ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Xantech ISM4 Intelligent System Manager. The ISM4 is the  
answer to the age old problem of simply and inexpensively keeping Home Entertainment System devices in sync.  
The ISM4 can sync up to four IR controlled devices when referenced to one of those devices, typically a Video  
Monitor, Home Theater A/V Receiver or Whole House Audio/Video Entertainment System Controller. All four  
system devices are referenced to the ISM4 via Xantech Sensing Modules. There are 6 different sensors that can  
be used to detect voltage, contact closure, video, audio, light or current. When the System Reference Device is  
turned ON, the ISM4 will detect the change of state for the referenced device (from OFF to ON) and ‘look’ at the  
state of the other devices. If any or all are OFF, the ISM4 will automatically output IR Commands to turn those  
devices ON for proper system sync.  
The ISM4 Processor constantly scans the Sense Inputs, whether any of the system devices are ON or not. This  
serves multiple purposes. First, when the System Reference Device is ON, it keeps the other system devices ON.  
That doesn’t just mean at the initial power up, but for as long as the reference device is ON. Some devices such  
as DVD players will time out after a certain period of inactivity. If a device were to time out or otherwise turn OFF,  
(as long as the System Reference Device is ON) when the ISM4 Processor scans the Sense Inputs, if any device  
is OFF the ISM4 will output the proper IR Command to turn the device ON and restore proper system sync.  
The opposite is also true. If the System Reference Device is OFF and the ISM4 detects any of the other three  
devices are ON, the ISM4 will output the proper IR Command(s) and turn it/them OFF to restore proper system  
sync.  
In addition to issuing power commands to maintain sync, each device can have a macro of up to five IR  
Commands and Delays associated with the sync mechanism so anytime a device is synced to the system, a  
default mode for each device (and ultimately the system) can be implemented. This allows the reference device to  
be set to a specific input at specific volume and audio mode (depending upon device capability). Sources can be  
set to Play (DVD/CD, Media Servers, etc) or tune to a specific channel (Cable, Satellite, XM, Sirius, AM/FM).  
There is no special remote or keypad required to activate the ISM4. It will automatically respond to the status of  
the System Reference Device to sync the other system devices. However, the ISM4 can be controlled via IR. For  
IR control, the ISM4 responds to Xantech RC68 Commands. Any programmable controller that can learn RC68  
Commands can be used with an ISM4. There is an IR Control Input that can be integrated with most IR repeater  
systems and an IR Receiver Jack that is compatible with any Xantech IR Receiver with a stereo mini plug. (291  
Series or ‘Dash 30’ Type 480-30, 490-30 etc). The IR Inputs will also pass through IR Commands, allowing direct  
control of the system devices, so typically no additional connecting block or other IR system components are  
required.  
The RS232 Protocol allows for a bi-directional interface between the ISM4 and the RS232 Control Device.  
Incoming ASCII Text Commands can be associated with IR Commands for Discrete ON/OFF or Toggle Power of  
the System Reference Device, Query Source Power State and request general System Info. The ISM4 will return  
an ASCII Text Status Message to the control device for use as system status indication or other logic as  
implemented per system design.  
The ISM4 is a stand-alone programmed device and does not require any programming software for setup. A  
simple, logical progression of IR Code Learning is used with each step prompted by the Front Panel LED's.  
Specific LED modes indicate which Source macro is being programmed right down to which step in the macro,  
and how many seconds are in the delay. All programming can be tested right from the ISM4 while learning for  
individual code confirmation or when programming is complete for system function confirmation. ISM4  
Programming can be cloned from one unit to another via the RS232 Port on the Rear Panel.  
Multiple ISM4 Modules can be linked for expansion in systems with more than four devices. All devices will be  
synced to the System Reference Device on the Primary Module.

ISM4 FEATURE DESCRIPTIONS  
Figure 1 – ISM4 Front Panel Features  
ISM4 FRONT PANEL FEATURES  
1. IR Learning Eye. The IR Learning Eye allows teaching IR Commands to the ISM4 for programming Source  
ON and OFF Macros and Command Structures.  
2. Source 1-4 LED’s. These LED’s are primarily used to indicate the sensed state of a corresponding system  
device (Source 1-4). When a sensed device is ON, the LED for that device will illuminate solid green. When  
that device is OFF the LED will be OFF. A Source LED will flash green when the ISM4 is outputting IR for that  
source. These LED’s will also illuminate individually during IR Programming to indicate which device the IR  
Commands being learned are being associated with. Several of the function buttons on the front panel are  
capable of launching different functions based on the current programming state and the duration of the  
button press. The allowed elapsed times are; 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds and 10 seconds. To eliminate  
the burden on the programmer to have to keep track of time, the ISM4 will prompt the programmer when all  
but the 1 second elapsed time intervals have expired. This is true for all buttons that have time  
dependencies. Upon initiation of a press of a button with time dependencies, the unit starts tracking time.  
Upon crossing the 2 second threshold, the unit will quickly flash the current active SOURCE LED. If the  
button remains pressed beyond this point the unit continues to monitor elapsed time. After 5 seconds of  
continuously pressing the button, the current active SOURCE LED will blink once again. Finally after 10  
seconds of a continuous press, the LED will blink a third time. Given that there is not time dependency that  
exceeds 10 seconds the unit starts to blink rapidly to indicate that the max time duration has been exceeded.  
First Blink:  
2 second elapsed time indication.  
5 second elapsed time indication.  
10 second elapsed time indication.  
Maximum Elapsed time exceeded indication  
Second Blink:  
Third Blink:  
4th + (Rapid Blink):  
3. Program LED. This LED will illuminate different colors during the progressive steps of Source Programming  
to indicate which Macro (by Source) is being programmed.  
Normal Mode  
LED Off – Normal use mode. (Power Management)  
Solid Red During IR Generation – Retry Source ON or OFF Macro (up to five times).  
Flash Red – Flash at a rate of 1/3 of a second indicates that the unit is processing a long delay.

