Corresponding to the position of the remote control and setting software
RC-09
Operating device + device + action = first point emission
For example: TV TV Power, the RP-20 will sent emission by the first point of IR infrared signal .
RP-20 software
Control Validation / infrared appliances scenarios set / Appliances
RP-20 first point controls with six IR emitter + a wired control, you can handle most of the device
which is not accommodated in the cabinet environment.
But the remote controller of e2-Lvie is only RC-09, RP-20 remote control software support the
first point emission, if this environment controlled by the first point, it will control in the range of all
of the appliances, we recommend using All emission,the model can achieve the same effect as
well.
All emission support all kind of remote controller of e2-Live. such as RC-09, itouch, VC-1500
Consistent with previous operating mode, HT-100, RP-20 software, etc., select the device (TV,
DVD ...) first, then press (Power, CH +, CH- ....), After RP-20 received, all of the IR emitor will
emission at the same time, no need to specify a fixed point.
The conditions of single point emission are:
There are two same brand device in same space, in order to avoid action together, it will need
to specify a single point of emission
For example, air-conditioned in living room or master bedroom.
Learn the IR signal of air-conditioned to A / C position,
The living room can using the first point emission which can emit to all space of the room.
The air conditioning of the master room can use a single point of independent wiring type
remote control
If both need to be controlled together, you can adopt all points emission.
After pointing device
button and choose
"Point 1" emission.
The RP-20 will send
an infrared signal
from the first IR
emission point.
When the scenario is
set, if want to output
the first point, then
please click on "1",

Point 2 ~ 7 are wired control
1. Appliances in Audio/Video cabinet tank:
IR signals cannot penetrate the veil, if the device is placed in the cabinet tank, IR emission
lines need to be extended to the cabinet in order to control
2. Devices are placed on the range of control
IR extension wire can help to solve the problem of IR emit signal been cut off by shelter.
3. If two same brand devices were placed in the same place, for example, the air-condition of living
room, master bedroom,
Learning IR signal of your air condition onto the button of A/C
Use top open IR to remote the air condition in the living room
Put point 1 wiring IR to reach your master bedroom to control your second air condition
If you want to control both of your air condition, you can use all emission output
RP-20 package provides two IR infrared emission lines, connect to appliances can be installed
according to the needs of the field wiring.
Packaging box with two IR
emission line, please let emitting

How to operate the RP-20F control points individually
RP-20F support individual IR emission, following devices can be control individually.
RP-20 software, Need to be open by PC
RC-09 smart controller, provide three control type of whole region, point second, and point third
iTouch APPsoftware, provide whole region, point second, and point third
Individual IR control are related with RP-20 wiring and scenario editing actions, according to the
installation environment, make sure which device need to be individual control, and with the
matching use of hardware and software. The following, for the above-mentioned current e2-Live
system provide individual operator interface will be described.
Use the software of RP-20F (need to connect to PC)
Use RC-09 smart controller
