PROGRAMMABLE KEYPAD SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The SmartPad3is the next generation of the SmartPad2, the world's first wall mounted, IR learning,
programmable modular keypad system. It incorporates many unique features to accommodate the growing
needs of the fast moving custom installation marketplace.
UNIQUE FEATURES
•Eight different Key Modules are provided which dock into three different Base Modules. Over 50
keypad combinations are possible!
•One, two and three gang wall mounting options are available.
•Buttons are replaceable and interchangeable within the key module.
•A selection of buttons with commonly used markings are included with each key module. Many
specialized versions are also separately available from Xantech.
•Pre-labeled buttons do not require any tedious insertion of small icon key "caps".
•Up to 8 memory banks can be selected by source buttons with LED indicators.
•Two tiers of memory per button. 2nd tier is accessed by "Push and Hold". Applies to both source select
and control function keys.
•Sequence commands, including 1 to 30 second delays, can be programmed into any button (including
the 2nd tier) without using up button spaces anywhere else on the keypad.
•Status Input permits source buttons to light up with +5 to +30V representing a system power ON condition
as well as the selected source.
•Intelligent Power Management. Allows power commands to be sent only if the system or zone is Off,
thus preventing unintended shutdown when switching sources.
•IR Commands are "learned" directly from hand held remotes or by using Xantech's exclusive
Dragon Drop-IR™ software.

Smart Pad3
•Network Cloning permits simultaneous transfer of programmed contents from one keypad to as many
as 16 keypads wired on the same IR bus (single zone network).
Cloning can also be done from one keypad to another, or from a "virtual" keypad created with Dragon
Drop-IR™, via the COM Port.
•Dragon Drop-IR™ (optional), a Windows®based program, permits rapid configuring, learning, duplica-
tion and filing of SmartPad3programming.
•Speaker Relay permits local muting of speakers for single zone systems.
•Code Group and Bank Tracking Programming permit specialized configurations.
•E2PROM stores memorized contents. No backup batteries needed!
•Write/Protect switch safeguards memory contents.
•Memory. LM110; 8 kbytes. PM110; 32 kbytes.
•Standard 4 terminal output allows use on same IR bus as all Xantech IR Receivers and controllers.
MODULE DESCRIPTIONS
Perhaps the easiest way to become familiar with the SmartPad3is to gain an understanding of the modules
that make up the system. The modules are divided into two basic groups: the Key (or button) modules, and
the docking
Base modules. The Key modules plug into the Base modules.
The Key Modules
There are ten single-gang key module assemblies currently available. The first six shown have 12 buttons.
The last four have 11 buttons and include a cursor key cluster. The module shells and buttons are available
in white, ivory and black. An illustration and description of each follow:
KM1F KM8
KM2 KM4 KM6
KM1N
The KM1F module can be used as a single-gang single-bank keypad or, with other source selection or
function modules, for 2 or 3-gang configurations. A selection of function buttons are included for function
control commands.
The KM1N is similar to the KM1F except it is intended for direct numeric entry of channels on DSS receivers,
disk/track selection on CD changers, etc. It can be used with other source or function modules for 2 or 3-
gang configurations. Numeric and some function buttons are included.
The KM2 includes 2 source (bank) keys and 10 function control keys. It can be used as a single-gang two-
source (bank) keypad or, with other function modules, in 2 or 3-gang configurations. A selection of source
and function buttons are included.
The KM4 and KM6 are similar to the KM2, except they have 4 source, 8 function and 6 source, 6 function
keys respectively. Again, they can be used in 2 or 3-gang configurations. A selection of source and
function buttons are included.
The KM8 includes 8 source and 4 function keys. Again, it can be used as a single-gang 8-source (bank)
keypad, or, with other function modules, for 2 or 3-gang configurations. A selection of source and function
buttons are included.

Smart Pad3
The CM1N is similar to the CM1F except that it is set up for use with 6 numeric control buttons as well as
the 5 cursor keys. Numeric and cursor buttons are included.
The CM1F module includes 6 function control keys plus a cursor button cluster with Up, Down, Left, Right,
and Enter keys. The cursor keys can be used with sources that have menu driven on-screen displays.
Cursor keys and a selection of function buttons are included.
The CM4 is similar to the CM1F except that it is set up for use with 4 source (bank) and 2 function keys as
well as the 5 cursor keys. Cursor keys and a selection of source and function buttons are included.
The CM6 is similar to the CM1F except that it is set up for use with 6 source (bank) keys as well as the 5
cursor keys. Cursor keys and a selection of source buttons are included.
The Base Modules
There are three base modules in the SmartPad3system into which the Key Modules are docked. They
contain the electronics for programming & memory (except the EM110) and include flanges for J-box
mounting. An illustration and description of each follow:

