FRONT PANEL  
The front panel of the 590 is made of acrylic plastic. It should be cleaned with a soft cloth as it scratches  
easily. Behind the panel are five red LEDs and an infrared sensor.  
RED LEDs  
ERROR - Lights when an error occurs in the learning process or when trying to send an  
unprogrammed command.  
PROGRAM - Lights when the PGM (program) button on the rear panel is pressed.  
CONFIRM - Lights after a command has been memorized during programming.  
DELETE - Blinks on and off when the DELETE button on the rear panel is pressed.  
OUTPUT - Lights to indicate when infrared commands are being sent in response to a contact  
closure. Contact closure is the most common form of input to the 590. If other types of inputs are  
used, they will perform the same function as contact closures.

3. Press and hold down the key for the 590 input into which you wish to store the command.  
Remember, the "key" may be a contact closure push-button device, such as the Xantech 598 keypad  
(Fig. 1), or a simple jumper wire, one end connected to the"+" 12VDC terminal and the other end held  
temporarilyontothe"+"terminalofthedesiredinput. NOTE: Ineithercase, youmust havepreviously  
connected ground wires from each of the "" terminals of the inputs you are using back to the ""  
12VDC terminal on the 590 as shown in Fig. 1.  
4. Press and release the button on the remote control that you wish to store. The 590 PROGRAM lamp  
will flicker while the information is being stored.  
5. When the information has been stored, the CONFIRM lamp will turn on. You can now release the key  
for the 590. The CONFIRM lamp will turn off.  
NOTE: If the error LED flashes, you may have a longer code that requires extended memory. See  
"ERROR LAMP AND EXTENDED MEMORY" section, below.  
You have now programmed one command function; one input on the 590 has been programmed to  
sendthesameinfraredcommandasthekeywhichyouhavepressedonthehand-heldremotecontrol.  
Steps 2 through 5 must be repeated for each additional command you wish to store in the other 590  
inputs.  
6. When you have finished storing commands, press the PGM button again to take the 590 out of the  
program mode. The PROGRAM lamp on the front panel will go off.  
Sixteen (16) different commands may be stored in this manner on each of the four (4) banks. Again, you  
must provide a "key" or a wired contact closure, as described above, at every 590 input into which  
you wish to store commands.  
Testing Stored Commands  
Press any of the keys (or touch the wire) on any of the 590 inputs you have programmed. The OUTPUT  
LED will flash, the CONFIRM LED will light and the command should be executed on the audio/video  
equipment.  
ERROR LAMP AND EXTENDED MEMORY  
Some remote control codes require more memory than is normally allocated by the 590’s microprocessor.  
When you try to program one of these codes, the PROGRAM lamp will blink at a slower rate and will be  
followed by a very short flash of the ERROR lamp. The flash of the ERROR lamp is so short that you may  
not notice it the first time it occurs. If this happens, no command will be stored in memory. To store these  
commands, youmustgothroughsteps2through5twice. The590willthenallocatefourtimesasmuch  
memory on the second pass as it did on the first. If one command from a hand-held remote controller  
requires extended memory, the other commands from that controller usually will also require extended  
memory.  
DELETE BUTTON  
The DEL (delete) button on the rear panel can be used to erase any individual command. The PROGRAM  
lamp on the front panel must not be lit. If it is, press the PGM button. The PROGRAM lamp will turn off. Press  
the DEL button. The DELETE lamp will blink continuously. Press the key which has been programmed with  
the command you wish to erase. The DELETE lamp will turn off. You may now, if you wish, reprogram the  
key.  
NOTE: You may overwrite any programmed key with a new command by simply following the PROGRAM-  
MING procedure -- it is not necessary to use the delete button in this case.  
SHORT COMMANDS  
Some commands, such as Channel Up and Channel Down, may skip channels or cause other multiple  
actions if memorized at a long length. If a key on the original hand-held remote controller requires only a  
129  
590-00  
 
