  • Page 7: Section 1: General Information & Features

    As with the previous models of SmartPad Keypads, these new touchpanels 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 touchpanels also have the ability to receive and transmit RS232 commands for a wide range of control options.
  • Page 8: System Overview

    Simply connecting a power supply and then connecting the SmartPad LCD outputs to any standard Xantech IR bus, makes a complete IR Repeater System. By adding the optional RS422232 converter, you can literally control almost any Audio Video or Home Automation component. The SmartPad LCD or SPLCD is also directly compatible with the MRC-88 Whole-house Audio Video Entertainment System.
