Chapter Four--Wiring
Emergency Shutdown Wiring: To connect your fire alarm or emergency management
system to the XPC, follow these steps.
1. From the fire alarm unit or latching Emergency Shutoff
switch, wire the contacts to the first pair of inputs on
the rear panel. Default is normally-open, but this can
be changed to normally-closed or monitored-loop in
setup (see Ch. 5)
2. When the contacts change state, all circuits that have
been selected for E. Shutoff will cycle to OFF.
3. When the contacts change state all circuits that were
ON when E. Shutoff was activated will return to the ON
state if “Enable Recovery” is selected (Ch. 5).
See Chapter 5 to configure the software for emergency
shutdown.

There are 5 main tabs on your XPC web page. This page
will give you a quick overview of the pages and their
functions.
The status page allows you to view the current status of the
circuits and zones. Zones and individual circuits cannot be
manipulated from this page.
This page allows the user to manipulate individual
circuits as well as circuit zones. “All ON/OFF” and
“Hurry-Off” commands can also be triggered from this
page.
The setup section allows you to setup and use the
XPC controller. From this section you can manipulate
the network settings, assign circuits to zones, create
sequences, activate emergency management features,
create schedules and assign contact closures.
This page provides contact information for LynTec.

Basic date and time information will be displayed in the
Clock Set fields. Verify that the year, month and day are
correct. Set the hour to the appropriate time for your time
zone and verify that the minute displayed is correct. Save
this information by clicking the Update Information button

Click the radio buttons for any pages to be printed out
under the Printable Pages header. To print the Network
Setup, Panel Setup or Panel Schedules pages at any time,
ensure the desired buttons have been selected and then
click the Print Pages button to the right. Please print a
copy for your records after setup is complete.
This screen shows the current network values. If DHCP
is enabled then the fields will be greyed out. It is
recommended that the user consult with the network
administrator before changing these values.
The IP, Subnet and Gateway addresses are only used in the
following situations:
• When DHCP is disabled
• When DHCP is enabled, but there is no DHCP server
available on the network
• When the XPC provides DHCP addresses
If DHCP is enabled and available on the network, all these
values will be obtained from the DHCP server.
If DHCP is disabled and a static address is used, save
changes and then press “Reset RPC” or the reset button on
the controller to apply changes.

Chapter Five--Control Setup
DMX For DMX operation use the following steps:
The XPC allows up to four different sets of DMX starting
addresses within a single universe.
In the first set, enter the first circuit address. All
circuits need to be assigned addresses manually. Do
this by clicking on each circuit in the order you would
like them to be addressed. If you need to skip an
address or group of addresses, simply create a new
zone and enter the desired starting address. If you
would like the XPC to automatically assign circuits to
consecutive addresses. you may change that in the
Please note that selecting sACN/DMX control for a
circuit or zone, will disable web browser or contact
closure control for that circuit/zone. Although,
circuit/zone status may still be monitored by web
browser or smartphone.
DMX and sACN are exclusive and cannot be used on
the same controller at the same time. Either can be
used to control circuits in zones while other zones are
controlled by IP commands or contact closures.
Streaming ACN E1.31 For sACN operation use the following steps:
The XPC allows up to four different universes with
sACN operation.
First, assign a number to the universe.
In the first set, enter the first individual circuit address.
All circuits need to be assigned addresses manually.
Do this by clicking on each circuit in the order you
would like them to be addressed. If you need to skip
an address or group of addresses, simply create a new
zone and enter the desired starting address. If you
would like the XPC to automatically assign circuits to
consecutive addresses. you may change that in the
“Panels” tab.

NETWORKING MULTIPLE
XRS AND XRM UNITS
Up to 9 XRS and XRM units may be networked together
to allow for zoning and sequencing across all units. To
connect XPCs together use the following steps:
1. Connect all Xtend units to the network on the same
subnet.
2. The XPC will be the “master” unit.
3. In the web interface click the “Setup” tab and then
the “Network” tab.
4. Under “Master/Remotes IP Configuration” enter the
IP address for each remote unit.
