The RCI-7M accepts volt-free momentary switch inputs and transmits wireless
Rako coded Rakom messa es to other Rako wireless receiver and Brid e units.
Cablin – The RCI module is desi ned to fit in a back-box locally to the connected

intermittent operation or spurious tri erin . The recommended maximum cable

Rako RAMPI pro rammin interface.

Warnin
Lithium batteries may explode if handled incorrectly. Always dispose of used
batteries in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
Installation
The RCI-7M is desi ned to fit into a UK
backbox. As the unit transmits a wireless
messa e to remote receivers it is
important that the aerial is not
surrounded by metalwork which will
restrict transmittin ran e, as may be the
case with a metal backbox and cover
plate. It is hi hly recommended to feed
the aerial out of any backbox as shown
ri ht.
The only connections required are those to the switched inputs and should be
made as shown below. Note: the RCI-7M is supplied with a 10-way socket and
crimped leads. Connections to the contacts should be no lon er than the supplied
leads.
