▪ Enable powerful control and supervision capabilities
▪ Integrate up to 100 devices in each remote control
network, 250 with multiple networks
▪ Freely programmable control inputs and outputs
The RCM-810 Remote Control Module is an optional
module for supervision and remote control of power
amplifiers.
RCM-810 modules allow the amplifiers to be
integrated into a remote control network with up to
100 devices. Up to 250 amplifiers can be used in an
IRIS-Net project when multiple networks are used.
Apart from the network port, the RCM-810 also offers
freely programmable control inputs and control
outputs.
Additional RCM-810 features:
• Control/Configuration:
• Power ON/OFF
• Power On Delay
• Mute
• Control Inputs/Outputs
Supervision/Status indicators:
• Load supervision for each amplifier channel
• Output VU
• Protect
• Limit
• Pilot tone
• Temperature
• Gain/Sensitivity
• Control Inputs/Outputs
For further details please check the owner’s manual of
the amplifier which the RCM-810 will be used in.
▪ Load-monitoring for each channel

Installation/configuration notes
Installation (dual-channel amplifier)
Danger!
These installation instructions are for use by
qualified service personnel only. To reduce the
risk of electric shock do not perform any serv-
icing other than that contained in the owner’s
manual unless you are qualified to do so.
1. Switch off the power to the amplifier and remove the
mains lead.
2. Remove the 4 screws (1) from the top cover of the
amplifier.
3. Loosen the top cover as shown (2) and remove it by
pulling it out towards the front panel
4. Remove the cover panel from the rear panel (2
screws)
5. Lay the black cable as shown in following illustration.

6. Slide the RCM-810 module into the slot and secure it
in place using the 2 screws
7. Gently push the 60 mm ribbon cable into the
connector labelled CN4 on the RCM-810 and the
connector labelled CN3 on the amplifier main board
(see illustration below)
2. Remove the 8 screws (1) from the bottom cover of
the amplifier
3. Loosen the bottom cover as shown (2) and remove it
by pulling it out towards the front panel
4. Remove the cover panel from the rear panel (2
screws)
5. Release the 16-pole ribbon cable by cutting the tie
wrap (3)
8. Refit the top cover
9. Set the module’s CAN address using the ADDRESS
selector switches
10. Connect the interfaces required (CAN, Control Port)
11. Reconnect the mains lead and switch the amplifier
on, the RCM-810 is automatically detected and is now
ready for use
Installation (multi-channel amplifier)
Danger!
These installation instructions are for use by
qualified service personnel only. To reduce the