EM110
The PM110 dual gang Programmable Module is the base module for programming all of the commands
and functions required for each installation. All programming, including sequences (macros), is done with
the PM110 (unless done with Dragon Drop-IR™).
The LM110 Learning Module is intended for single gang applications and must receive its programming
from a PM110 or Dragon Drop IR™ system. Programs are transferred from the PM110 or Dragon Drop IR
to the LM110 with a 2-step transfer command.
The EM110 is a single gang Expansion Module. It has no memory and serves only to expand the number
of key functions for the PM110 in 3-gang configurations.

BASIC CONFIGURATIONS & PROGRAMMING
Now that we have a conceptual understanding of the basic SmartPad3system, let's dive right in and create
three basic module and button configurations and apply the applicable programming.
A Two Gang Configuration
Suppose a client wants to control an AM/FM stereo system from a remote room with one 2-gang keypad
and that he has the following equipment and system requirements:
1. An AM/FM receiver and 4 sources: TUNER (AM/FM), two CD changers and a cassette TAPE deck.
2. When a source button is pressed, the Smart Pad must turn on the AM/FM receiver and the associated
source.
3. The keypad must have the following control function commands for each source:
TUNER: Tuner Up/Down (scroll of preset stations), AM/FM (select).
CD 1 and CD 2: Play, Scan Forward/Reverse, Track Forward/Reverse, Disk+, Disk– (select), Pause,
Stop.
TAPE: Play Forward, Play Reverse, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause, Stop.
4. Speakers in the remote room must be mutable by using the relay in the SmartPad3.
This is the basic client specification for this application of the SmartPad3.
The next step is to determine what SmartPad3modules and keypad buttons are required to perform this
job, as follows:
1. Since there are 4 sources, 4 banks will be required. We will need the KM4 for the first Key Module.
2. Since there are a good number of control functions to perform, we will need the KM1F for the second
Key Module.
3. Now, since this is a 2-gang configuration, we need a PM110 Base Module into which we plug the KM1F
and the KM4. Fig. 1 shows the basic configuration.

4. The next step is to determine exactly what buttons are required
to carry out the control functions needed.
5. We begin this process by assigning the Source buttons first;
CD1, TUNER, CD2 and TAPE. See Fig. 2.
6. Next, we assign the function control buttons based on the list of
functions given on page 7.
NOTE: Most of the buttons for steps 5 and 6 are available in the
SOURCE bag of buttons supplied with the KM4 and in the FUNCTION
bag of buttons supplied with the KM1F. Buttons CD1, OFF, RAN-
DOM, A/B, * and (reverse play) are not supplied but are available
separately from Xantech. They are listed in the dealer price list (along
with all buttons currently available for the SmartPad3 system). They should be ordered at the same time as
the other keypad parts.
7. Now that all the buttons have been assigned (as shown in Fig. 2), it is necessary to insert them into
the KM1F and the KM4 module shells. Then insert the completed key modules into the PM110. See
page 18 for Button and Module Assembly instructions.
NOTE: In this example, the button and module positions are placed in what is considered an ergonomically
pleasing arrangement. You may, however, place the buttons in any arrangement you wish, to best fit taste
and application.

Controllers

Smart Pad3
The only exception to this is the 4 source buttons. They need to be
kept in the 4 upper locations of the KM4 in order for the source
indicators and bank selections to operate.
You may also reverse the position of the KM1F and the KM4
modules; the basic operation of the keypad will be identical.
8. The keypad is now ready to be wired into the total system. See
Fig. 3. Power may then be applied and we can proceed with the
Programming of each key.
Programming a Two Gang Configuration
Before proceeding with this section, it is recommended that you read
"PROGRAMMING THE SMARTPAD3™ ", page 20, where full pro-
gramming details are given. The following is a brief procedure,
specific to this installation example. It assumes you already have
some familiarity with the programming procedures. NOTE: STATUS

