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
