WARNING
CAN-2 RECEIVERS UTILIZING A DIFFERENT POWER SOURCE FROM THE COMPUTER SYSTEM
BEING CONNECTED TO IT CAN HAVE A DIFFERENT GROUND POTENTIAL FROM THE COMPUTER
SYSTEM. DIFFERENT GROUND POTENTIALS WILL DAMAGE EITHER THE COMPUTER SYSTEM OR
THE CAN-2 RECEIVER. AN ISOLATED USB HUB MUST BE UTILIZED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE
CAN-2, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM BEING CONNECTED TO THE CAN-2, OR BOTH.
5.4 PROGRAMMING WITH RCP
Magnetek RCP software makes the programming of the CAN-2 receiver easier and allows the
programmer to store all of the CAN-2 settings in files for later use or reference. Help is provided
for each function at the bottom of the RCP screen. The RCP software allows one to select
frequency, access code, and communication configuration. Follow the steps below:
Install the RCP Software
Install the RCP software onto your computer. The software is self-installing; simply insert the
USB stick into a USB slot on your computer and follow the onscreen prompts. Refer to the
installation instruction sheet for help. You will be prompted to enter an activation code. The code
can be found within the packaging that the USB stick came with. The software can be used 10
times before product activation is required.
Run the RCP Software
After installation of the RCP Software, double-click the RCP icon to launch the program.
New Project or Open Project
Select “New Project” if you are creating a new program file, or select “Open Project” if you want to
retrieve an existing program file. A list of recent projects will appear under “Open Project”.
Clicking on one of these will open that project. It is recommended that you create a folder in
which to save all programming files.