5. Press DELAY. DELAY LED will flash. Press DELAY once again to enter a 1 second delay. (The
1 second delay allows some time for the AM/FM receiver to power up to be sure it will execute the CD
source command).
6. Press CNCL to return to SEQ mode.
7. Point the AM/FM receiver remote at IR window and press it's CD1 (source) button.
8. When the CD1 code is learned, the SEQ LED will flash then go steady when you release the CD1 key
on the remote.
9. Press CNCL
twice to leave the sequence mode.
You can now test the learned commands. But first, be sure the AM/FM receiver's Power is turned OFF and
the emitters are placed on each of the components as shown in Fig. 3. Now press the CD1 button. The AM/
FM receiver should turn ON and it's source selector should switch to the CD1 position.
Using the same procedure, program the remaining source buttons. Just be sure to press the correct source
button in steps 2 & 7 above. As you complete each source (bank) button, test it before going on. Repeat
the procedure, as necessary, until correct operation is obtained.
When the source buttons are complete, proceed to program each of the 20 function buttons as follows:
1. First, press CD1 to select the CD1 bank. The functions that apply to this source (bank) will now be
"taught" (programmed) into the applicable function buttons.
2. Press PGM. The PGM LED will flash.
3. Press (play) button. The PGM LED will come on steady.
4. Point the CD1 (CD player) handheld remote at the IR window and press it's (play) button.
5. When the code is learned, the PGM LED will flash again, indicating it is ready to learn a command at
another button.
6. Press (reverse scan) button. The PGM LED will come on steady.
7. Point the CD1 remote at the IR window and press it's (reverse scan) button.
8. When the code is learned, the PGM LED will flash again, indicating it is ready to learn a command at
another button.
9. Using this same procedure, program all the remaining commands that are applicable to the CD1 as
follows: ( forward scan), (reverse skip), (forward skip), (pause), (stop), RANDOM, DISC
–,
and
DISC
+
).
10. When finished, press CNCL to leave the PGM mode.
At this point, check all commands to see that they operate correctly. Reprogram as necessary.

14. Select each bank (source button), one at a time, and program these function buttons from the AM/
FM receiver's remote. Program the MUTE button with the speaker relay MUTE TOGGLE command.
See "Speaker Relay" section).
15. When you have completed all programming, you can transfer this whole command set to any number
of additional keypads (identically configured) that you may need in multiroom installations. Refer to the
"Command Transfers (Cloning)" section.
NOTE: The * (asterisk) key is not used in this particular application.
A Single Gang Configuration
Many times a client wants a very simple keypad system with only a few basic functions or wishes to have
minimum intrusion into the room decor. In this case, a single gang application of the SmartPad3would be
appropriate. We will assume that the client has the following equipment and system requirements:
1. An AM/FM receiver and 4 sources: TUNER (AM/FM), two CD changers and a cassette TAPE deck.
2. When a source button is pressed, it must turn the AM/FM receiver ON along with the associated
source.
3. The keypad will have the following control function commands for each source:
TUNER: Tuner Up/Down (scroll of preset stations).
CD 1 and CD 2: Play, Track Forward/Reverse, Pause, Stop, Disc +.
TAPE: Play Forward, Fast Forward/Rewind, Pause, Stop.
4. Speakers in the remote room must be mutable by using the relay in the SmartPad3.
This is the basic client specification for this application of the SmartPad3.
The next step is to determine what SmartPad3modules and keypad buttons are required to perform this
job, as follows:
1. Since there are 4 sources, we can use the KM4 Key Module, which provides 4 sources with status
indicators and 8 function keys.
2. Now, since this is a 1-gang configuration, we need an LM110 Base Module into which we plug the
KM4, as shown in Fig. 5.
3. The next step is to determine exactly what buttons are needed to carry out the control functions
needed.
4. Again, we begin this process by assigning the Source buttons first;
CD1, TUNER, CD2 and TAPE. See Fig. 5.
5. Next, we assign the function control buttons based on the list of
functions given on page 12.
NOTE: Most of the buttons for steps 4 and 5 are provided in the
SOURCE and FUNCTION bags of buttons supplied with the KM4.
Buttons CD 1 and OFF are not supplied but are available separately
from Xantech. They are listed in the dealer price list (along with all
buttons currently available for the SmartPad3 system). They should
be ordered at the same time as the other keypad parts.

