ISM4 INSTALLATION & PROGRAMMING MANUAL
14
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.
8. Plug the Emitter 3.5mm mini plug into the ISM4 Source 2 “IR Out “Jack.
9. Label the sensor and emitter wires for reference.
Source 3 (Cable Box)
Follow the instructions for Source 1 (A/V Receiver), for voltage sensing. The switched outlet on most cable
boxes must be configured in the Cable Box Setup Menu. Be sure the AC Convenience Outlet is set to:
Switched.
Source 4 (Video Recorder)
Follow the instructions for Source 2 (DVD Player), for video sensing.
IR Receiver
1. Plug a Xantech 291 Series or ‘Dash 30’ Type IR Receiver (IR Receivers with an attached stereo 3.5mm mini
plug cable), into the IR Receiver Jack on the ISM4 Rear Panel. Position the IR Receiver as appropriate for
‘line-of-sight’ to the where the system remote will typically be used. This will allow IR control of the ISM4 and
pass through of IR commands from the system remote to the source devices.
MULTI-ZONE SYSTEM (Figure 6)
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 (Multi-Zone Controller)
1. Using a Xantech 5-Foot Mini Plug Cable, (3.5mm mini plug to two stripped/tinned leads, Xantech Part No
06015900), plug the mini plug end into the Common 12V Control Out on the multi-zone controller.
2. Connect the stripped/tinned 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. (See
manufacturer’s product manual to verify the pin-out of the Common 12V Out Jack.)
3. Plug the SMVLT01 3.5mm mini plug into the ISM4 Source 1 “Sense In” Jack.
4. Turn a Zone on the multi-zone controller 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.)
5. Turn the multi-zone controller 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.)
