XP-3 Advanced Control Processor
Boasting a powerful 533MHz CPU and 128MB of non-volatile ash memory, the XP-3 processor packs a big punch
at a moderate price. With a built-in ZigBee
the XP-3 can provide the user with rock-solid control and feedback from devices such as music servers, lighting,
security, and much more. For complete control in any room, the XP-3 also allows powerful two-way control with
Ethernet-enabled RTI wired controllers and has full support for the RTiPanel App.
The XP-3 provides superior quality and reliability as well as these features:
• Powerful 32bit, 533MHz CPU.
• 128MB of non-volatile Flash memory.
• One multi-purpose I/O ports.
• Two IR variable output ports.
• Two assignable voltage sense inputs.
• Two programmable relay outputs.
• One two-way RS-232 ports.
• One integrated 10/100Base-T Ethernet port.
• Built-in astronomical clock.
• Built-in 2.4GHz Zigbee

Installation & Operation
PROGRAMMING THE XP-3
The XP-3 must be programmed to operate. All programming is done using RTI’s Integration Designer® software and is downloaded using the USB
Programming Port located on front of XP-3 or via Ethernet.
UPDATING FIRMWARE
It is highly recommended that this and all RTI products have the latest rmware installed. The rmware can be found in the Dealer section of the RTI
website (www.rticorp.com). Install the rmware using the USB Programming Port located on the front of XP-3.
MOUNTING
The XP-3 can be wall mounted (details below) or free standing.
The XP-3 does not need to be mounted near the equipment being controlled. The IR output ports and the optional Power Sensor modules can be
extended up to 1000 feet. If RS-232 control ports or the CM-232 Communication Module are used, the distance limitation is usually 50 feet depending
on baud rate.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
To mount the XP-3 to a wall, shelf, or cabinet you must use
the enclosed mounting plate.
• Level and anchor XP-3 mounting plate to desired wall,
shelf, or cabinet by screwing appropriate wall, shelf, or
cabinet fasteners (not included with the XP-3) through
the mounting plate fastener holes.
• When mounting the XP-3, be certain to choose a safe
location (e.g. away from electrical junction boxes, circuit
breakers, wet locations, etc.)
• Afx the XP-3 to the mounting plate by placing the
XP-3 channel locks located on the rear of the XP-3 over
the XP-3 channel lock clips located on the front of the
mounting plate. Slide the XP-3 down until the channel
lock clips lock into place.

ETHERNET
This RJ-45 port allows connection to a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
network (LAN) for programming, control and two-way
communication with compatible devices. Network settings such
as the IP address are congurable within Integration Designer.
This port also supports Power-over-Ethernet (POE) which will
power the XP-3.
RS-232 PORT
The XP-3 is capable of two-way RS-232 communication and
uses industry standard cat5 cable with RJ-45 termination
(EAI-561). An RJ-45 to DB9 adapter is included with the XP-3.
NOTE: RS-232 communication is typically limited to 50 feet
depending on the baud rate.
RJ-45 TO DB-9 ADAPTER PINOUT
POWER
To power the XP-3, use the supplied 12VDC/1Amp power supply.
ALTERNATIVE: POWER-OVER-ETHERNET (POE)
The XP-3 can alternatively be powered using Power Over Ethernet,
allowing the power to be extended to the XP-3 over the same Cat-5
cable that carries Ethernet communication. If this method will be
used, a class 3 POE router or POE injector will need to be used.

VOLTAGE SENSE INPUTS/RTI TRIGGER INPUT
The XP-3 has two voltage sense inputs (+3-24 VDC) that are congurable within
Integration Designer. During the execution of an event, macros can trigger IR
commands, RS-232 commands, relay closure, etc., based on the status of the voltage
sense input.
Connect positive lead from voltage source to Sense In 1 or 2 terminal input and
negative lead to Ground terminal.
NOTE: The SENSE IN 1 terminal can be congured in Integration Designer as an input
for the RTI RM-433 antenna and RTI in-wall keypads. Systems using the XP-3 Control
Processor that will incorporate an RTI 433MHz RF remote control (and the RM433
antenna) or non-Ethernet enabled RTI in-wall controller, should be limited to one
secondary zone that will not be heavily used. (ie. guest bedroom, outdoor area etc).
NOTE: When congured as an RTI trigger input, it does not allow IR pass-through from
external devices and does not support IR receivers.
RELAYS
The two relays in the XP-3 can provide contact closure or switching control for loads up
to 5A/30VDC each. Both relays are Normally Open when not energized, but they can be
programmed to behave Normally Closed as long as power is applied to the XP-3.
For contact closure control, connect the A and B contact terminals of a relay to the
desired device.
INFRARED EMITTERS
The multi-purpose I/O port (port 1) on the XP-3 is
compatible with industry standard infrared emitters and
infrared repeating systems. Each output port is capable
of driving up to two infrared emitters directly. The use of
more than two infrared emitters requires the addition of
an amplied connecting block. A connecting block can be
wired up to 1000 feet away from the XP-3 using #22 AWG
(minimum) wire.
INFRARED OUTPUT GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The IR output gain can be separately adjusted for each
of the three output ports. The XP-3 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, rotate
the IR output controls on the front of the XP-3 clockwise
for higher output power, or counter-clockwise for lower
output power.

and follow the instructions in the Integration Designer
software for programming details.

lit red, indicating that the operating system is starting up. The Status LED
will then turn green, indicating the system le and drivers are being loaded.
When the light turns off, the processor has nished starting up and is ready
for use. During operation, the Status LED will light green as the XP-3
executes commands or macros.
