The WCM-D allows Custom & Third Party Switch Plates to be used in place of a standard
Rako wired wall panels (WCM). The WCM-D will fit inside a single gang back box. Up to
nine switch inputs can be taken per WCM-D. The switch plate can be formed of Latching or
Momentary Action switches which have short wires to terminals on the WCM-D.

Wiring Switches to the WCM

The WCM-D is wired into 2 pluggable sets of terminals. The 8 way terminal block connects
to the Rako wired network formed of cat5/cat6 cable with cable allocations as set out above.

The 10 way terminal block is used to wire up to nine 3rd party switch panels into the
WCM-D. Inputs “A-E” are used by pairing with either of the “Common 1” terminals and “F-J”
with the “Common 2” terminals.

NB

Input J cannot be wired to a switch it is used for set-up purposes only.

Terminating the WCM-D

End of line termination

When the WCM-D is at the “end of line” position a resistor termination is required. This is
provided with the WCM-D. The resistor is placed between the Blue and the Blue/White.

Star termination

When used in conjunction with a RAK-Star a star termination is required. It should be wired
as follows:

See RAK-STAR user manual for when to use star termination.

Setting up the WCM-D

- First open Rasoft Pro and ensure an WK-HUB or WA/WTC-Bridge is successfully
connected (see wired programming guide for details).

- Short either of the two “Common 2” inputs with E/J to give a continuous J input for 3
or 4 seconds (when the WCM-D successfully enters set-up mode the LED will begin
to blink).

- If the installation is correct a pop up box will appear in Rasoft Pro. If no pop up box
appears there is most likely an error in the wiring of the Rako Wired Network.

- Enter a suitable name and assign the local room.
