User manual RANE RCP 3

[. . . ] The RCP 3 uses Inputs and Outputs 1, 2, & 3 of the SRM 66 for three rooms. The RCP 4 uses Inputs and Outputs 1, 2, 3 & 4 of the SRM 66 for 4 rooms. See the wiring diagrams on the following pages. New versions of the SRM 66 with firmware 2. 20 or later come with preprogrammed room combining systems, so no additional programming is requiring. [. . . ] Turn the DATA wheel clockwise until the Init field becomes RCP. Another warning screen appears with prompts. Press the EXE button again (yes this is the 3rd time). In approximately 10 seconds, the SRM 66 will be in the RCP Room Combining Mode. The RCP (Room Combining Panel) mode The SRM 66 has 24 Memories. The RCP mode of the SRM 66 uses the first 8 Memories for the room combining presets. Memories 9 through 24 are not preprogrammed. There are 8 MRP (Memory Recall Ports) for recalling various Memories through contact closures. MRP contacts 1, 2, & 3 have been reserved for room combining presets (Memories 1-8). MRP contacts 4-8 are programmed to recall Memories 20-24 when in RCP mode. The RCP 3 uses MRP contacts 1 & 2, and the RCP 4 uses MRP contacts 1, 2 & 3. See Table 1 for details. Memories are recalled by connecting MRP terminals and binary combinations of terminals to COM. Wiring Connections When wiring to Euroblocks, a minimum wire gauge of 22 is preferred for reliability. If the ground or shield wire is left shorter, it acts as a strain relief for the other wires. Cable with a flexible jacket is easier to use and less likely to damage the connections. Inspect wires for nicks that may lead to wire breakage. Fully insert each wire in the appropriate socket and tighten the screw. Turn the power to the unit off until all connections are made. WIRE TYPES Variations in wire type do not greatly affect the performance of the remote controls. You may use 3- or 4- conductor unshielded remote control signal cable for shorter runs (less than 200 ft. ) or 4-conductor (2 pair) shielded remote control signal cable (use the shield as the GND return) for longer runs (200 to 1000 ft. ). The type of wire required is influenced by your installation and local electrical codes. [. . . ] Room Combining Systems work by combining adjacent systems together. When rooms need to be combined, the SRM 66 mixes all of the mixer outputs within the combined zones. In addition, all SR1 L Remote Level Controls within the combined zones will be linked together.
