Chapter 1. Welcome
Chapter 1. Welcome
Thank you for using the RP-6 Remote Control Processor. The RP-6 is an advanced
programmable control system that is designed to automate the operation of audio and
video systems such as home theaters. It interfaces with a system’s A/V, lighting, and
other equipment by using addressable IR and RS-232 output ports. In addition, the RP-6
provides relay contact closures and power sensing capabilities. All of the system’s
control commands and sequences of commands (macros) are stored in non-volatile
Flash memory within the RP-6. These commands are executed by IR or RF trigger codes
using one of RTI’s remote control interface products. It is also possible to trigger the
stored commands by using third-party remote controls.
The RP-6 is flexible enough to be the perfect control system in a small room with just a
few connected devices, or in a much larger system with dozens of devices integrated
into an affordable, easy to use system.
The RP-6 requires the TheaterTouch Designer™ programming software. This software is
free and can be downloaded from the RTI website (www.rticorp.com).
Before using the RP-6, please read and follow all of the instructions in this guide.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Please read these important notes about the RP-6:
•
The RP-6 should be placed in an area where it is around normal room
temperature (between 50°F to 90°F).
•
Do not let the RP-6 get wet. It should not be handled with wet hands or placed in
an area where it could get wet.
•
Do not subject the RP-6 to smoke, dust, or vibrations.
•
Use only the power supply that is provided with the RP-6. Using the wrong type
of power supply may result in permanent damage.
•
Do not disassemble the unit. Service and repair should be performed by an
authorized technician only.

MOUNTING
The RP-6 can be mounted on either a shelf or a wall (see Appendix A for mounting hole
details). Since the IR output ports can drive up to 1000 feet of wire, and the optional
Power Sensor and Communication Modules can be extended, the RP-6 does not need to
be mounted near the equipment being controlled.
CONNECTING THE AC ADAPTER
The included AC adapter should be connected to the POWER jack on th e RP-6. The
power LED will turn-on and the output LEDs will toggle on and off in sequence to
confirm that the unit is running properly.
Use only the supplied AC adapter to power the RP-6. Using a different power supply
could result in damage to the RP-6 or poor performance.
CONNECTING IR EMITTERS TO OUTPUT PORTS
The multi-purpose output ports on the RP-6 are compatible with industry standard
infrared emitters and infrared repeating systems. Each output port is capable of driving
up to four infrared emitters directly. More than four infrared emitters requires an
amplified connecting block. A connecting block can be wired up to 1000 feet away from
the RP-6 using #22 AWG (minimum) wire.
For the most reliable connection to the RP-6 output ports, make sure to use the
included IR emitter adapter cables.
CONNECTING POWER SENSOR MO DULES
The multi-purpose output ports on the RP-6 are compatible with RTI power sensing
modules (e.g. VPS-1 and SPS-1). Follow the guide included with the modules for
installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the TheaterTouch Designer™
software guide for programming details.
CONNECTING COMMUNICATION MODULES
The multi-purpose output ports on the RP-6 are compatible with RTI communication
modules (e.g. CM-232). Follow the guide included with the modules for installation
instructions, and follow the instructions in the TheaterTouch Designer™ software guide
for programming details.
CONNECTING INFRARED RECEIVERS
The RP-6 is compatible with industry standard IR receivers, repeater systems, and
keypads. Connect the SIGNAL IN, GROUND, and +12VDC (if power is needed)
terminals to the signal out, ground, and power (if needed) terminals of the desired
8
Chapter 3. Installation
device. The RP-6 provides a 1K ohm load between SIGNAL IN and GROUND. In some
cases this load may need to be increased by attaching a smaller value resistor across the
two terminals.
If the RP-6 sees an incoming system trigger code with a matching zone ID, it will
execute the command or macro associated with that code. The RP-6 can be programmed
to either block or pass miscellaneous IR data through it’s output ports.
CONNECTING RF RECEIVERS
The RP-6 is compatible with RTI RF receiver modules (e.g. RM-433). Follow the guide
included with the modules for installation instructions.
CONNECTING THE INFRARED HIGH OUT
The RP-6 is compatible with industry standard IR connecting blocks. Connect the HIGH
OUT and GROUND terminals to the signal input and ground terminals on the
connecting block. This is useful if you have many devices to control, or you want to
extend control into other rooms.
This output has short circuit protection, but does not provide a series resistor for current
limiting. It should not be connected directly to IR emitters.
CONNECTING THE RELAYS
The three relays in the RP-6 can provide contact closure or switching control for loads
up to 3A/30VDC each. All three relays are Normally Open when not energized, but
they can be programmed to behave Normally Closed as long as power is applied to the
RP-6.
For contact closure control, simply connect the A and B contact terminals of a relay to
the desired device.
To use a relay as a voltage trigger, connect the positive side of a power supply to
CONTACT A, and connect CONTACT B and the ground side of the power supply to
the desired device. If the desired trigger voltage is +12VDC, it can be sourced directly
from the RP-6.

Chapter 4. Operation
Chapter 4. Operation
ADJUSTING IR OUTPUT GAIN
The IR output gain can be separately adjusted for each of the six output ports. The RP-6
is shipped with the IR gain set to the optimum level for most equipment, and it should
only need to be adjusted if the attached equipment is not responding reliably.
If adjustment is needed use the included screwdriver to rotate the IR output
clockwise for higher output power, or counter-clockwise for lower output power.
STATUS LED
The status LED will illuminate Green if a valid system trigger code is detected. The LED
will stay on while the RP-6 is busy processing the action associated with the trigger
code.
The status LED will flicker Green if an invalid system trigger code is detected. A trigger
code is invalid if there is no action associated with it (i.e. the RP-6 programming does
not match the programming in the device that is transmitting the trigger code), or if the
system zone code does not match.
POT
The status LED will illuminate Red if the RP-6 does not contain a valid program.
The status LED will also illuminate Green to indicate an active USB connection. A
communication problem is indicated if the status LED is illuminated red while the USB
cable is attached to a PC.
PROGRAMMING THE RP-6
The RP-6 must be programmed to operate. All programming is done using RTI’s
TheaterTouch Designer™ software and is downloaded using the USB port.
Important Note: The RP-6 will not respond to trigger codes or execute
commands while the USB cable is attached to a PC. You must detach the
RP-6 USB port from your PC for normal operation.
The software allows you to create actions (e.g. commands and macros) that are
associated with button presses on one or more RTI remote controls. The software
transparently creates all of the system trigger codes, and generates the correct download
for every device in the system. Unless you implement some of the software’s advanced
features, programming a system that uses an RP-6 is just as easy as programming one
that doesn’t.
11
RP-6 Remote Control Processor
SETTING THE ZONE CODE
If the RP-6 is installed in close proximity to others, the system Zone Code can be
changed in the TheaterTouch™ Designer software. This allows up to 256 separate control
systems to operate in the same general area such as multi dwelling units or homes with
more than one media system.
THE EXPANSION PORT
The expansion port provides two-way serial communication for use with a RF
transceiver, Ethernet bridge, etc.