6. Now that all the buttons have been assigned (as shown in Fig. 5), it is necessary to assemble them
into the KM4 key module. Then insert the completed key module into the LM110.
See "Button and Module Assembly", page 18, for instructions.
NOTE: In this example the buttons are placed in what is considered an ergonomically pleasing
arrangement. Again, you may place the buttons in any arrangement you wish, to best fit taste and
application.
The only exception to this is the 4 source buttons. They need to be kept in the 4 upper locations in
order for the source indicators and bank selections to operate.
7. The keypad is now ready to be wired into the total system. See Fig. 6. Power may then be applied
and we can proceed with the Programming of each button.
Programming a Single Gang Configuration
As mentioned on page 6, the LM110 must receive it's programming from a PM110 or Dragon Drop IR™.
(This means that you, the installer, must have a PM110 or Dragon Drop IR on hand, to program LM110's
for single gang applications). Before proceeding with this section, it is recommended that you read
"PROGRAMMING THE SMARTPAD3™ " section, where full programming details are given. The following
is a brief procedure, specific to this installation example.
NOTE: STATUS and AC power management are accomplished using sequenced commands and the
Switched AC Outlet on the AM/FM receiver. Refer to Fig. 6.
We'll begin by "teaching" commands to the 4 source (bank) buttons:
1. Insert the KM4, with selected buttons installed,
into the left bank of a PM110. See Fig. 7.
2. Be sure the PM110 is powered, by wiring it to a connecting block same as shown in Fig. 3.
3. Press SEQ. The SEQ LED will flash.
4. Press CD1. CD1 LED will come on and the SEQ LED will come on steady.
NOTE: Turn the AM/FM receiver ON so that +12V is applied to the STATUS line. This ensures that
the source button LED's will light.
5. Point the AM/FM receiver remote at the IR window and press it's POWER key.

POWER key on the remote.
7. Press DELAY. DELAY LED will flash. Press
DELAY once again to enter a 1 second delay.
(The 1 second delay allows some time for the
AM/FM receiver to power up to be sure it will
execute the CD source command).
8. Point the AM/FM receiver remote at IR window
and press it's CD1 (source) button.
9. WhentheCD1codeislearned,theSEQLEDwill
flash then go steady when you release the CD1
key on the remote.
10. Press CNCL twice to leave sequence mode.
NOTE: Because we have fewer keys to work with in
a single gang configuration, we will use the CD1
button, on the 2nd tier, to provide the Disc+ function.
This means the user would 1st press CD1 button for less that 1 sec. to select the source. He could then
press the CD1 button for more than 1 sec. to cause the CD changer to step (or skip) forward one disc at
a time, as desired.
11. Press SEQ, then CD1, then CNCL, then CD1 again. This places you in the 2nd tier of CD1.
(See also Tiering, page 25).
12. Point the CD1 remote at IR window and press it's DISC+ or DISC SKIP button.
13. When the code is learned, the SEQ LED will flash then go steady when you release the key on the
remote.
14. Press CNCL two times to exit the programming tier mode.
You can now test these learned commands. But first, be sure the AM/FM receiver's Power is turned OFF
and the emitters are placed on each of the components as shown in Fig. 6.
Using the same procedure, program the remaining source buttons. Just be sure to press the correct source
button in steps 4 & 11 above as you go from source to source. Remember that you do not need the tier
command except for sources CD1 and CD2 (for DISC+).
As you complete each button, test it before going on. Repeat the procedure, as necessary, until correct
operation is obtained.

When the source buttons are complete, proceed to
program each of the 8 function buttons, using essen-
tially the same steps as outlined for the 2-gang con-
figuration, previous. The only difference is there are
fewer buttons involved. Also, the TUNER up/down
tuning commands need to be stored under the and
buttons on the TUNER bank.
NOTE: A 2nd tier could be added to the TUNER
button for AM/FM selection, if desired.
Program Transfer
Now that programming is complete, we need to trans-
fer the learned commands from the PM110 to the
LM110. Proceed as follows:

A Three Gang Configuration
For the client who wants to control a larger group of sources and functions than that permitted by two gangs,
it is necessary to move up to a three gang configuration of the SmartPad3. Again, let's assume the client
has the following equipment and system requirements:
1. An AM/FM receiver and 6 sources: TUNER (AM/FM), a CD changer, an LD (Laser Disc player), a
cassette TAPE deck, a SAT (Satellite receiver) and a VCR.
2. When a source button is pressed, it must turn on the AM/FM receiver and the associated source.
3. The keypad must have the following control function commands for each source:
TUNER: Tuner Up/Down (scroll of preset stations), AM/FM (select).
CD: Play, Scan Forward/Reverse, Track Forward/Reverse, Track select (using numeric entry), Disk
select (using numeric entry), Pause, Stop.
LD: Play, Scan Forward/Reverse, Chapter Forward/Reverse, Pause, Stop.
TAPE: Play Forward, Fast Forward/Rewind, Pause, Stop.
SAT: Menu, Guide, Cursor (Arrow) Keys, Channel Up/Down, Channel Select (using numeric entry)
and Recall (previous channel).
VCR: Play, Scan/Fast Forward/Rewind, Pause, Stop.
This is the basic client specification for this application of the SmartPad3.
As with the previous configurations, the next step is to determine the SmartPad3modules and keypad
buttons needed to perform this job. Using the client specification and similar procedures to those on pages
7 and 8, we have come up with the module and button assignments as shown in Fig. 9.
When making these choices, keep the following in mind:
1. Since both a numeric and a cursor module are
used, special consideration is needed to best
utilizetheavailablefunctionkeys.Forinstance,
the CM1F cursor module was chosen for ease
of use with the SAT receiver. You will need,
however, to use these keys on the CD, LD,
TAPE and VCR banks to perform such func-
tions as Track Forward/Reverse, Chapter For-
ward/Reverse,Scan/FastForward/Rewind,etc.
2. The numeric buttons can be used for direct
entry of AM/FM stations, disc and/or track

