Installation and Setup Instructions
Description
The RadioRA Network Control Interface (NCI) allows
you to control lighting throughout your home–via any
popular web browser–while utilizing an existing home
network.
Overview
Before you can begin using the NCI, you need to set
up and program the RadioRA system.
The RS232 Interface or Chronos
TM System Bridge and
Timeclock must be installed and RS232 Scenes programmed for the NCI to access them. Refer to the
RS232 Interface Setup and Installation Guide
(P/N 044-005) or the Chronos Setup and Installation
Guide (P/N 044-037) for more information.
In addition, you must have at least the following:
• PC or other web browser-enabled device capable
of browsing the NCI setup pages (Note: Do not
connect the NCI directly to a PC)
• Available port on a home or office network with a
DHCP Server (commonly found in a router, but
not in a hub or switch)
• RA-NET-120 hardware
Important Notes
Codes: Install in accordance with all local and
national electrical codes.
Power: Use only the adapter provided with the NCI.
Caution - Using an adapter not rated for
the following specifications could damage
the NCI and possibly overheat the adapter.
• Input: 120 V 60 Hz 6 W
• Output: 12 V 300 mA
NEC Class 2; IEC PELV
Environment: Ambient operating temperature:
0-40 °C, 32-104 °F, 0-90% humidity, non-condensing.
Indoor use only.
Cleaning: To clean, wipe with a clean damp cloth.
DO NOT use any chemical solutions. DO NOT paint
the NCI.
Mounting: DO NOT ground the NCI.
Setup: The NCI will not function until it is configured
and connected to a RadioRA system that has already
been setup.

Setup and Installation
1. Mount the NCI. Place the NCI in a suitable clean,
dry, ventilated indoor location, near the RS232
Interface or Chronos
TM
System Bridge and
Timeclock. Using the screws and anchors
provided, mount the interface in a convenient
location.
Note: The NCI is not designed to be installed in an
attic, crawl space, or an outdoor location.
2. Connect RS232 Cable. Connect a standard 9pin serial cable to the serial port on the
NCI. Connect the other end of the cable to the
serial port on the RS232 Interface (RA-RS232) or
Chronos System Bridge and Timeclock (RA-SBTCHR). See NCI Connections (below).
3. Connect Ethernet Cable. Connect a
standard Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 jack on the
NCI. Connect the other end of the cable to the
Ethernet hub/switch/router.
Note: Do not connect the NCI directly to a PC.
See NCI Connections (below).
4. Connect Power. Insert the power adapter’s barrel
plug into the power jack on the RA-NET-120. Plug
the power adapter into a standard 120 V 60 Hz
wall receptacle. The Power LED (see NCI
Connections, below) should illuminate when the
NCI has power.
