It’s Under Control®
Thank you for using the ZRP-6 Remote Control Processor.
The second generation of the award-winning RP-6 Control Processor, the
ZRP-6 raises the level of automation capabilities of any electronics system.
Loaded with features to provide sophisticated control, the ZRP-6 has
built-in IR routing and pass-through, relay control, 12VDC trigger outputs,
voltage sense inputs and Ethernet for program updating. The addition
of two dedicated RS-232 ports allows bi-directional communication from
compatible devices for status feedback such as lighting and volume levels.
Finally, the ZRP-6 stores all of the systems commands for more reliable
macro execution and powerful automation.
The ZRP-6 is the ideal centerpiece for any control system. While the ZRP-6
continues to support communication from RTI 433MHz RF receivers and in-
wall controllers, the next generation of control is at your ngertips when it
is used with separate RTI 2.4GHz transceiver modules (ZM-24) and remote
controls (utilizing ZigBee®mesh network technology).
