TheRCI-7MisaWireless battery-powered switching interface which takes up to 7 momentaryinputs from third-party switches and is programmed to transmit Rako Wireless commands. Designed to fit in a standard UK backbox, the RCI-7M is 48x48x9mm. 2Inputs TheRCI-7Mhasupto7momentaryinputs,the example shows a single input, when the switch position is changed between A and Com, a Rako commandcanbeprogrammedtobetransmitted by the RCI-7M.

3Installation Instructions TheRCI-7Mmoduleisdesignedtofitinabackboxlocallytotheconnectedswitchinputs. Excessive cable lengths can pick up noise which can cause intermittent operation or spurious triggering. The recommended maximum cable length is 300mm. NB This product can only be programmed with RASOFT Pro software with a Rako HUB or RAMPI. 3.1 Battery TheRCI-7Mrequires a single CR2032 battery for power. Lithium batteries may explode if handled incorrectly. Always dispose of used batteries under the manufacturer’s recommendations. 3.2 Enclosures TheRCI-7MisdesignedtofitintoaUKbackbox.AstheunittransmitsaWireless message to remote receivers, the aerial must not be surrounded by metalwork, which could be the case with a metal backbox and metal cover plate combination. This will restrict the transmitting range considerably. It is highly recommended to feed the aerial out of any backbox giving it a better transmission range. 4Addressing the RCI-7M (HUB) Thefollowing steps assume a Project File has been created, if that has not yet been done, see the Wireless Module Programming Guide. TheHUBhasbuilt-in NFC programming functionality. If the HUB has not yet been set up, see A1.2 HUB. - To begin the setup process, ensure you are connected to the HUB in the "Communication Devices" in Rasoft Pro, and that the HUB has been configured. - Place the RCI-7M on the top, middle section of the HUB.

- WhentheRCI-7Miscorrectly positioned, a green LED will show on the HUB, and a windowwill pop-up in Rasoft Pro. - Give the RCI-7M a suitable name so that it is identifiable in the software. - Select the local Room for the RCI-7M. NB It is important to set the Room at this stage. If “Assign later” is selected, then the NFC Device will not be programmed and will be added as a virtual Device - Select Finish on the next page to complete the setup. The HUB will need to upload to the NFC Device at this stage. RCI-7M Manual Version 2.0.0

5Addressing the RCI-7M (RAMPI) Unlike the RCM, the RCI-7M must be programmed using Rasoft Pro software, a RAMPI or a HUBisrequired to do this. First, ensure that the RAMPI is connected to Rasoft Pro in the communication window (see A1.1 RAMPI). - To begin the setup process, place the RAMPI on the NFC Device and ensure no metallic cover plates are fixed to the Device. - WhentheDeviceiscorrectly positioned, a green LED will flash in the RAMPI, and a windowwill pop up in Rasoft Pro. - Give the Device a suitable name so that it is identifiable in the software. - Select the local Room for the Device. NB It is important to set the Room at this stage. If “Assign later” is selected, then the NFC Device will not be programmed and will be added as a virtual Device - Select Finish on the next page to complete the setup. The RAMPI will need to upload to the NFC Device at this stage. - Oncetheuploadiscomplete, the RCI-7M can be configured. RCI-7M Manual Version 2.0.0

6ConfiguringtheRCI-7M TheRCI-7Misaninterface for momentary switches, there are 7 inputs which can be mappedtoTriggeracommand"onpress"and"onrelease". Theinput mapping screen for the RCI-7M can be accessed by selecting it in the "Device List"; this will open the "Device Editor" for the RCI-7M. 6.1 The Mapping Section All programmed inputs for the Device must first have a mapping. The purpose of a mappingis to program an input to perform a specific command. Each input has its own letter to represent its input; the RCI-7M has up to 7 inputs. RCI-7M Manual Version 2.0.0

Active mappings can be copied or pasted into disabled mappings; this is typically used whenre-using similar functions of an existing mapping to save time such as a toggle function. Mappingright-click options 6.2 Inputs Theinputs for the mappings are selected in the Inputs section, as well as additional input options: Function Description SendStopOnRelease Whentheswitchis released, a "Stop" command will be triggered. Trigger on press Trigger the output command when the switch is pressed. Trigger on release Trigger the output command when the switch is released. RCI-7M Manual Version 2.0.0

Toggle TheTogglefunction will alternate between two commands, either a Level command andOff, or a Scene command and Off. NB DonotmapmorethanoneToggletoa single button on the inputs; this will result in sporadic switching due to toggles getting out of sync. RCI-7M Manual Version 2.0.0

Level Sets the lighting Level to a percentage of brightness between 0-100%. Tunable White Set the temperature output. Macro Trigger an internal Macro on the Device; this is not the same as triggering a Macro onaHUB. NB Macros can be created on the "Macro" tab above the button configuration.
