PROGRAMMING RC68 ON/OFF TRIGGER COMMANDS 

As noted at the beginning of the Programming Section, one of the ISM4 control options has the ISM4 react to 
Xantech RC68 IR Commands for Discrete Power ON/OFF or Toggle Power ON/OFF control of Source 1. When 
using the RC68 Commands, when the ON Button on the system remote is pressed, it will issue the RC68 ON 
Command. The ISM4 will ‘see’ the RC68 ON Command and output the native Source 1 device Power or ON 
command via the Source 1 IR Emitter, (if Source 1 is OFF). In this application, the Power or ON Command for the 
System Reference Device (Source 1) was pre-programmed into the ISM4. (The same programming and 
functionality would then also be true for programming the RC68 OFF Command. RC68 Toggle Power is 
programmed in a similar manner.) To Program RC68 ON/OFF Trigger Commands: 

 
RC68 Discrete ON/OFF Trigger Command Programming 
 
Program 
1. 

Program the 

ISM4 Source 1 ON Macro

 as described in the 

Programming Macros Section

, programming 

the

 IR Command

 from the 

native remote

 for the 

System Reference Device, (Source 1)

Power

 or 

ON 

Command

 to the 

Source 1 ON Macro, Command Structure 1

. IF THE POWER OR ON COMMAND FOR 

SOURCE 1 IS NOT PROGRAMMED TO THIS LOCATION, THE ISM4 WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. 

2. 

Program the 

IR Command

 from the 

native remote

 for the 

System Reference Device, (Source 1)

Power 

or 

OFF Command

 to the 

Source 1 OFF Macro, Command Structure 1

. IF THE POWER OR OFF COMMAND 

FOR SOURCE 1 IS NOT PROGRAMMED TO THIS LOCATION, THE ISM4 WILL NOT FUNCTION 
PROPERLY. 

3. 

Set the 

RC68

Remote

 to 

Code Group 10

. 

4. 

Teach the 

RC68 Command

 from 

Button 00

 to the 

System Remote Button

 that will be used to turn the 

system ON. 

5. 

Teach the 

RC68 Command

 from 

Button 40

 to the 

System Remote Button

 that will be used to turn the 

system OFF. 

 
Test ON 
6. 

With all sources, sensors and emitters connected to the ISM4, and with 

all sources turned OFF

, test the 

system by pointing the 

System Remote

 toward the 

ISM4

 or connected 

IR Receiver

 and press the 

button

with the 

RC68 ON Command

. The 

System Reference Device (Source 1)

 and 

Sources 2-4

 should all turn 

ON. 

Test OFF 
7. 

With 

all sources turned ON

, test the system by pointing the 

System Remote

 toward the 

ISM4

 or connected 

IR Receiver

 and press the button with the 

RC68 OFF Command

. The 

System Reference Device (Source 

1)

 and 

Sources 2-4

 should all turn OFF. 

8. 

If any functions were ‘missed’, test the individual 

ON 

or

 OFF Macro

 for that 

Source

. Re-learn 

IR Commands

and adjust 

delays

 as necessary until the system powers up correctly. 

RC68 Toggle ON/OFF Trigger Command Programming 
Program 
1. 

Program the 

ISM4 Source 1 ON Macro

 as described in the 

Programming Macros Section

, programming 

the 

IR Command

 from the 

native remote

 for the 

System Reference Device, (Source 1)

ON Command

 to 

the 

Source 1 ON Macro, Command Structure 1

. IF THE ON COMMAND FOR SOURCE 1 IS NOT 

PROGRAMMED TO THIS LOCATION, THE ISM4 WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. 

2. 

Program the 

IR Command

 from the 

native remote

 for the 

System Reference Device, (Source 1)

OFF 

Command

 to the 

Source 1 OFF Macro, Command Structure 1

. IF THE OFF COMMAND FOR SOURCE 1 

IS NOT PROGRAMMED TO THIS LOCATION, THE ISM4 WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. 

3. 

Set the 

RC68

Remote

 to Code 

Group 10

 (One, Zero). 

4. 

Teach the 

RC68 Command

 from 

Button 80

 to the 

System Remote Button 

that will be used to turn the 

system ON/OFF. 

Test ON 
5. 

With all sources, sensors and emitters connected to the ISM4, and with all sources turned OFF, test the 
system by pointing the 

System Remote

 toward the 

ISM4

 or connected 

IR Receiver

 and press the 

button
