One in/eight out switcher, single routing, group on, group off, responds to RC68 hand held programmer codes, capable of being set to 30 different code groups, 4-terminal plug-in connector (“IR RCVR INPUT”) permits connection of all Xantech IR products, a green LED adjacent to the “IR RCVR INPUT” serves as an input signal test-IR, 8 IR “O” and “G” indicator outputs are current limited to 25 mA (allowing the direct connection of an LED without the need for a current limiting resistor), the DATA IN and DATA OUT modulator jack ports allow future cascading of RT8s, requires one 782-00 power supply for each RT8, operates on 3 or 4 conductor shielded or unshielded 18 to 22 gauge wire.