Programming a Three Gang
Configuration
1. When you have completed the assembly of the buttons and
the modules and have installed them into the PM110 &
EM110 as shown in Fig. 9, connect them together with the
ribbon cable as shown in Fig. 10. Locate red stripe side of
cable as shown.
2. You can now program this configuration in the same manner as described in the procedures on pages
9 through 11.
3. When you have completed all programming, you can transfer this whole command set to any number
of additional keypads (identically configured), as needed, in multi-room installations. Refer to the
"Command Transfers (Cloning)" section.
BUTTON AND MODULE ASSEMBLY
The key module assemblies have been designed specifically so that they can be custom configured with
the desired button arrangements. To assemble, disassemble, change and reassemble, as desired,

4. As the 4 small retainer tabs recede from the slots on the sides of
the key module shell, press down on the buttons with your
thumbs.
learning single, sequenced (macros) and tiered commands under each button for any of the keypad
configurations. The system supports up to a maximum of 8 banks (sources) whether one uses the single,
dual, or 3-gang configurations. The actual number of banks depends on the key modules you select for the
job. Allowable choices are 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 banks.
A summary of the SmartPad3programming features are:
• Learns pulse or carrier IR type commands.
• Supports IR commands, "push & hold" tiering and sequence commands on any key.
• Commands storable into 1 to 8 banks, selectable by bank keys.
• Editing of command sequences.
• Intelligent Power Management [inhibits first command in a sequence (power On/Off) if STATUS
terminal sees +5 to +30V DC].
• Bank tracking signal switches all keypads to the same bank, irrespective of which keypad’s source
button is pressed (provided the keypads are on the same IR bus network).
• Network Addressing allows code transfer over the IR bus (network) from a programmed keypad to as
many as 16 keypads simultaneously.
• RS232 data compatible COM port permits cloning between keypads and from Dragon Drop IR™
software.
• Optional Windows based Dragon Drop IR™ software permits complete virtual keypad programming
on a PC with code transfer to individual keypads via the COM port.
• Speaker Relay programming.
• Code Group Programming.
• Bank Tracking Programming.
• User configurability of buttons into key modules and key modules into base units.
5. The key module shell should now move away from the key
module PCB and base assembly.
CAUTION: To avoid damage, be sure not to use exces-
sive force when executing this disassembly procedure.
6. When you have made the desired button changes, reas-
semble the unit using the steps given under "Assembly".

17. WRITE PROTECT Switch. Must be in WRITE position for all programming. PROTECT position
prohibits programming and protects all stored data from unintended erasure.
18. NETWORK ADDRESS - 16 position (0~F) switch allows up to 16 PM110/LM110 modules to have a
unique network address. Each module on a common IR bus (network) must be set to a unique network
address, prior to programming, to allow network cloning.
PROGRAMMING
Power Up: Begin by connecting the keypad to a typical system such as that shown in Fig 3. Be sure the
STATUS terminal is connected to +12V so that the source (bank) LEDs will light. Also, set the WRITE/
PROTECT switch to WRITE and the NETWORK ADDRESS to a
unique position for each keypad used
in the system.
The following conditions are established when power is applied:
• The unit resets and operation begins.
• The keypad defaults to bank #1 (top left source button) after each power up.
• The unit is now ready for programming, communications with a PC or cloning of programmed contents
from one keypad to another.
Learning IR Command Codes
To teach IR commands to the unit, refer to Figs. 15 &
16 and proceed as follows:
1. Press the desired Source (bank) button. The
Source button LED will light.
2. Press the PGM (program) button. The PGM
LED will flash.
CAUTION: Use a blunt tool when pressing the
programmingbuttons, such as the tip of a3.5mm
mini plug. Do not use pens, pencils, etc., as they
may damage or contaminate the switch mate-
rial.
3. Now press the desired target key (one of the
Function or Source buttons).
With the target button selected and the PGM
LED has stopped flashing, you are ready to input
the IR command from the handheld remote
control.
NOTE: If you change your mind and wish to
teach a different button than the one you just
selected, simply press CNCL once, and press
the other button.
4. With the remote pointed at the IR window (1 to 2 inches away), press the key on the remote that has
the command you want to save.
The PGM & SEQ LED's will flash while storing. When storing is complete, the PGM LED will flash again
by itself.
NOTE: If the ERR (error) LED flashes, an error has occurred during programming (such as holding
the handheld remote too far away from the keypad, for example), indicating the unit has not learned

