Installation & Operation
Mounting
The RKM-1+ is designed for ush-mount installations in walls or cabinets. It requires an available
mounting depth of 1.5 inches (38mm) including cables, from the front surface of the wall. RTI
recommends that the RKM-1+ be mounted in a single-gang electrical box or mud ring.
Power
The RKM-1+ is turned on simply by applying power to it either via a connecting block (e.g. the
RTI CB-8) or other power supply (9VDC - 16VDC, 350 mA), such as an RTI PS16-1.
Selected Source Film, Faceplate and Button Installation
The selected source lm is LED backlit and may be changed to more closely match the audio
sources that will be controlled. A sheet with ten lens lms is included with the RKM-1+, each
with different source congurations. Additionally, different colored wallplates and buttons ship
with your RKM-1+, allowing you to further tailor your RKM-1+.
To install the selected source display lm and/or change the faceplate and button color:
1) Remove the faceplate by pressing a small at-
head screwdriver into the release tab slots and
use your ngers to pry-up and carefully remove
the faceplate.
2) Place screwdriver in groove on backside of face-
plate and press down to pry display lens off
3) Choose appropriate selected source lm and
faceplate/button color.
4) Align lm inside the raised edge on the back-
side of the display lens (the letters will appear
reversed from backside so that they appear cor-
rectly when viewed from frontside).
5) Once aligned, press lm rmly in place.
6) Snap display lens back onto faceplate color of
your choice, paying attention to correct orienta-
tion.
7) If changing keypad buttons, gently slide each
button off rubber mold one at a time. Carefully
align new buttons and press down until rmly
seated.
