Hand Held Programmer) or by using Dragon Drop-IR Software.
RS232 INPUT TRANSLATOR The CSPLCD Touch Screen Controller has the ability to receive specific RS232 XANTECH ASCII strings and associate them to an IR Macro to control any number of IR controlled devices. This can give the ability for a central PC (or other RS232 unit) to control any IR device connected to the CSPLCD Connecting Block.
By assigning discrete Bank Track Codes to each source button, the CSPLCD can work in conjunction with accompanying learning hand held remotes (similar to Xantech Model URC-2P/B) or other CSPLCD panels in the same zone. When a source is changed on the accompanying hand held remote (or another CSPLCD panel), the Source Pages will change in unison to remain in sync with the current Source selection.
INTERFACING CSPLCD with MRC44 & CM8X8/MRC88 (IR Control) The SmartPad LCD™ allows direct integration with Xantech MRC Products via the CONTROL and EXPANSION RJ45 Terminals on the rear of the panel (See Figure 3-13 & Figure 3-14). Connecting either of these terminals to the Keypad Connection on the rear of the MRC44 or MRC88 will allow IR control of the MRC unit and any components connected to the MRC Controller.
