DR1
DIGITAL REMOTE
General Description
Rane Digital Remotes simplify end user control and eliminate
installer brain fatigue. All oer customizable backlit LCD
screens for intuitive end user labeling. All are available in three
colors to coordinate with surroundings: white, ivory or black,
and include a matching Decora® plate cover.
Home run shielded CAT 5e (or better) connections to a
HAL, EXP or CP66 eliminate addressing, external power, and
the need to test the cables. e DR can be up to 300 meters
(1000 feet) away from its host. It mounts in a standard two-gang
U.S. electrical box.
Display screens are dynamic, automatically updating when
the available options change through preset activation, room
combining, and so on. erefore, the user always sees the op-
tions that are currently available. A DR1 provides a single level
control, used most commonly to control volume.

Specification
e digital remote shall control one or more simultaneous
levels and be located up to 300 meters (1,000 feet) away from
the rack room multiprocessor. e digital remote shall have
a customizable backlit LCD screen for end user labeling with
variable and automatic backlight dimming feature for superior
visibility under varying light conditions. e digital remote shall
connect to and be powered by the rack room multiprocessor
using a dedicated homerun over shielded CAT 5e (or better)
cable. Low communication data rates shall permit use of
punch-down blocks or RJ-45 patch bays for homerun cable
routing exibility as well as relaxed minimum bend radius. e
shielded CAT 5e interface shall transport power, ground and
a communications channel. e digital remote shall support
portable use and hot-swapping so that devices may be replaced
without reprogramming or shutting down the system, and do so
without audio interference. Within seconds, all settings for new
or existing portable digital remotes shall automatically download
from the multiprocessor along with the correct rmware
permitting continuous hot-swapping – even between dierent
vintage multiprocessors. e hardware-software combination
shall automatically check and display the status, location, and
CAT 5e crimp and wiring integrity. Hardware and software
troubleshooting indications shall point out any and all errors.
e digital remote shall t into a 1-gang US standard electrical
junction box. e digital remote shall be available in white, ivory
or black, and come with a matching Decora® wallplate.
e Digital Remote shall be a Rane DR1 connected to a Rane
HAL multiprocessor or EXP expander running Rane Halogen
software.
All features & specications subject to change without notice.