15
Controllers

Smart Pad3
the command successfully. If this happens, wait for the PGM LED to come back on steady and repeat
step 4.
5. Now that the PGM LED is flashing again, press another target button and input another IR command.
When you are done learning commands, press CNCL (cancel) to exit the PGM mode. The PGM LED
will go off.
CAUTION: You must leave the PGM mode by pressing CNCL (press twice if in SEQ mode) before
programming a different source (bank).
NOTE: If you are using a STATUS Jumper (Fig. 17) or programming for a ZPR68,
it will be necessary
for you to program Source commands twice into each bank , using the SEQ (sequence) button, in order
for the Source commands to operate.
Sequence Programming (Macros)
You can teach more than one IR command per button by using the Sequence Programming feature. This
permits several commands to be executed by one key press to carry out a macro of several system
functions. To teach a sequence of commands to a single button, do the following:
1. Press the SEQ (sequence) button. The SEQ LED will flash.
2. Now press the desired target button just as when doing regular IR programming. (This can be a Source
or a Function button). The SEQ LED will come on steady to indicate that it is ready for IR input.
3. Point the remote at the IR window (1 to 2 inches away) and press the key on the remote that has
the command you want in the sequence.
4. When the command has been learned, the SEQ and PGM LEDs begin flashing and continue to flash
until you release the key on the remote.
5. The SEQ LED will then turn on steady again to show that it is ready for another command.

8. To exit the sequence mode completely, press
CNCL two times. The SEQ LED will go out.
Power Management
Normally you want a power command under each
Source (bank) button so that the system is turned ON
no matter which Source button is pressed. However,
without Power Management, pressing a 2nd Source
button would send out a 2nd power command, turning
the system OFF.
• TheSmartPad3power management system pre-
vents this by stopping the first command in the
sequence (the power command) when the STA-
TUS terminal is High (+5 to +30V DC).
• Similarly, when the system is OFF, the first
command (power) will be sent since the STA-
TUS terminal is Low (0V).
• This assumes that a High and a Low voltage,
representing the ON and OFF condition of the

system or zone, is applied to the STATUS terminal on the rear of the keypad.
• See Figs. 3 and 6for typical connections for STATUS operation.
To take advantage of power management, program two or more sequence steps on each Source button.
Typical command sequences, with
Power first , might be as follows:
a) TUNER Source Sequence (3 steps):
Power, Delay, Tuner (source)
b) CD Source Sequence (4 steps):
Power, Delay, CD (source), Play (CD play)
NOTE: If power management is not used (i.e. 3-wire hookups), a short jumper must be connected between
the STATUS and +12V terminals (see Fig. 17).
This powers the source button LEDs so they will come on with the selected bank. In this case, you must
put the system power command under an ON/OFF button (not under the source buttons).
The user will
then need to make two initial button presses, one for ON and one to select the Source
. (See also
NOTE top of page 24).
CAUTION:ZPR68 Installers. When programming the SmartPad
3
for control of a ZPR68,youwill need
to place the source select commands twice under each source button (in a 2-step sequence) . This
permits sources to be selected after zone turn-on. (They would otherwise be blocked when zone turn-on
drives the STATUS line high).
Tiering
The SmartPad3has the ability to program sequences or single commands onto two tiers or levels on any
Source or Function button. The 2nd tier is accessed by a "Push & Hold" of the tiered button. This is very
useful when working with a limited number of buttons, such as single gang applications of the SmartPad3.
• Aftertiering is programmed, the 1st tier is activated when thebuttonispressed for less than 1 second.
• The 2nd tier is accessed by a "Press & Hold" of the same button for more than 1 second.
• The 1st tier would typically be used to perform
an initial function, such as power on, source
selection, track skip, etc.
• The 2nd tier would typically be used for a
secondary function that is related to the first tier,
such as music scan tiered on a track skip button
for CD.
1. To program the 1st tier of a button, simply
program a single command or a sequence fol-
lowing steps 1 to 6 under "Sequence Program-
ming" (page 24).
2. Press CNCL once to end the sequence, then
pressthedesignated target key
again inorder
to activate the 2nd tier. (If a 2nd tier is not
desired at this point, press CNCL a second time
to exit the Sequence mode. The key will then
default to single tier operation).
3. Once in the 2nd tier, program the desired com-
mand or sequence (with delays if needed, fol-
lowing steps 2 to 6 below). When finished, hit
CNCL
twice to exit.

