TheRNCisawirelessbattery-poweredkeypadfortransmitting Rako commands to wireless receivers such as the RMT-500 or RDA-800. Available in a wide range of button configurations to control lights, blinds, and audio, the RNC provides a versatile solution to suit the needs of all room sizes. TheRNCisprogrammedusingRasoftProsoftwareinconjunctionwithaRAMPIor HUBviaNFC. Cancontrolmultiple Rooms and Channels. 2ProgrammingtheRNC 2.1 Addressing RNC (HUB) Unlike the RCM, the RNC must be programmed using Rasoft Pro software, a RAMPI or a HUBisrequired to do this. Similar to the RAMPI, the HUB has built-in NFC programming functionality, which enables programming RNCs. If the HUB has not yet been set up, see A1.2 HUB. RNC Manual Version 2.0.0

- 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 RNC on the top, middle section of the HUB. - WhentheDeviceiscorrectly positioned, a green LED will show on the HUB, 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. After the initial setup, the RNC will behave like an RCMwithdipswitches set to this Room. NB It is important to set the Room at this stage. If “Assign later” is selected, then the RNC will not be programmed and will be added as a virtual Device RNC Manual Version 2.0.0

- Select Finish on the next page to complete the setup. The HUB will need to upload to the RNC at this stage. 2.2 Addressing NFC Keypads (RAMPI) Unlike the RCM, the RNC 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 RNC 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. After the initial setup, the RNC will behave like an RCMwithdipswitches set to this Room. NB It is important to set the Room at this stage. If “Assign later” is selected, then the RNC 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 RNC at this stage. 2.3 Configuring The RNC OncesetupinRasoftPro, the RNC will use default Rooms. Thebutton mapping screen for the RNC can be accessed by selecting it in the Device list; this will open the Device Editor for the RNC Device. RNC Manual Version 2.0.0

To apply a template to an RNC: - In the button mapping tab of the Device editor, scroll to the bottom to view the templates menu. Thetemplates section will vary depending on the RNC - Select the relevant template and click Load Template. This will open a pop-up box; select yes to overwrite the mapping with the template. - Themappingsforthis template will now appear in the left tile of the Device editor. - Click “save for upload” at the bottom of the page to upload these settings onto the RNC. - At this point, a progress bar will appear on the screen. Touch the RNC on the HUB to upload the new settings. 2.3.1 Button Layout TheRNChaslabelledinputs that represent the buttons on the Keypad. The inputs are as follows: RNC Manual Version 2.0.0

2.3.2 The Mapping Section All programmed inputs for the Device must first have a mapping. The purpose of a mappingis to program a button to perform a specific command. Each input has its own letter to represent its input; the RNC has up to 10. Newmappingscanbecreatedbyselectingadisabledfieldandselecting the corresponding input letter in the next column: 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.

Trigger on press Trigger the output command when the button is pressed. Trigger on release Trigger the output command when the button is released. 2.3.4 Button action Theoutput actions of the buttons inputs are set up in the button action section, the following options are available: Function Description Room TheRoomnumberoftheoutputcommand.

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. 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.
