Page 3: Introduction
Model IR-X10 INTRODUCTION The IR-X10, Figure 1, serves to connect the Xantech IR bus to the X10 Power Line Interface (PL513, PSC05, etc). Specifically, the IR-X10 converts unique IR control codes, generated by the Dragon Drop-IR software program, into X10 commands. This permits the unique lighting and control functions of the X10 system to be easily integrated into Xantech IR controlled whole-house AV systems. - Page 4 Page 4 Model IR-X10 Figure 2 – Typical Multi-Room System Using the IR-X10 © 2002 Xantech Corporation.

MAC1, 590-10 and RS232IR). These commands can be placed on any key of the controller, which you later direct at a Xantech IR Receiver in an IR controlled system. The IR signal from the IR receiver must then be passed to the Xantech IR-X10 Interface Module, which converts the unique IR commands to X10 power-line carrier control signals. -

Unit Address (#1-16). This information will be required for steps 3 & 4. From the X10 menu, click Create IR-X10 File. (To work with a previously created file, click Select IR-X10 File and click on the file to be edited. Proceed to Step 3). -
Page 8: Placing X10 Commands On A Virtual Controller
Click a button on the virtual controller where you want the command (e.g. ‘D’). This button will now have a blue outline around it. Click Place. The command will appear in the command list (e.g., A2 On (XANTECH - IRX10). © 2002 Xantech Corporation. Model IR-X10... -

Drop-IR software. For instance, you can create "scenes" that, with one button press, can cause several X10 Modules to set lighting to predetermined levels along with controlling other functions in the A/V system if so desired. First you need to program a Scene. © 2002 Xantech Corporation. Page 9... -

Page 11: Scenes Setup
CAUTION: Every time you make a change in Scene Programming, you must perform a new Scenes Setup procedure by repeating steps 1 through 3. Be sure to delete the old command set before placing the new one on the controller. © 2002 Xantech Corporation. Page 11... -
Page 12: Programming An X10 Scene Macro
This button will now also have a blue outline around it. Click Place. The command will appear in the command list (e.g., Scene Cmd – (A-1) (XANTECH - IRX10)). To add a Scene Setup to this Macro (Method 2 from above), select Scene Setup in the Function List Box and then click Place. -
Page 13: Transferring Data To A Real Controller
To simulate this, version 2.00 software or higher, has a REPEAT function. Add a REPEAT of ‘1’ or ‘2’ just before the command. This will not affect the button function in any way and will make the Test mode more accurate. © 2002 Xantech Corporation. - Page 14 The newly programmed unit should now operate all the IR-controlled equipment in your system. Using the same procedure, you may transfer to any number of additional Controllers. Figure 7 – Transferring Data to a Real Controller © 2002 Xantech Corporation. Model IR-X10...
