Rane SR 2 Smart Remote for the RPM 88, RPM 44 and RPM 22

Mapping

Remotes are easily mapped to specific functions or parameters within a particular RPM using Drag Net's Remote Map feature. It is possible to assign a single remote to one or more parameters - to control a mono or stereo zone level, for example.

It is also possible to assign multiple remotes to control the same parameter, as in a primary/secondary arrangement. Remotes linked in this manner automatically track each other's changes, remaining in synch at all times.

Connection

All Smart Remotes are electrically compatible with standard RS-485 interfaces plus power, typically requiring only shielded CAT 5 cable with two twisted pairs. Any combination of star or series wiring is permitted, within the guidelines specified in the operators manual.

A maximum of 8 remotes connect to the RS-485 bus at one time. A rotary switch on the side of each unit sets a unique address, numbered 0 through 7.

Security

In addition to the power and data connections, each remote features an Encoder Lock which, when grounded using an external key switch or other method, effectively prevents unauthorized users from making changes, while still displaying the current status.

Mounting

The remotes mount in a standard U.S. electrical box with a minimum depth of 2 1/4" inches, and covered with a standard Decora plate cover. Since Decora plates come in different colors, each SR 2 ships with four different inserts that install behind the lens.

If the architect or interior designer requires a custom color, templates allowing a custom insert (out of the wall paper, if need be,) and cut to the proper size are available.
