Page 6: Section 1: General Information & Features
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. -
Page 7: System Overview
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 SPLCD is also directly compatible with the MRC-88 Whole-house Audio Video Entertainment System. -
