Thank you for purchasing the U2 Weather Resistant Remote
Control. The U2 Weather Resistant Remote Control is designed for reliable
wireless control of audio/video systems from environments which are
too harsh for normal remote controls. It is completely sealed, making it
waterproof*. The U2 combines the convenience of eight programmable
“soft” buttons with an LCD display and the ideal selection of commonly
used keypad buttons. The high contrast display can be customized with any
combination of text and graphics desired. This provides a simple and exible
interface for operating today’s sophisticated electronic systems, regardless
of the location. The U2 Weather Resistant Remote Control is a perfect
companion for hot tubs, pools, bathrooms, and decks.
Used with RTI automation devices, the U2 Weather Resistant Remote
Control is capable of power sensing for reliable operation and RS-232
communications for advanced control. Sleek and durable, the U2 expands
your control to wherever your lifestyle requires.
COMPATIBILITY
The U2 Weather Resistant Remote Control is capable of radio frequency
output only and must be installed along with an RTI control processor and
RF antenna - it cannot deliver IR directly to devices. RTI control processors
and Integration Designer™ software are compatible with infrared (IR)
commands with carrier frequencies between 15KhZ and 460KhZ, as well as
those commands that do not use a carrier. This covers virtually all of the
remotes that exist to date.
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
The recommended minimum system requirements needed to run the
Integration Designer™ software are as follows:
Windows 2000®, Windows XP® or later version.
A free USB port.
At least 256 Megabytes of RAM.
At least 250 Megabytes of free disk storage.
Screen resolution of 800x600 with 16-bit color.
Optional printer for printing reports.
