INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
686-10
REMOTE SPEAKER SWITCHER
The 686-10 is an infrared remote controlled Speaker Switcher. It allows the user to turn six stereo pairs of
speakers ON and OFF by way of IR commands from a Xantech RC68+ (or RC68) Programmer. The RC68+
commands are "taught" to learning devices and passed to the 686-10 signal input terminals via Xantech IR
receivers and keypads. Individual speaker pairs may be turned on or off in any particular room or all
speakers turned on and off from any room for a "party mode".

The Model 686-10 Remote Speaker Switcher
FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
• 200 watts per channel capacity.
• Switchable 4-Ohm series resistor for amplifier protection.
• Seven 4-terminal plug-in connectors. One for the amplifier input and 6 for the stereo, relay-switched
speaker outputs.
• Isolated Left and Right Grounds allow use of bridging type power amplifiers.
• 4-terminal IR input for Xantech IR Receivers, SmartPads, connecting blocks and other devices.
• IR Confirm LED lights only with RC68+ On/Off, Toggle & Group IR commands.
• RC68+ IR commands permit Toggle, Pair and Group mode operations as well as different IR codes for
use of multiple 686-10's. The 686-10's Code Group number is 98.
• Universal mounting fits 19-inch racks or any 3-1/2" X 19" surface. Projects about 2-3/4 inches behind
panel with cables connected.
• Requires RC68+ Programmer (or an RC68) and 782-00 Power Supply.
• Power: 12 VDC @ 300mA.
• Dimensions: 19" W x 3-1/2" H x 2-1/4" D.
RC68 PROGRAMMER / REMOTE CONTROL
The RC68+ Programmer (available separately) contains all commands necessary to operate the 686-10
(see Fig. 2).
• You will need it to program universal learning devices such as the Xantech URC-1 learning remote, the
Xantech Smart Pads, the 590 Controller, the 710 Fone Link, etc., with commands that operate the 686-
10.
• NOTE: The RC68+ codes operate several other Xantech models as well, such as the RS41AV, CC12,
ZPR68, etc. Therefore, only the button descriptions that apply to the operation of the 686-10 are
listed. All others should be ignored.

Summary
® 2 686-10 CAUTION: While the RC68+ can be used as a handheld remote control, it is highly recommended it notbe given to the final user for the following reasons: • Since it includes adjustable code groups, the user may inadvertently alter the installed configurations. • Also, since the user will re...

However, if the power to the 686-10 is interrupted by a power failure or other reason, the internal memory will retain the last selectedswitched status for each of the sp...
® 4 NOTE: When the 686-10 is connected to Xantech 760-00 Match Maker room volume controls, as shownin Fig. 3, the PROTECTION RESISTOR is not necessary, since the Match Makers, when set correctly, willprovide the proper impedance match to the multiple speakers with virtually no power loss.