IR Receiver and receives IR signals from the receiver. IR signals input on this jack can control the ISM4 and  
pass through to control the individual sources via the Source 1-4 IR Outputs.  
12. IR Control. One 2-circuit (mono) 3.5mm mini jack connects to a normal Emitter Output on an IR repeater  
system or IR Output on a system controller or A/V Receiver. IR signals input on this jack can control the ISM4  
and pass through to control the individual sources via the Source 1-4 IR Outputs.  
13. Power. 2.1mm coaxial jack connects to the included 12VDC 0.5A Power Supply (Xantech Part No  
781ERGPS).  
14. Expansion. One, 2-circuit (mono) 3.5mm mini jack connects to the Source 1 “Sense In” on a secondary ISM4  
for system sync of three additional devices. When the Source 1 “Sense In” on the Primary ISM4 senses an  
ON state (12VDC), this jack outputs 12VDC to the Source 1 “Sense In” on the Secondary ISM4 to indicate the  
system ON state. The Source 2-4 devices on the Secondary ISM4 will then sync to the system as  
programmed (turn ON). When the Source 1 “Sense In” on the Primary ISM4 senses an OFF state (0VDC),  
this jack outputs 0VDC to the Source 1 “Sense In” on the Secondary ISM4 to indicate the system OFF state.  
The Source 2-4 devices on the Secondary ISM4 will then sync to the system as programmed (turn OFF).  
15. RS232. One, 3-circuit (stereo) mini jack connects to the RS232 Output on a system control device such as an  
A/V Receiver, Whole House System Controller, etc. RS232 Commands Input on this port can trigger ISM4 IR  
output for Source 1 Power (discrete ON/OFF, toggle ON/OFF) as well as Query Source Power State and  
System info. This Port is bi-directional and will automatically send ISM4 System Status Info (Provided  
Automatic Source Power State Notifications are enabled. Refer to the RS232 Control and Programming  
section) when any Source state change has occurred or when queried by the RS232 control device.  
16. Sense In. Four, 3-circuit (stereo) 3.5mm mini jacks connect to any of the Xantech SM Series Sensor  
Modules. The ON/OFF state for each of Sources 1-4 will be detected by a Sensor Module appropriate for that  
device, (i.e. SMVID01 Video Sensor for a DVD Player, SMVLT01 Voltage Sensor for a device with a 12V AC  
or DC output such as an A/V Receiver or Whole-House System Controller). Each "Sense In" Jack is  
associated with two IR Macros (ON/OFF) and a Source IR Output.  
Before proceeding with this discussion, it is important to note that the Programming Procedure  
imposes a requirement on the Source 1 (System Reference Device) macros that it does not impose on  
any other macros. The requirement is as follows; on either the ON or the OFF Macros, the ISM4  
assumes that the IR content (if programmed) of the first Command Structure (refer to the COMMAND  
STRUCTURES section for a thorough description of Command Structures) be a Power Command. It  
is left up to the programmer to ensure that this rule is strictly abided by. The problem is as follows; if  
the System Reference device is manually (or by Remote Control) turned on, the resulting transition on  
the System Reference Sense Input would be an Off-to-On transition. As a result, the ON Macro would  
be launched. Given that a Toggle Power command is present in the macro, the Reference device  
would immediately be turned off. Therefore, Toggle commands would not be permissible. The  
programmer would be limited to discrete type of Power IR ONLY. Unfortunately, Discrete IR  
commands are not as common as Toggle commands. To avoid this difficulty, the requirement stated  
above was imposed. For any “Sense In” transition detected by the ISM4 on the Source 1 (System  
Reference Input), the IR Content of the first Command Structure (containing a Power Command) will  
be bypassed. If a Delay is programmed, however, it will be processed. The end result is that  
regardless of whether or not a Toggle or a Discrete Power Command is present, the undesirable  
situation described above would not take place. Hence, the more prevalent Toggle Power commands  
can be utilized without any adverse effects at all. Please note that the IR content of Command  
Structure 1 is only bypassed during execution of a “Sense In” initiated macro on the Source 1  
(System Reference) Input. On every other case, the full macro will be executed. For instance, if the  
trigger is a “Discrete Power On” RS232 (or IR) command, the entire macro would be executed. As a  
result, having executed the first Command Structure, the System Reference Device will be turned on  
as desired.

ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
When Source 1 (System Reference Device) is turned ON, the Sensor Module for that device will show an ON  
state (+12V) to the Source 1 “Sense In”. The first task that the ISM4 will take is to launch the ON Macro for  
Source 1. Based on the discussion above, the entire macro will be executed with the exception of the IR  
content of Command Structure 1. The ISM4 will then ‘look’ at the ON/OFF state of Sources 2-4. If any is  
sensed to be OFF, it will be turned ON utilizing its associated ON Macro. If at any time that Source 1 (System  
Reference Device) is ON, any of the other Sources is sensed to be OFF, the ISM4 will output the ON Macro  
associated with that device to sync it with the system. (System ON Mode)  
When Source 1 (System Reference Device) is turned OFF, the Sensor Module for that device will show an  
OFF state (0V) to the Source 1 “Sense In”. The first task that the ISM4 will take is to launch the OFF Macro  
for Source 1. Based on the discussion above, the entire macro will be executed with the exception of the IR  
content of Command Structure 1. The ISM4 will then ‘look’ at the ON/OFF state of Sources 2-4. If any is  
sensed to be ON, it will be turned OFF utilizing its associated OFF Macro. If at any time that Source 1  
(System Reference Device) is OFF, any of the other Sources is sensed to be ON, the ISM4 will output the  
OFF Macro associated with that device to sync it with the system. (System OFF Mode)

ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
SYSTEM APPLICATIONS  
The ISM4 is a versatile device with endless possible applications. For the purpose of this manual, two basic  
applications will be described. One is a typical Home Theater application with the ISM4 managing system sync for  
an A/V Receiver and three source components. The other is a multi-zone application integrating the ISM4 with a  
multi-zone controller that does not provide intelligent source power management to keep the sources in sync with  
whole-house system status.  
HOME THEATER SYSTEM (Figure 4)  
In this configuration, all system components can either be controlled directly with a programmed system remote or  
exclusively through an IR Receiver connected to the ISM4. In this configuration the A/V Receiver will be turned  
ON/OFF with the remote (or receiver front panel power button). When the receiver turns ON, the switched AC  
Outlet on the rear panel will also turn ON, energizing the connected 12V Power Supply. The SMVLT01 Voltage  
Sensor will detect the change of state, (in this case from OFF to ON) and show a control voltage to the Source 1  
“Sense In” on the ISM4. (ISM4 System Status is always referenced to the device sensed by the Source 1 “Sense  
In”). The first task that the ISM4 will take in response to the Off-to-On transition is to execute the Power ON Macro  
associated with the Source 1 “Sense In” input. Recall that in executing this macro (launched by a Source 1  
“Sense In” trigger) the IR content of the first Command Structure will be bypassed. Refer to the Sense In section  
for further information. The ISM4 will then ‘look’ at the other Source Sense Inputs and if they are OFF (no sensor  
control voltage), the ISM4 will output the Power ON Macros associated with each source to turn them ON. THE  
SYSTEM POWER ON COMMAND IN THE REMOTE SHOULD ONLY CONTROL THE A/V RECEIVER. The  
ISM4 will control the other devices for turn ON and sync. Additionally, each Source Power ON Macro can be  
programmed for up to five IR commands (and associated delays). If the sources are to be set to particular settings  
at turn on, these commands will be issued by the ISM4, and NOT the system remote. If at any time that the  
System Reference Device (A/V Receiver) is ON, any of the other sources turn off, for any reason, the ISM4 will  
sense the variation from system sync (source OFF vs system ON), and the ISM4 will automatically issue the  
Power ON Macro for the device that is out of sync.  
IR commands from the remote can be passed through the ISM4 via the IR Receiver to the emitters, allowing the  
system components to be hidden in a cabinet or closet, as long as the IR Receiver is positioned in ‘line-of-sight’ to  
the system remote. The system components can also be controlled directly from the remote, but no power  
commands should be issued from the remote other than for the A/V Receiver.  
Turning the system OFF is the opposite process. When the A/V Receiver is turned OFF with the system remote  
(or receiver front panel button), the switched AC outlet on the rear panel will turn OFF, de-energizing the 12V  
power supply. The SMVLT01 Voltage Sensor will detect the change of state, (ON to OFF), and cut the control  
voltage to the Source 1 “Sense In”. The first task that the ISM4 will take in response to the On-to-Off transition is  
to execute the Power Off Macro associated with the Source 1 “Sense In” input. Recall that in executing this  
macro (launched by a Source 1 “Sense In” trigger) the IR content of the first Command Structure will be  
bypassed. Refer to the Sense In section for further information. The ISM4 will then ‘look’ at the other Source  
Sense Inputs and if they are ON, (sensor control voltage) the ISM4 will output the Power OFF Macros associated  
with each source to turn them OFF. THE SYSTEM POWER OFF COMMAND IN THE REMOTE SHOULD ONLY  
CONTROL THE A/V RECEIVER. The ISM4 will control the other devices.  
Other Applications  
Using the same basic scheme described above, there are many options as to what device will be the System  
Reference Device. In some cases it will be most intuitive to have a TV, Video Monitor or projector be the System  
Reference Device. (See Figure 5 in this manual and the ISM4 Quick Start Guide for configuration and  
programming instructions) Any time the TV is turned ON, by incorporating a SMVID01 Video Sensor on a TV  
Video Output, the ISM4 will execute ON Macros to turn ON an A/V Receiver, DVD Player, Cable Box and Satellite  
Receiver, for example. Another possibility would be to have a Video Game trigger the system. By making the  
Video Game the System Reference Device, any time the Video Game is turned ON, the ISM4 will activate and  
sync all appropriate devices for extreme gaming. The possibilities are endless. When incorporating an ISM4 into a  
system, ask the question: “What device or appliance do I want to use to trigger other devices or appliances?”

ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
MULTI-ZONE A/V SYSTEM (Figure 6)  
The multi-zone configuration provides automatic power management (system sync) when used with a multi-zone  
system controller that does not feature intelligent source power management. Some multi-zone controllers come  
equipped with proper, reliable system sync management capabilities (Xantech MRC44/88). Some provide  
methods that guess at system status, that is, they will output ON/OFF commands in conjunction with the controller  
status, but do not really know if the source components are ON or OFF, while others provide no method of power  
management at all. ISM4 is the perfect complement to these last two types of controllers.  
In this configuration, system commands are initiated in the remote zones via keypads and/or IR Receivers.  
Typically, when the first zone on a multi-zone controller is activated, the controller will turn ON and in most cases,  
also turn on a Common 12V Control Output. With this Control Out connected to a SMVLT01 Voltage Sensor, the  
SMVLT01 Voltage Sensor will detect the change of state, (in this case from OFF to ON) and show a control  
voltage to the Source 1 “Sense In” on the ISM4. (ISM4 System Status is always referenced to the device sensed  
by the Source 1 “Sense In”.) The ISM4 will then ‘look’ at the other Source Sense Inputs and if they are OFF (no  
sensor control voltage), the ISM4 will output the Power ON Macros associated with each source to turn them ON.  
KEYPADS AND ZONE REMOTES SHOULD BE PROGRAMMED ONLY TO TURN THE LOCAL ZONE ON AND  
SHOULD NOT INCLUDE SOURCE POWER COMMANDS IN “ON MACROS”. The ISM4 will control the other  
devices for turn ON. Additionally, each Source Power ON Macro can be programmed for up to five IR commands  
(and associated delays) so if the sources are to be set to particular settings at turn on these commands will be  
issued by the ISM4, NOT the multi-zone controller. If at any time that the System Reference Device (multi-zone  
controller) is ON, any of the other sources turn off, for any reason, the ISM4 will sense the variation from system  
sync (source OFF vs system ON), and the ISM4 will automatically issue the Power ON Macro for the device out of  
sync.  
In a typical multi-zone system, the connected keypads and/or IR Receivers will issue zone/system commands  
directly to the system controller (Zone ON/OFF, Volume, Source Select, etc). (The ISM4 does not play any part in  
controlling the multi-zone controller, only the source components.) Some multi-zone systems issue IR commands  
for source control from the keypads or pass through IR commands from IR Receivers and zone remotes, while  
others generate IR commands initiated by keypad button presses or ‘IR trigger commands’. In any case, the IR  
commands that are output from the controller must be routed from the Common IR Output on the multi-zone  
controller and then to the IR Control In on the ISM4. The source IR commands will then pass through the ISM4 to  
the Source IR Outs. This means the IR emitters for the sources will be connected to the ISM4, NOT the multi-  
zone controller. This allows use of one IR emitter per source rather than having one from the multi-zone controller  
and one from the ISM4. System operation will be normal and the IR routing will be ‘invisible’ to the user. (This  
makes the ISM4 a perfect ad-on for exiting systems with sync issues.) One important note: The ISM4 IR pass-  
through is not routed so systems with multiple same brand/same model devices will not have selective control for  
tuning SAT 1 or SAT 2 unless multiple IR code groups are available.  
Turning the system OFF is the opposite process. Typically, when the last zone on the multi-zone controller is  
turned OFF the Common 12V Control Out will also turn OFF. The SMVLT01 Voltage Sensor will detect the  
change of state, (ON to OFF), and cut the control voltage to the Source 1 “Sense In”. The ISM4 will then ‘look’ at  
the other Source Sense Inputs and if they are ON, (sensor control voltage) the ISM4 will output the Power OFF  
Macros associated with each source to turn them OFF. KEYPADS AND ZONE REMOTES SHOULD BE  
PROGRAMMED ONLY TO TURN THE LOCAL ZONE OFF AND SHOULD NOT INCLUDE SOURCE POWER  
COMMANDS IN OFF MACROS. The ISM4 will control the other devices.

ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
INSTALLATION  
The ISM4 should be installed in the same general location as the system A/V components (A/V Receiver, Multi-  
Zone Controller, DVD, SAT, etc). Xantech SM Series Sensor Cables are approximately 6 feet in length and  
Xantech IR Emitter wires are approximately 10 feet in length, so plan the ISM4 location relative to the other  
equipment accordingly. The ISM4 does not generate any critical amount of heat and does not need any special  
consideration in terms of ventilation but proper precautions should always be taken to assure the free flow of air  
through and around system components to avoid damage. The ISM4 can be placed on a shelf in an equipment  
rack or closet or placed directly on top of a system device. It is suggested however, that the ISM4 not be placed  
directly on top of a device that generates high levels of heat to protect the ISM4 circuitry and longevity.  
CONNECTIONS  
ISM4 connections are fairly simple. The most important factor is keeping the wiring consistent by source. That  
means be sure the device connected to the Source 1 “Sense In” is the same device attached to the Source 1 IR  
Emitter. Labeling the Sensor and Emitter Wires as Source 1, 2, 3, 4 or by specific brand/device (Denon Receiver,  
Toshiba DVD, etc) will help in avoiding connection errors and assist in troubleshooting, if necessary. There are  
many possible connection schemes for ISM4 controlled systems. For the purpose of the following discussions, the  
systems in Figures 4 and 6 will be used. Also note that Xantech manufactures a full line of Sensor Modules  
including: Audio (SMAUD01), Video (SMVID01), Magnetic/Current (SMMAG01), LED/Light (SMLIT01), Contact  
Closure (SMCC01) and Voltage (SMVLT01) for additional application flexibility of the ISM4.  
HOME THEATER SYSTEM (Figure 4)  
ISM4  
1. Plug the included 12VDC Power Supply 2.1mm coaxial plug into the Power Jack on the ISM4 Rear Panel.  
2. Plug the Power Supply into an unswitched AC Outlet.  
Source 1 (A/V Receiver)  
1. Cut the plug off the end of an unregulated 12VDC Power Supply. (An unregulated power supply’s decay  
time, 12V to 0V, is faster than a regulated supply, netting faster system response.) Strip approximately 1/4” off  
the jacket and twist the strands so that there are no loose ends that can cause shorts.  
2. Connect the stripped ends to the appropriate terminals on the SMVLT01 Sensor. Maintain proper polarity,  
typically white stripe (+12V) to the ‘+’ terminal, black wire (GND) to the ‘-‘ terminal.  
3. Plug the power supply into a switched AC outlet on the A/V Receiver.  
4. Plug the SMVLT01 3.5mm mini plug into the ISM4 Source 1 “Sense In” Jack.  
5. Turn the A/V Receiver ON. The SMVLT01 Status LED should illuminate red. (The Source 1 Status LED on  
the ISM4 Front Panel should also illuminate solid green. For now, disregard any other front panel LED  
activity.)  
6. Turn the A/V Receiver OFF. The SMVLT01 Status LED should turn off. If it does not turn off, adjust the  
sensitivity to the point where the Status LED turns off. (The Source 1 Status LED on the ISM4 Front Panel  
should also turn off. For now, disregard any other front panel LED activity.)  
7. Remove the protective backing from an IR Emitter head. Carefully attach the emitter over the IR eye of the  
A/V Receiver. If the eye is not obvious, shine a small flashlight into the faceplate to locate it or refer to the  
product manual.  
8. Carefully pull the emitter wire to the back of the A/V Receiver and over to where the ISM4 is located. Be  
careful not to pinch the wire between components.  
9. Plug the Emitter 3.5mm mini plug into the ISM4 Source 1 “IR Out “Jack.  
10. Label the sensor and emitter wires for reference.  
Source 2 (DVD Player)  
1. Using a shielded male to male RCA-RCA video cable (Composite Video Cable) with gold ends, connect the  
Composite Video Output of the DVD Player to the SMVID01 RCA sensor head.

ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
2. Either plug the sensor head directly into the A/V Receiver DVD Composite Video Input or connect a  
shielded female to male RCA-RCA cable with gold ends to the sensor head and then to the AV Receiver  
DVD Composite Video Input.  
3. Plug the SMVID01 3.5mm mini plug into the ISM4 Source 2 “Sense In” Jack.  
4. Turn the DVD Player ON. The SMVID01 Status LED should illuminate red. (The Source 2 Status LED on the  
ISM4 Front Panel should also illuminate green. For now, disregard any other front panel LED activity.)  
5. Turn the DVD Player OFF. The SMVID01 Status LED should turn off. If it does not turn off, adjust the  
sensitivity to the point where the Status LED turns off. (The Source 2 Status LED on the ISM4 Front Panel  
should also turn off. For now, disregard any other front panel LED activity.)  
NOTE: Some devices have a constant signal output on the composite video output jack (many cable boxes  
and other devices) and will not be compatible with video sensing. If adjusting the sensitivity on the SMVID01  
with the DVD player (or other device) does not turn the Status LED OFF, another sensing method must be  
used, such as a switched outlet on a cable box as shown in Figure 4.  
6. Remove the protective backing from an IR Emitter head. Carefully attach the emitter over the IR eye of the  
DVD Player. If the eye is not obvious, shine a small flashlight into the faceplate to locate it or refer to the  
product manual.  
7. Carefully pull the emitter wire to the back of the DVD Player and over to where the ISM4 is located. Be  
careful not to pinch the wire between components or block the disc drawer.

OTHER CONNECTIONS  
RS232  
This Port connects to the RS232 Output on a system control device such as an A/V Receiver, Multi-Zone  
Controller, Touch Panel, etc. RS232 Commands input on this port can trigger ISM4 IR output for Source 1 Power  
(discrete ON/OFF, toggle ON/OFF), Query Source Power State (all sources) and System Info. This Port is bi-  
directional and will automatically send ISM4 System Status Info when any Source state change has occurred  
(provided that the Automatic Source Power State Notification feature is enabled) or when queried by the RS232  
control device. See Section: RS232 for additional information.  
Figure 7 ISM4 RS232 Pinout  
1. Using a stereo 3.5mm mini plug, connect the ISM4 RS232 Port to an appropriate RS232 Port on the  
system control device to be used for RS232 control. Adapt the stereo mini-plug cable to the control device  
port as appropriate (DB-9, RJ45, etc.) Xantech manufactures a Male DB9 to 3.5mm Mini Plug Cable (Xantech  
Part No 05913780) configured as shown in Figure 7. Please refer to the control device documentation for the  
pinout of that device’s RS232 Port.  
EXPANSION  
This jack connects to the Source 1 “Sense In” on an Expansion ISM4 for system sync of three additional  
devices. When the Source 1 “Sense In” on the Primary ISM4 senses an ON state (Sensor Control Voltage), this  
jack outputs 12VDC to the Source 1 “Sense In” on the Expansion ISM4 to indicate the System ON state. The  
Source 2-4 devices on the Expansion ISM4 will then sync to the system as programmed (turn ON). When the  
Source 1 “Sense In” on the Primary ISM4 senses an OFF state (No Sensor Control Voltage), this jack outputs  
0VDC to the Source 1 “Sense In” on the Expansion ISM4 to indicate the System OFF state. The Source 2-4  
devices on the Secondary ISM4 will then sync to the system as programmed (turn OFF). Additional ISM4s can  
be added as needed increasing the number of ‘managed’ devices by three for each additional ISM4.  
NOTE: For Expansion, each ISM4 must be programmed individually for the specific devices connected to each  
ISM4. See Section: Programming/Expansion for additional Information.

ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
PROGRAMMING  
Programming the ISM4 is similar to manually programming a learning remote. All IR commands are programmed  
(learned) directly to the ISM4 using the original equipment remotes. There is no PC or programming software  
requirement. If the ISM4 is going to be set up to automatically ‘manage’ system devices (Sources 2-4) based  
solely upon the status (ON/OFF) of the System Reference Device (Source 1 - A/V Receiver, Multi-Zone  
Controller, etc), with the original remotes in-hand, the first step is to plan the Source Macros.  
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. The ‘discrete’ option allows programming discrete System ON/OFF  
‘Trigger’ Commands to a system remote or control device when the System Reference Device does not have  
discrete ON/OFF Commands. This will provide separate System ON/OFF buttons and help the user avoid  
inadvertently turning the system ON/OFF. The ‘toggle’ option allows utilizing a single button for system ON/OFF  
from a system remote or control device. If utilizing this feature, a Xantech RC68X will also be required. (Older  
models: RC68 and RC68+ are also compatible.) See Section: Programming RC68 ON/OFF Trigger Commands  
for additional information.  
SOURCE ON/OFF MACROS  
The ISM4 allows programming one ON and one OFF Macro per Source. Each of these Macros can contain up to  
five sets of IR Commands and Delays called Command Structures. Different Front Panel LED prompts indicate  
which Macro (ON/OFF) for which Source (1-4) and which step or ‘Command Structure’ (1-5) is being  
programmed.  
COMMAND STRUCTURES  
A Command Structure is the combination of an IR command and an associated Delay within a given Source ON  
or OFF Macro. Each ON or OFF Macro can contain up to five Command Structures. A Command Structure has  
an associated Delay even if the delay value is 0 seconds. All five Command Structures do not need to be  
programmed within an ON or OFF Macro. If only the ON or OFF command is to be issued with no further setup  
(input, play, etc) to the controlled device(s) then only the ON or OFF Command need be programmed.

ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
With the ISM4 powered up and with the IR Emitters attached to the devices to be controlled, program the ISM4 as  
follows:  
NOTE: Unless instructed to press a button for a specific duration a button press should be at most one full  
second.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: If programming the ISM4 so the System Reference Device (Source 1) will be turned  
ON and OFF with its native remote or other system controller, the programmer must ensure that the Power  
command (if present) be placed in Command Structure number 1. This applies to both the ON and OFF macros.  
This requirement is imposed on Source 1 ONLY. Refer to the “Sense In” section for further details.  
If there are other ‘setup’ commands to be executed as part of the Source 1 ON Macro, (Input, Surround Mode,  
Tuner Preset, etc), simply program a delay long enough to allow Source 1 to power up and respond to additional  
IR commands. (Step 13 below). Recall that the Delay will be executed regardless of whether or not a Power  
Command is present in Command Structure 1.  
If any of Sources 2-4 will have ‘setup’ commands included in their ON Macros, be sure to program a delay in the  
Source ON Macro, Command Structure 1 that is long enough to allow those Sources to power up and be ready to  
respond to additional IR commands.  
The following sections mention the ISM4’s time dependent push button function blink patterns. For a detailed  
discussion refer to section “Source 1-4 LED’s”. These blink patterns were added to transfer the time keeping  
burden away from the programmer and onto the ISM4.  
Learn IR  
1. Press the Sequence Button for 2 seconds (Indicated by the first blink of the Active Source LED) to enter Edit  
Mode. The ISM4 will default to the Source 1 ON Macro. (Source 1 and Program LED’s sold green.)  
2. Press the Sequence Button to enter IR Learn Mode for Source 1 ON Macro Command Structure 1. The  
Source 1 LED will flash for about 5 seconds. This is the amount of time allowed to teach an IR Command.  
3. Position the IR Remote for the System Reference Device (Source 1) directly in front of the IR Learn Window  
on the ISM4 (within an inch) and press and hold the ON or Power Button on the remote until the Program  
LED flashes green three times. If the Program LED flashes red three times, proceed to Step 9.  
4. Press the Test Button and confirm the function of the learned command on Source 1.  
5. If Source 1 responded properly to the learned command, press Sequence again to save the command. The  
Program LED will flash once. The ISM4 will automatically return to EDIT Mode upon save. To return to Edit  
Mode without saving, press the PREV Button. Proceed to Step 11 or 13, as appropriate.  
6. If Source 1 did not respond properly to the learned command, press Delete. The ISM4 will automatically go  
into IR Learn Mode for the current Command Structure. (Source 1 ON Macro; Command Structure 1)  
7. Repeat Steps 3-6 as necessary until the command is learned, tested, confirmed and saved.  
8. To add a Delay to Command Structure 1, proceed to Step 13.  
IR Learn Error  
9. If the Program LED flashed red three times during IR Learn, that indicates a learn error. Press Delete to  
remove the bad command from memory.  
10. Repeat Steps 2-6 as necessary until the command is learned, tested, confirmed and saved.  
No Delay – with additional Command Structures in the Macro  
11. If there is no delay required for Command Structure 1, and there is at least one more Command Structure  
in the Macro, press "Next" for one second. The Source 1 LED will flash twice indicating the ISM4 is ready to  
Learn the IR Command for Command Structure 2. If the ISM4 is pointing to Command Structure 3, the  
Source 1 Led will blink 3 times. It will blink 4 times if pointing to Command Structure number 4 and 5 times if  
pointing to Command Structure number 5.  
12. Repeat Steps 2-9 as necessary until the IR Command for Command Structure 2 is learned, tested,  
confirmed and saved.

ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
Delay – with additional Command Structures in the Macro  
13. To add a delay after the IR Command in Command Structure 1, after Step 5, press the Delay Button. The  
ISM4 will respond by entering DELAY Learn Mode and the Program LED will flash once.  
14. Press the Next Button once for each second of Delay to be added to the Command Structure. Press the  
Prev Button once for each second of Delay to be subtracted.  
NOTE: The first press of the Next Button will add one second of delay. Each additional press will add one  
second up to 60 seconds after which the timer will reset to 0 seconds. The first press of the Prev Button will  
add 60 seconds of delay. Each additional press will subtract one second down to 0 seconds after which the  
timer will reset to 60 seconds.  
No Delay – no additional Command Structures in the Macro  
15. If there are no additional Command Structures in the Source 1 ON Macro, press "Next" for 2 seconds  
(Indicated by the first blink of the Active Source LED). The ISM4 will shift to the Source 1 OFF Macro,  
Command Structure 1. (Source LED solid green, Program LED solid red.)  
NOTE: A 2 second press of the Prev Button (Indicated by the first blink of the Active Source LED) will shift  
programming to the previous Macro. (i.e. a 2 second press of the Prev Button while in Source 1 ON Edit  
Mode, will shift Edit Mode to the Source 4 OFF Macro. (Source 4 LED solid green, Program LED orange.)  
Test Macro  
16. When all Command Structures within a Source ON or OFF Macro have been programmed, tested and  
saved, the complete Macro can be tested by pressing the Test Button.  
NOTE 1: If the IR Commands and Delays within the Command Structures were not properly saved, the Macro  
cannot be tested and the Program LED will flash red to indicate error.  
NOTE 2: To Test a Macro starting from Normal Operation Mode, Press Sequence for 2 seconds (Indicated by  
the first blink of the Active Source LED) to enter Edit Mode, (Source 1 and Program LED’s green), Navigate to  
the Macro to be tested (2 second press of Prev or Next) and then press the Test Button.  
Program Remaining Macros  
17. Navigate to the next Source ON or OFF Macro to be programmed. From the Source 1 ON Macro, press the  
Next Button for 2 seconds (Indicated by the first blink of the Active Source LED). The ISM4 will shift to the  
Source 1 OFF Macro; Command Structure 1. (Source LED solid green, Program LED solid orange.)  
NOTE: A 2 second press of the Prev Button (Indicated by the first blink of the Active Source LED) will shift  
programming to the previous Macro. (i.e. a 2 second press of the Prev Button while in Source 1 ON Edit  
Mode, will shift Edit Mode to the Source 4 OFF Macro. (Source 4 LED solid green, Program LED red.)  
18. Repeat Steps 2-17 above until all Source ON and OFF Macros have been programmed, tested and saved. It  
is vitally important to program both the Source ON and OFF Macros. The ISM4 will not function properly if  
both sets of Macros have not been programmed.  
Exit Edit Mode  
19. To exit Edit Mode, at any time during Edit Mode, press the Prev Button for 10 seconds (Indicated by the  
third blink of the Active Source LED). The ISM4 will return to Normal Operating Mode.  
Test ISM4 (All Macros)  
NOTE: All system devices and components must be properly setup and connected to test ISM4 Macro  
Programming. Be sure all Sensors are connected to the appropriate device and Source Sense Inputs on the  
ISM4, and be sure all IR Emitters are connected to the appropriate Source “IR Out “on the ISM4 and attached to  
the correct device over the IR eye for that device.  
20. With all Sources OFF, turn the System Reference Device (Source 1) ON. All Sources should turn ON and  
any additional setup programming (source select, play, etc) should execute as programmed. If any functions  
were ‘missed’, test the individual ON Macro for that Source. Re-learn IR Commands and adjust delays as  
necessary until the system powers up correctly.  
21. Repeat Step 20 for System OFF. (Turn the System Reference Device, Source 1, OFF).

ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
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

ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
RS232 CONTROL AND PROGRAMMING  
The ISM4 can be controlled via RS232 to allow power management of the devices controlled by the ISM4 from a  
PC or appropriately capable system controller. It is important to note that the RS232 capability only allows for  
Discrete ON/OFF, Toggle ON/OFF as well as Status and System Information. The RS232 Discrete ON/OFF  
and Toggle Commands allow turning the System Reference Device (Source 1) ON/OFF. IT DOES NOT  
ALLOW RS232 CONTROL OF ANY OTHER SOURCES OR FUNCTIONS.  
The Status feature provides queried or automatic feedback of Source ON/OFF Status. Queried feedback will  
provide ON/OFF Status of Sources 1-4 in the form of ASCII Text Strings when asked by a control device.  
Automatic Source Power State Notifications are provided as ASCII Text Strings anytime there is a change in  
Source ON/OFF Status. This feature (Auto) can be turned on or off as appropriate for a given application. By  
default, this feature is disabled.  
ISM4 System Information can also be queried for product information such as Device, Hardware and Firmware  
Rev, should it be relevant in troubleshooting. Xantech Technical Support personnel may request this information  
in a problematic application.  
To respond to RS232 Commands, the ISM4 must be properly connected via the RS232 jack on the Rear Panel as  
described in Section: Other Connections/RS232.

The Source Power Notification Data String contains Power Status information for all four Sources. The  
Notification Data Structure is preceded by the ‘#’ character prefix and terminated with the ‘+’ character. The  
Notification Data String is parsed into four fields. Each field holds one Source Component State Data  
Structure (one per Source Component). Each Source Component Data Structure holds information that  
identifies the particular source component and its power state, as indicated by the definition of {0/1}, a ‘0’  
indicates the OFF condition. A ‘1’ indicates an ON condition.  
Example  
#SS{S#} PR{0/1}  
SS{S#} PR{0/1}  
SS{S#} PR{0/1}  
SS{S#} PR{0/1}+  
The SS{S#} field indicates which Source is being reported. All data that follows will pertain to that Source. The  
end of the current field will be flagged by the presence of another SS{S#} field (next Source) or the ‘+’ termination  
character (end of report).  
The PR{0/1} field indicates the Power State of the reported Source. That is, it indicates the Power State of the  
Source identified by the SS{S#} field that immediately precedes it.  
The string below is an example of a string that might be sent out by the ISM4:  
#SS1 PR1 SS2 PR1 SS3 PR0 SS4 PR0+  
This string indicates the following:  
Source 1 Power State = ON  
Source 2 Power State = ON  
Source 3 Power State = OFF  
Source 4 Power State = OFF  
The System Info Query can be useful in determining the build of a particular ISM4. On occasion, Xantech  
Technical Personnel may ask for this information should a problematic situation occur.

CLONING THE ISM4  
When necessary, the Macro Table (All Source ON and OFF Macros and their contents) can be cloned from a  
programmed ISM4 to another ISM4. The cloning process requires a Xantech Null Stereo 3.5mm Mini Cable,  
(Xantech Part No 06028145). DO NOT USE A STANDARD STEREO MINI CABLE FOR CLONING. To clone an  
ISM4:  
1. Using a Xantech Null Stereo 3.5mm Mini Cable, (Xantech Part No 06028145), connect the RS232 Port on  
the programmed ISM4 to the RS232 Port on the unprogrammed ISM4.  
2. In Normal Operating Mode, press the Prev Button on the Primary (programmed) ISM4 unit for longer than 2  
seconds. The Source LED’s will flash fast for a few seconds and stop. Cloning is complete.  
3. Install and use as programmed.

ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL  
OPERATING THE ISM4  
Once setup, there is typically no direct interaction with the ISM4. It will automatically respond to system  
conditions, IR and RS232 Commands.  
System ON Mode  
When the System Reference Device (Source 1) is turned ON, via a power button on the device, an IR remote  
control, a RS232 Command etc, the ISM4 will detect the change of state (OFF to ON) and automatically enter  
System ON Mode. In this mode, the first task that the ISM4 will take in response to the Off-to-On transition is to  
execute the Power ON Macro associated with the Source 1 “Sense In” input. Recall that in executing this macro  
(launched by a Source 1 “Sense In” trigger ONLY) the IR content of the first Command Structure will be  
bypassed. Refer to the Sense In section for further information. Next, the ISM4 will ‘look’ at the Source 2-4  
Sense Inputs, and if any one shows an OFF condition, the ISM4 will output the ON Macro associated with that  
Source.  
The Source LED’s will flash, by Source, when the ON Macros are being sent. The Front Panel Source 1-4  
LED’s will illuminate solid green to indicate a sensed ON condition for each Source. If for some reason a  
particular Source does not respond to an ON Macro, the ISM4 will resend that macro. The ISM4 will resend an  
ON Macro up to four times. During the resends, the ISM4 Program LED will flash red indicating that an error has  
occurred in executing an ON Macro and that the Source for which the macro is being resent is out of sync with  
the system.  
The ISM4 will continually scan the Sense Inputs. As long as Source 1 is ON (System ON Mode), if any of  
Sources 2-4 turns OFF, for any reason, the ISM4 will automatically output the ON Macro for that Source,  
keeping all Sources synced to the System ON Mode.  
System OFF Mode  
When the System Reference Device (Source 1) is turned OFF, via a power button on the device, an IR remote  
control, a RS232 Command etc, the ISM4 will detect the change of state (ON to OFF) and automatically enter  
System OFF Mode. In this mode, the first task that the ISM4 will take in response to the On-to-Off transition is to  
execute the Power OFF Macro associated with the Source 1 “Sense In” input. Recall that in executing this macro  
(launched by a Source 1 “Sense In” trigger ONLY) the IR content of the first Command Structure will be  
bypassed. Refer to the Sense In section for further information. Next, the ISM4 will ‘look’ at the Source 2-4  
Sense Inputs, and if any show an ON condition, the ISM4 will output the OFF Macro associated with that  
Source.  
The Source LED’s will flash, by Source, when the OFF Macros are being sent. The Front Panel Source 1-4  
LED’s will turn off to indicate a sensed OFF condition for each Source. If for some reason a particular Source  
does not respond to an OFF Macro, the ISM4 will resend that macro. The ISM4 will resend an OFF Macro up to  
five times. During the resends, the ISM4 Program LED will flash red indicating that an error has occurred in  
executing an OFF Macro and that the Source for which the macro is being resent is out of sync with the system.  
The ISM4 will continually scan the Sense Inputs. As long as Source 1 is OFF (System OFF Mode), if any of  
Sources 2-4 turns ON, for any reason, the ISM4 will automatically output the OFF Macro for that Source,  
keeping all Sources synced to the System OFF Mode.  
RC68 Triggered Commands  
Externally, the ISM4 will behave in exactly the same manner as described in the Sections: System ON Mode and  
System OFF Mode, when triggered by RC68 Trigger Commands. Internally if the ISM4 ‘sees’ the RC68 Source  
1 ON Command it will look at the state of Source 1. If it is OFF the ISM4 will enter System ON Mode as  
described. Conversely, if the ISM4 ‘sees’ the RC68 Source 1 OFF Command it will look at the state of Source 1.  
If it is ON the ISM4 will enter System OFF Mode as described. If the ISM4 ‘sees’ the RC68 Toggle Power  
Command, it will look at Source 1 determine the state (ON or OFF) and output the opposite state macro.  
Please Note that unlike the case of a “Sense In” trigger on Source 1, the IR content of Command Structure  
number 1 on either the ON and OFF macro will be executed.

NAVIGATING AND EDITING MACROS  
The six Front Panel Buttons each have multiple functions, depending upon the ISM4 Mode. The following  
sections detail those functions within the different modes. An understanding of the button presses will help make  
the programming process easier. For the actual programming instructions, see Section: Programming Macros.  
Normal Operating Mode  
In Normal Operating Mode the Front Panel Buttons are typically not used. They are used in this mode to clone a  
new ISM4 and to enter Edit Mode.

PREV  
In Normal Operating Mode, press for 2 seconds (Indicated by the first blink of the Active Source  
LED) to initiate the Macro Table Clone Process. This will transfer the programming from one ISM4  
to another. Macro Table Clone requires that both units are properly connected via their RS232  
Ports. All Source LED’s will rapid flash green during the Macro Table Clone Process.  
SEQUENCE In Normal Operating Mode, press for 2 seconds (Indicated by the first blink of the Active Source  
LED) to put the ISM4 into Edit Mode. By default, the Source 1 and Program LED’s will illuminate  
green to indicate Edit Mode.  
In Normal Operating Mode the other Front Panel Buttons have no functions.  
In Normal Operating Mode, a Source LED will illuminate solid green when the associated Sense Input ‘sees’ a  
Sensor Control Voltage from a connected Sensor Module when the sensed source is ON and turn off when the  
Sensor Control Voltage is cut when that same source is OFF.
