Installation & Operation
PROGRAMMING THE XP-8v
The XP-8v 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-8v 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-8v.

INFRARED EMITTERS
The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8v are compatible with industry
standard infrared emitters and infrared repeating systems. Each output port is
capable of driving up to four infrared emitters directly. The use of more than
four infrared emitters requires the addition of an amplied connecting block. A
connecting block can be wired up to 1000 feet away from the XP-8v using #22
AWG (minimum) wire.
INFRARED OUTPUT GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The IR output gain can be separately adjusted for each of the eight output
ports. The XP-8v 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-8v clockwise for higher output power, or counterclockwise for lower output power.
NOTE: The IR output feedback LEDs located on the front of the XP-8v will
illuminate when any IR code is delivered out of a port. This includes IR codes
“passing through” from another source, such as an IR receiver.
VPS-1 SENSOR MODULE
The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8v are compatible with RTI power
sensing modules (e.g. VPS-1). Follow the guide included with the modules
for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the Integration
Designer® software for programming details.
RS-232 COMMUNICATION MODULES (CM-232)
The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8v are compatible with RTI RS-232
communication modules (e.g. CM-232). Follow the guide included with
the modules for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the
Integration Designer® software for programming details.

The XP-8v is capable of two-way control using RS-232 communication via eight RJ-45
output ports using standard Cat-5 cable with RJ-45 termination (568B). The XP-8v ships
with eight RJ-45 (female) to DB-9 (male) adapters.
IMPORTANT NOTE: RS-232 communication cabling should be limited to 50 feet (16m)
depending on baud rate.

SENSE INPUT
Upon sensing contact closure or a voltage (2-24VDC), events can be
automatically triggered such as a macro or command.
Sense contact closure: Connect conductors from the source device
to each side of a sense input (A and B).
Sense voltage trigger: Connect positive lead from voltage source to
Side A of sense input and ground lead to Side B.
RELAYS/TRIGGER OUTPUTS
Relays may be congured as a dry contact closure or a voltage trigger
output (12VDC @100mA). All relays are Normally Open when not
Shades
energized, and may be programmed to behave Normally Closed (as long
as power is applied to the XP-8v).
Contact closure: Connect the A and B contact terminals of a relay
to the device.
Voltage trigger: Connect contact A to the positive lead and connect
Contact B to the ground lead of the device.
