1. house room and channel addresses Using the two banks of DIL switches on the back of a wall panel or hand control see Fig 3 a House address can be selected from one of up to 255 possible addresses and a Room address from one of up to 255 possible addresses Note House 0 is not a valid address and Room 0 is a special address which gives overall control for a whole house Room O should not be selected as a Room address without careful thought regarding the application Setting an address is the way in which interference between other Radio Controlled Radio systems either with other rooms within your house or neighbouring houses is avoided It should be remembered that a Rako transmitter may have a range of over 100m Rako controllers come set with a default address of House 1 Room 4 Channel 1 and whilst the unit will function with this address it is strongly advised that a specific and logical address for both House and Room be selected Modules can be given channel addresses from 1 8 allowing control from the 7 button wall plates and hand held controllers Some advanced grouping arrangements are possible allowing banks of modules to be controlled as groups within a room Systems with advanced programming need to be factory set For more details contact Rako Setting an Address Each Rako transmitter has two 8 way banks of switches for setting its address The two sets of switches allow the user to choose from 255 house addresses an2. the 12mm fixing screws or 25mm if needed secure the front plate to the PCB retainer and back box Note Transmission range is greatly enhanced if the aerial can be positioned outside of the back box This is because the front plate and back box will form a Faraday cage which will give very poor radio transmitting conditions To position the aerial correctly a hole must be cut in the back box and a small diameter hole drilled into the wall Straighten the aerial and push the aerial into the hole The best radio transmission will be achieved when all of the aerial fully extended and outside of the back box If because of physical constraints it is not possible to drill the hole in a position close to where the aerial emerges from the PCB retainer then the rear cover can be removed and the aerial re positioned in a more convenient aerial cut out see fig 2 Surface fixing with no back box Take the universal backing plate and screw this to the wall screws not included using the fixing slots Rotate the patress so that the bossed inserts are aligned horizontally and then using the 2 x self tapping screws fix the patress to the universal backing plate taking sure not to over tighten the screws Insert the PCB retainer into the patress and then using the 2 x 6mm fixing screws secure the front plate to the patress fixing the screws through the PCB retainer and into the bossed inserts Surface fixing to European back boxes For fix

Three button Mounted Switch RPSO3 Installation Programming and Operating Instructions General The rako three button control panels are designed for use with the Rako RACUB motor control units only with raise lower and stop functions Rako switches are designed to cope with a number of different installation situations These are predominantly Flush fixing into a UK back box Surface mounting with a UK back box Surface mounting with no back box or onto a European DIN standard or French box In order to fit successfully into all the above situations the wall plate is made from an assembly of parts all of which are supplied as standard and are listed below The parts can also be identified from the drawing Fig1 Note Depending on the application not all of the parts may be used 1 x Front plate 1 x PCB retainer complete with PCB and button pad 1 x Rear cover 1 x Patress 1 x Universal backing plate 2 x 6mm M3 5 fixing screws 2 x 25mm M3 5 fixing screws 2 x self tapping screws Universal backing plate _ _ f CD f C E x p d O N __ Fr f C 4 wi 7 Patress PCB Retainer Front Plate Fig 1 Front View of Components Batteries ww Fe a Rear Cover Pull out__ gt Tab Prise Point Q Addressin Switches Aerial Cu