Programming Delays
Some IR controlled units may require an increased time interval between certain commands, particularly
between a Power ON command and a Play command, for instance, to operate correctly.
• When programming sequences, you can place delays between such commands so that sufficient time
is given for all functions to execute.
• TheSmartPad3allows the insertion of timed delays atany point withina sequence. Proceed asfollows:
1. Press the SEQ button to enter commands as described under Sequence Programming .
2. Just before you enter a command that requires a delay, press the DELAY button to enter the DELAY
mode. The DELAY LED will flash.
3. Now press the DELAY button, successively, to enter the number of seconds of delay you want. (Each
press of the DELAY button,
after the initial press, adds 1 second, up to a maximum of 30 seconds).
NOTE: The SmartPad3system already includes a 1/3 second interval between each command placed
in a sequence. Each second you add will be in addition to the 1/3 second that already exits.
4. Press CNCL
once to exit from DELAY mode and return to Sequence mode.
5. Next, enter the command that requires the delay. Continue programming the remaining commands
you desire in the sequence. Just before entering another command requiring a delay, repeat steps 2,
3 and 4 above.
6. When finished with the sequence, press CNCL
twice . The delay times entered are now stored as part
of the sequence.
Sending IR Commands
Once you have “taught” the desired IR commands and/or sequences to the keypad, and have pressed
CNCL to leave the programming modes, you may send them to the controlled equipment simply by pressing
the key that relates to them. It is recommended that you test each set of commands you have placed in a
bank before proceeding to the next bank.
Deleting Commands
If you want to delete a command or sequence from any button, simply do the following:
1. Press the DEL (delete) button. The DEL LED will flash.
2. Press the target button that has the command(s) you wish to delete. The DEL LED will come on steady.
3. When erasure is complete, the DEL LED will resume flashing. If you wish to delete from other buttons,
you can do so now by repeating the procedure from step 2.
NOTE: One press of the target key will delete all commands in a sequence
and on the 2nd tier (if used).
If you want to delete or change individual commands in a sequence, you must do so in the Sequence
Editing mode.
4. When done, press CNCL to exit delete mode. The DEL LED will go out.
Sequence Editing
Long sequences (probably with some delays interspersed between commands) will likely have to be edited
and experimented with to achieve correct timing control of the associated equipment.
• Editing is done in the EDIT mode using the STEP, DELete, PGM and DELAY buttons.
• It is best to think of the command sequence as a set of items laid end to end. When you activate the
EDIT mode, it sets the edit pointer to the front of this string of items.
• You use the STEP key to individually transmit and step through each command in the sequence. This
lets you see which commands are where, if all are working correctly, etc.
• If you activate a command that does not work or is incorrect, you can press the DEL key to remove
it and then the PGM key to store a new command in its place.

18

Smart Pad3
• Additionally, you may insert delays into the sequence, as needed, for slow responding equipment.
• In this way you can work through the entire sequence, fixing problems as you go.
To edit a sequence, proceed as follows:
1. Press the EDIT key. The EDIT LED will flash.
NOTE: If you press the EDIT button and then change your mind or want to exit the operation at any
time, press the CNCL button twice.
2. Press the button having the sequence you wish to edit. The EDIT LED will go on steady. This indicates
that the sequence is open for editing. The edit pointer (insertion point) will be at the first item in the
sequence.
3. Press the STEP key to preview the first command in the sequence.
4. The command transmits. Watch to see what happens with the controlled unit. (Note: The TRNS LED
lights during transmit).
5. The edit insertion point will now be positioned in front of the next command in the sequence.
Deleting a Command Within a Sequence
6. If the command you just transmitted did not work and you wish to delete it, press the DEL button. The
DEL LED lights, then goes out, indicating the command has been deleted.
You may now STEP to the next command.
The DEL button will always delete the command that was last transmitted.
Inserting a Command
7. To insert a new or replacement command, press the PGM button. The PGM LED will come on steady.
8. Input the IR command in the normal manner.
9. When stored, the PGM and SEQ LED will flash, then go out. You may now STEP to the next command.
NOTE: You do not have to delete anything to add a new command to the sequence.
Inserting a Delay
A delay may also be inserted in a similar manner.
10. Step through the sequence to a place just ahead of the command where you wish to insert a delay.
11. Press the DELAY button. The DELAY LED will light.
12. Enter the desired delay time (see Programming Delays, step 3).
13. Press CNCL once to exit delay mode. The DELAY LED will go off indicating the delay is now stored.
You may now STEP to the next command.
NOTE: If you wish to step through the sequence again for further checks and editing, you will need
to repeat the editing process from step #1.
When you have finished editing, press CNCL twice to exit the EDIT mode. You may now press the edited
button to check for proper operation.
Editing the 2nd Tier
14. Press CNCL, CNCL, EDIT, target button, CNCL, target button. You are now in the 2nd tier.
15. Edit this tier in the same manner by following steps 3 through 13.
Speaker Relay
Each of the PM110 and LM110 modules has a speaker relay built into it permitting local speakers to be
muted independently of speakers in other rooms. The relays are controlled in two ways - internally coded
(non-IR) to any desired button on the keypad and with Xantech RC68+ (or RC68) Programmer (optional)
IR commands. The IR codes can be taught to a learning remote or to a keypad, if desired.

