RTI350 Overview
Congratulations on purchasing a RECONYXTM RTI350 Wireless Remote Trigger and
Illuminator. The HyperFire™ RTI350 is a state-of-the-art wireless Passive InfraRed
(PIR) motion detector, and a night time InfraRed (IR) lluminator that is enclosed in a
secure, rugged, and weather-resistant case.
The RTI350 communicates wirelessly with a Remote Enabled Security or
Professional series camera from RECONYX
The RTI350’s motion sensor and illuminator can be used either as a supplement to or
as a replacement for the camera’s motion sensor and illuminator.
In the case where you are using it as a supplement to the camera you will need to be
sure the front of the camera is not blocked, or at least the parts of the camera that
you are using (i.e. illuminator and/or motion detector).
In the case where you want to use the Remote’s illumination and motion sensing
capabilities rather than the camera’s, you should turn off these functions on the
camera to save power and ensure you get the results you expect. In this case the
Camera can then be hidden while exposing only the lens and the light sensor (to the
left of the lens). The Remote will serve as the trigger and illuminator in this scenario.

Remote Quick Setup
First Time Setup
The first time you turn on your RTI350, you will be asked to select what type of
batteries you are using (NIMH or Lithium).
Once this option is selected the Remote is ready for use with the default settings.
Default settings on the Remote unit are:
Illuminator: On
Trigger: On
Channel: 1
Default settings for a Camera that is Remote Enabled are:
Illuminator (on camera): On
Trigger (on camera): On
Receiver: On
Transmitter: On
Channel: 1
NOTE:
The default settings for both devices are set so that the remote unit is
configured to be used as a supplement (in addition) to the Camera’s
capabilities.
If you want to use the Remote as the only trigger and/or illuminator for the
Camera, you should turn off the trigger and/or illuminator on the camera.
If you deploy the camera without the RTI350, you should turn off the
“receiver” and “transmitter” on the camera in order to conserve power.
The RTI350 will only function with a camera that has been
Remote enabled.
You can tell if your camera is Remote enabled by looking
for this sticker on the inside of your camera.

Batteries & Controls
Accessing the Batteries & Controls
To install the batteries, your HyperFireTM RTI350 is easily opened using the latch on
the right side of the device. Grasp behind the latch and flip it toward the front. The
device will open like a book, allowing access to the batteries, memory card and
settings.
Weatherproof Enclosure and Breathable Vent
Although the RTI350 comes in a weatherproof enclosure, there are a few things to
know to maintain the remote.
Each time you open your Remote it’s good practice to make sure the main
gasket is seated properly and no debris has gotten into the gasket channel. Also
be sure the latch is fully seated when closing your Remote to ensure a weathertight seal.
There is also a breathable vent (pictured) underneath
the latch of the remote. This vent allows the case to
equalize the internal pressure with the outside
environment while preventing moisture from entering
the case.
NOTE: If the vent becomes damaged in any way,
contact Reconyx for a replacement to prevent damage
to your device.

Battery Specifications and Installation
The RTI350 runs on twelve AA-cell batteries. We highly recommend using either
Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries or high-quality NiMH Rechargeable batteries in
both your Camera and Remote.
Alkaline batteries: do not provide as much power as Lithium or NiMH batteries and
they are adversely affected by both hot and cold weather, so we do not recommend
using them in your RTI350.
NiMH batteries: will run at temperatures down to 0°F. High temperatures can reduce
run time of NiMH batteries by 50% or more.
Lithium batteries: will run well at high temperatures and down to -20°F.
NOTE: We strongly advise that you not attempt to
run alkaline batteries in the RTI350, as the
performance will be very poor.
NOTE: Be sure to load batteries in the proper
orientation (alternating positive/negative, six
in each battery bay).
Warning! Do not mix battery types! Damage to the
Remote can result and your warranty will be voided if
you mix battery types.
The Remote will display the status of multiple
battery types; be sure that the display is showing
the same type of battery that you are using. You
can change the battery type in the menu to either
Lithium (LITH) or Nickel-Metal Hydride (NIMH).
Battery Performance
Lithium batteries can last up to a year. However, because the Remote settings,
camera settings, subject activity, individual battery performance and temperature all
vary, there is no way to precisely predict the run time for any given set of batteries.
TIP: You can purchase 1.5V Lithium batteries as well as RECONYXTM certified NiMH
rechargeable batteries and chargers at www.reconyx.com.
