SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The SmartPad LCD is a complete control system in a single box – meaning, no extra controller box is
necessary. 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 CCSPLCD is also directly
compatible with the CM8X8/MRC-88 Whole-house Audio Video Entertainment System.
SmartPad LCD is easily programmed with Universal Dragon Software via an RS232 or USB Port (Program
cables and software included). Universal Dragon is used to graphically design your screens and assign IR
and/or RS232 Macros. An internal IR Library is also included for ease of programming.
The SmartPad LCD can be wired into numerous simultaneous application configurations such as outlined below
in Figure 1.

Caution: Remember, the STATUS output can be either an Input (5-30VDC from remote device) to
trigger a Macro within the CSPLCD give LED indication of a unit or Zones power status, or it can be an
OUTPUT (+12VDC from the CSPLCD) to trigger some other external device. This is important to note
before STATUS wiring is made between the CSPLCD and the other device. DO NOT CONNECT AN
OUTPUT TO ANOTHER DEVICES OUTPUT!
EXTERNAL IR INPUT WIRING:
(Figure 3 – 20)
A 4-Terminal WECO connector is provided for convenient wiring of external IR Receivers (780-90, 291-10,
490-90, etc…) to the CSPLCD display. IR commands received here will be rebroadcast and passed out the
Xantech IR Bus of the CSPLCD (Fig. 3 – 19). RC68+ commands received here (of the proper Code Group)
can trigger internal IR or RS232 Macros programmed into the CSPLCD display.
x+12VDC Output: This is a voltage regulated +12VDC output signal derived internal to the CSPLCD unit
from the 16VDC supply voltage. Use this output to power the external IR Receiver. The 12VDC output
can power a load of up to 100mA maximum (80mA effective load).
Caution: This is a 12VDC OUTPUT only. Do not connect a 12V power source to this point. This is
only an OUTPUT to power an external IR Receiver.

xGND: Both GND terminals are internally connected to the same point and represent Chassis Ground of
the unit. Use either terminal to the GND of the external IR Receiver.
xIR Input: Connect to IR Output of an IR Receiver such as the 4such as the 490-90, 291-10, 480-80 or
other.
Use 3-Conductor 18-24AWG wire (4-Conductor if using the STATUS line). Gauge varies by wire run
distance. See Figure 9 for wiring examples.

CM8X8/MRC CONTROLLER AND EXPANSION PORT WIRING:
(Figure 3 – 13/14)
These RJ45 ports are used for interfacing the SmartPad LCD unit directly to the CM8X8/MRC Controller
and/or Expansion CM8X8/MRC Keypads. The CSPLCD can interface to the CM8X8/MRC Products in two
fashions via this connection:
1. Via IR along the dedicated IR lines of the MRC’s CAT5 connection (Pins 4 & 5) (CM8X8/MRC88 &
MRC44)
2. Direct to the CM8X8/MRC88 processor via the internal RS485 communication lines (Future Feature)
Controller:
This port is used to connect the CSPLCD either directly to the CM8X8/MRC88 Controller or to an existing
CM8X8/MRC88 Keypad’s Expansion port. Connect using CAT5 cable terminated at both ends with RJ45
connectors (using the EIA/TIA 568B standard) from the CM8X8/MRC88 Controller/Amplifier (Zone Keypad
Connection located on the rear of the unit) into the RJ45 connector marked “Controller” on the rear of the
CSPLCD keypad.
Note: When the CSPLCD is the last Keypad connected in line with the CM8X8/MRC88, the Zone
Termination Jumper (Figure 3 – 16) needs to be installed.

Caution: Power voltage for the keypad is transmitted along this cable! Incorrect wiring on this cable can
destroy the CM8X8/MRC Keypad and/or the CSPLCD Display! Be sure to test cable for proper connections
before making connections.
Expansion:
This port is used to connect the CSPLCD to an additional CM8X8/MRC88 Keypad. Connect using CAT5
cable terminated at both ends with RJ45 connectors (using the EIA/TIA 568B standard) from the
EXPANSION connector (Figure 3 – 14) on the rear of the CSPLCD Display into the RJ45 connector
marked “Controller” on the rear of the CM8X8/MRC88 keypad.
Note: The Zone Termination Jumper (Figure 3 – 16) needs to be removed in this configuration and the 12V
Out to Expansion jumper (Figure 3 – 15) needs to be installed.
SERIAL RS422/232 PORT WIRING:
(Figure 3 – 21)
This is a bi-directional RS422 port that can be run up to 4000ft. (1.2KM) to communicate with a remote
RS232 device. Use CAT5 cable terminated in RJ45 connectors. The RS422232 converter (sold separately)
and a 12VDC Power Supply are required located at the remote location within 30ft of the RS232 device to
be controlled.
Note: Null Modem Adaptor may be necessary for proper communication. Please consult manufactures
specification of device being controlled.

IR INZONE:
(Figure 3 – 18)
To wire local emitters in-the-zone (emitters used to control components in the same general area as the
SmartPad LCD), wire the IR OUT and GND terminals on the rear of the CSPLCD Display to the IR (white
stripe) and GND of the emitter cable. To control numerous components in the same area, wire these
terminals to an amplified connecting block (Xantech Model 791-44) using 18-20AWG 2-conductor cable. A
2-conductor screw-type removable connector is provided.
Note: IR In Zone port is an CM8X8/MRC88 feature. This is active only when enabled in the MRC88 DragMRC
Software or Universal Dragon Software.
