RCI-4L Instruction Manual
The Rako RCI-4Lis a battery powered interface unit for up to 4 x 2 way
latching olt-free switch inputs. Programmed by NFC (Near Field
Communication) with macro capability.
The Rako RCI-4L accepts olt-free latching switch inputs such as standard
domestic light switches and transmits wireless Rako coded Rakom messages to
other Rako wireless recei er and Bridge units.
Cabling – The RCI module is designed to fit in a back-box locally to the
connected switch inputs. Excessi e cable lengths can pick up noise which can
cause intermittent operation or spurious triggering. The recommended
maximum cable length is 300mm. For interfacing remotely the RMRVF should
be used instead.
Note: This product can only be programmed with RASOFT Pro software and
the Rako RAMPI programming interface.
Battery
The RCI4-L requires a single CR2032 lithium cell battery for power
Warning
Lithium batteries may explode if handled incorrectly. Always dispose of used
batteries in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
Installation
The RCI-4L is designed to fit into a UK
backbox. As the unit transmits a wireless
message to remote recei ers it is important
that the aerial is not surrounded by
metalwork which will restrict transmitting
range, as may be the case with a metal
backbox and co er plate. It is highly
recommended to feed the aerial out of any
backbox as shown right.
The only connections required are those to the switched inputs and should be
made as shown below
Pr ogramming.
The following assumes that the user is already programming a system using
Rasoft Pro, if this is not already the case follow the guide 'Rasoft Pro-Wireless
module set-up guide' downloadable from www.rakocontrols.com/support
Hold the RAMPI against (or near to) the RCI-4L as shown below.
