INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
RT16-10
ADDRESSABLE INFRARED ROUTER
The RT16-10 is a ONE-IN/SIXTEEN-OUT IR switcher which directs an infrared control signal to any one
of 16 output ports, any combination of ports, or all 16 as a group. You can control large groups of TV
monitors (or any other A/V product) from control locations using Xantech IR Receivers or Smart Pads. Up
to 16 devices may be addressed with one RT16-10. Additional RT-10's can be connected for control of
larger numbers of devices, such as TV monitors in a sports bar, by using different IR code groups on each
unit. The "I" and "G" output ports can drive LED indicators placed at each controlled device location so that
you can see which devices are being addressed at any given time.

FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
•The RT16-10 requires the XANTECH RC68+ (or RC68) Hand Held Programmer codes, set to a matching
IR Code Group, to address 16 ports individually or in any combination of groups.
• GP-ON(groupon)andGP-OFF(groupoff)codesfromtheRC68+selectanddeselectall16portstogether
as a group.
• The factory preset IR Code Group is 70. It can be installer changed by use of the RC68+ Programmer.
• ID CODE SWITCH. Switches 2 ~ 6 of this 6 position
DIP swtich are reserved for future enhancements.

• The DATA IN and DATA OUT modular jacks allow
future cascading enhancements.
• One IR input on a 4-terminal plug-in connector permits connection of any Xantech IR Receiver, Keypad,
Controller, etc.
• An LED, adjacent to the IR RCVR INPUT, flashes when any IR commands are received (not just those
that are RT16-10 specific).
• 16IR"O"and"G"emitteroutputsand16"I"and"G"indicatoroutputsarelocatedon16plug-inconnectors.
• The "I" and "G" indicator outputs are current limited to 25 mA, allowing the direct connection of an LED
without the need for a current limiting resistor.
• Power Jack: 2.1mm. 12V DC @ 1 Amp. Requires one 782-00 Power Supply for each RT16-10.
• Universal mounting fits 19" racks.
• Dimensions: 19" x 3 1/2" x 1 1/4".
• Weight: 1 lb. 3 oz.

2. Multiple Routing
IR routes can be established to any desired combination of ports (1
through 16) for simultaneous operation. This is useful if you wish to
address smaller groups of units for special purposes. Simply press
any desired combination of IR routes that you want (e.g., 2, 4, 5, 8,
11 & 16).

3. GP-ON (Group On - all 16 as a group)
In this mode all 16 routes are chosen in-
stantly with the GP-ON command. This is
useful if you wish to quickly address all
groups at the same time.

All 16 IR routes remain on until the GP-OFF command is sent.
NOTE: GP-ON and GP-OFF work in both the Single and Multiple routing modes.
Future Enahncements
The ID CODE SWITCH permits specific addressing logic for future cascading enhancements. NOTE:
Switches 2 ~ 6 must remain OFF (0) except when used with the RC68+ (or RC68) IR commands.

However, when powering IR receivers and keypads directly from the RT16-10, as in Fig. 5, youmust leave
the factory installed jumper wired between the G and GS terminals as shown. This provides the needed
ground return for the IR signal. Remove the jumper only when powering IR source devices separately
and there is a need for electrical isolation.

INSTALLATION
Fig. 5illustratesatypicalapplicationwhereanRT16-10isusedtorouteIRcontrolsignalsto15TVmonitors.
1. For this example, it is assumed that Single Routing with Group ON and OFF is required.
2. Since only one RT16-10 is used in the system, the factory preset Code Group 70 can be used. The
RC68+ Programmer is set to the same number.
3. The RC68+ commands 1 through15 (see Fig. 3) will establish an IR route to each TV individually. The
Group On command will route to all 15 TV's simultaneously.
Subsequent IR commands specific to the TV's, such as channel Up/Down, then operate the functions
of the TV or TV's addressed.
4. In this system, the RC68+ codes are "taught" to a Xantech URC type Learning Remote for use with
the780-10J-boxIRReceiverortoaXantechSmartPad. Otherlearningdevicesmaybeusedprovided
they are capable of learning and outputting the RC68+ codes, with carrier, to the RT16-10.
5. When programming, begin by assigning 17 keys for the RC68+ commands to a keypad or learning
device.
Commands 1 through 15 for individual routing and 16 & 17 for the Group On and Group OFF
commands. Next, assign the keys for the TV function commands, such as channel Up/Down.
6. Teach the commands into the assigned keys, following the instructions that come with the learning
device. On the URC and the Smart Pad3, all these commands could go into one bank.
7. The"IandG"terminalsoneachoftheoutputterminaljacksareprovidedsothatLEDindicators,placed
near each TV Monitor (if desired) will give a visual indication of the currently controlled Monitor. Refer
to Fig. 6. Use LED's with an operating current rating of 20 to 25 mA.
Fig. 7 shows an alternate installation method. In this example, the coaxial cables are used to carry the IR
control signals to the emitters on 15 TV monitors, along with the RF signals. This eliminates the need to
run 2-conductor wire to each TV.
1. UsingtheXantech"XtraLink™"principle, CPL10IR/RFCouplersareusedtoinjecttheIRsignalsonto
the coaxial cable at the "head end" and extract them at the other end to drive the emitters at each TV
monitor.
2. Fig.7alsoillustratestheuseofaXantech789-44ConnectingBlockforcontroloftheTV/Videosources
as well as the TV Monitors. Note that the 789-44 is powered from the RT16-10.
3. A Channel Plus DA500 RF Amp in the RF system overcomes the RF signal losses of the RF splitters
and the long cable lengths.
4. NOTE: Be sure the long cable lengths between the CPL10 Couplers are connected to the terminals
marked RF/IR as shown!