Programming for the Speaker Relay
The relay will respond to commands for MUTE ON (sound off),
MUTE OFF (sound on), and MUTE TOGGLE. Since the relay is
switching speakers in the local room where the ON/OFF condition is
audibly discerned, the MUTE TOGGLE command would most often
be used. However, the MUTE ON and MUTE OFF (pair) commands
are also made available, to allow a user to control other rooms (i.e.,
children's rooms) from a central location (i.e., parent's room) with a
known ON or OFF condition.
To code the keypads to receive unique RC68 commands, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the keypads for the zone onto a common IR bus (network) along with an IR receiver as shown
in Fig. 20. Be sure the system is powered.
2. If you have not already done so, set each SmartPad3to a unique NETWORK ADDRESS such as 0,
1, 2, 3, etc. (Fig. 21).
3. Set the WRITE/PROTECT switch to WRITE on the 1st keypad (i.e., the PM110 keypad with Network
Address 0) and press RESTORE button.
4. Set the rear switches on the back of an RC 68 or RC68+ to FA.
5. Direct the RC68 toward the IR receiver and press it's upper left-most key. See Fig. 22.
6. The active Source (bank) button LED on the SmartPad3will flash four times.

Setting for
SmartPad3
7. Within 3 seconds, press the button on the
SmartPad3where you want Relay Mute ON (i.e.
a MUTE ON button. See Fig. 24). The active
Source button LED will flash twice to confirm
your action.
8. Again, within 3 seconds, press the button on the
SmartPad3where you want Relay Mute OFF
(i.e. a MUTE OFF button). The active Source
button LED will flash twice to confirm your
action followed by four flashes to indicate the
end of Relay Mute programming for Address 0.
The 1st SmartPad3 has now been coded to respond to
the MUTE ON and MUTE OFF buttons (pair) you
selected on the SmartPad3.
It will also respond, over the IR network, to the #0 ON/
TOG and OFF IR commands from the RC68+ (or
RC68) set to the default Code Group D8. Refer to
Figs. 22 & 23.
9. Test the IR commands by setting the rear
switches on the RC68 to D8 (the factory default
Code Group setting for the SmartPad3).
10. Pressing the #0 ON/TOG IR command on the
RC68 should cause the Relay to MUTE ON (if
OFF). Pressing the #0 OFF button should cause
the Relay to MUTE OFF (if ON). Refer to Fig. 22.
Programming the remaining SmartPad3's
Eachremaining keypad will need to respond to unique
mutingcommands, otherwise muting one room on the
IR network with the RC68 IR commands, will mute all
the rest as well.
Since any PM110 can store unique coding for up to 16
addresses, we will use the 1st keypad to program
codes for the rest, as follows:
11. On the 1st keypad (PM110), change the NET-
WORK ADDRESS switch to match an address
of the next keypad in the system (i.e., 1) then
press RESTORE on the 1st keypad.
12. Repeat steps 4 through 8.
13. Repeat steps 11 and 12 for each of the remain-
ing addresses you have for the rest of the Smart
Pad3's.

Set Each Keypad to a Unique Network Address
IMPORTANT: You must press RESTORE each time you change the NETWORK ADDRESS in step
11.
At this point the coding that causes each keypad to respond to its own mute buttons and to the unique RC68
commands over the IR Network, for each keypad address, is stored in the 1st keypad. To transfer this coding
to the rest of the keypads, do a Network Transfer as follows:
14. Set the WRITE PROTECT switch to the WRITE position and press RESTORE on all keypads.