short tap for its command to be properly executed, then only a short burst of it should be stored in the 590.  
Step 4 would, therefore, be modified as follows:  
4. Press the key on the remote controller that you wish to store. Hold the key for a very short period of  
time or only as long as you usually press it when controlling the audio/video equipment directly. The  
PROGRAM lamp will flicker while the information is being stored.  
SEQUENCE FUNCTION  
The 590 can also be programmed so that one or more keys can execute up to tenseparate commands each  
that have been previously stored on other individual keys. A single press of a key, programmed with a  
sequence of commands, will then activate multiple command functions on the IR controlled units in a  
system.  
Individual commands must first be stored into the 590 before programming a sequence. In order to explain  
the function of sequencing, the following example of a key pad configured for a VCR will be used.  
In this simple example, an AM/FM receiver will be turned ON, the VCR input selected & a VCR turned ON.  
Begin by first storing the individual commands that you want in the sequence.  
We recommend storing them on another bank such as Bank 2 and reserving Bank 1 for executing the  
sequences.  
NOTE: You can only use one bank for the final execution of commands from the 590 since the bank DIP  
switches are not available to the user. The additional three banks are provided solely for the purpose  
of storing commands for use in sequences!  
A) Store the ON/OFF command of the receiver on Bank 2 in any desired inmput (1-16). (You must keep  
a record of thrse hidden commands).  
B) Store the VCR Source Input command of the receiver on another input on Bank 2.  
C) Store the VCR power ON/OFF command on a third input on Bank 2.  
We can now set up the following sequence:  
1) Turn receiver ON  
2) Turn VCR ON  
3) Select VCR Input on receiver.  
We have purposely placed the VCR input command to follow the VCR ON/OFF command. This allows the  
AM/FM receiver a second or two to stabilize before giving it a second command. The sequence will be  
stored in a key (input) we will call the ON/OFF key.  
Sequence Programming Procedure:  
1. Press PGM (program) button to enter learn mode (PROGRAM lamp will light).  
2. Move Bank 1 DIP switch to ON. Be sure all the others are OFF.  
3. Push SEQ (sequence) button.  
4. Press the key (or touch the +12V wire) on Bank 1 into which you wish to store the sequence. In this  
case, we will call it the ON/OFF key.  
5. Move Bank 1 DIP switch to OFF and Bank 2 DIP switch to ON.  
6. Press the key containing the ON/OFF command for the AM/FM receiver.  
7. Press the key containing the ON/OFF command for the VCR.  
8. Press the key containing the VCR Input command for the AM/FM receiver.  
9. Press the SEQ button to leave the sequence mode.  
10. Press the PGM button to leave the program mode (PROGRAM lamp goes off).  
11. Move the Bank 1 DIP switch to ON and the Bank 2 DIP switch to OFF.  
130  
590-00  
 
A sequence is completed. You may now test it by pressing the ON/OFF key (bank 1). It should now send  
the three commands to turn the AM/FM receiver ON, turn the VCR ON and select the VCR Input on the  
receiver, in that order.  
USING THE 590 PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER WITH NON-  
MOMENTARY INPUTS  
The Model 590 was designed to be used with momentary contact switches. In such applications, a button  
is pressed, the 590 generates an IR command, and the button is released. If the button is not released, the  
590 will either continue to repeat the same IR command or send no signal at all after the initial burst. As  
long as one key is pressed, subsequent actions will be locked out; the other keys (inputs) will not respond.  
SometimesitisdesirabletohaveanIRcommandgeneratedinresponsetosomechangeoractiontotrigger  
automated functions in an audio/video system.  
• For example, if an AM/FM receiver is turned ON manually, an IR command sequence can be made to turn  
a TV set ON and set the channel to 4 at the same time.  
• When the AM/FM receiver is turned OFF manually, an IR command can also turn the TV set OFF.

• To do this, the presence or absence of a constant ON and OFF DC voltage must be converted to  
momentary pulses to properly operate the Model 590.  
• This can be done by using the Model 599 Pulsed Switching Module, connected as shown in Fig. 2.

• By plugging the Model 781C-00 power supply into the switched AC outlet on the back of a stereo receiver,  
a constant 12V DC is applied to the 599. The 599 generates a short pulse (+12V, 100 mSec) at its ON  
terminal when it first sees +5 to +30V DC at its IN+ and IN– terminals (the stereo receiver is turned on).  
• Similarly,itwillgenerateashortpulseatitsOFFterminal(+12V,100mSec)whenthe+5to+30voltsdrops  
to 0 volts (the stereo receiver is turned off).  
• This short pulse operation also permits momentary switches to be connected to other inputs on the 590  
(suchasinputs1and2, asinFig. 2). Thisallowsadditionalsystemcommands, otherthanthoseactivated  
by the 599, to be executed uninhibited.  
Fig. 3 shows another example of how a DC control voltage is converted to momentary ON and OFF pulses  
by the 599 Pulsed Switching Module.  
• Forinstance,aspecialSPSTsensingswitch,asshown,couldbemountedinthespringsofanover-stuffed  
chair.  
• When someone sits down in the chair, the SPST switch is closed causing the 599 to trigger a sequence  
of IR commands stored in the 590. The IR commands could cause the room lights to dim, the drapes to  
close, and music to emanate from the speakers.  
• When the chair is no longer occupied, the SPST switch opens, triggering another set of sequenced  
commands. These, in turn, could cause the lights to brighten, the drapes to open & the music to turn off.  
• Many other applications are possible, limited only by the imagination and needs of the installer and user.  
--- IMPORTANT ---  
• The 590 inputs that are to be activated by the 599 Pulsed Switching Module must first be programmed  
with the necessary commands before connecting the 599.  
• Do this by using the connections and procedures as previously mentioned.  
• The 590 cannot be programmed through the 599!
