XP-3 8 Remote Control Processor
It’s Under Control® CHAPTER 1 | WELCOME Thank you for using the XP-3 Remote Control Processor. The XP-3 is designed to automate and enhance the operation of A/V, security, lighting, HVAC, and countless other devices in a commercial or residential environment. The XP-3 is packed with features including a variety of control options, such as two-way RS-232, relays, Ethernet, and routable IR. The processor also has a built-in 2.
XP-3 Remote Control Processor CHAPTER 1 | PRODUCT CONTENTS Contents within the box include the following items: • One (1) XP-3 Remote Control Processor • One (1) Installation Guide • One (1) Universal Power Supply • One (1) Power Cord • One (1) RS-232 Adapter • Two (2) Phoenix Connectors • One (1) XP-3 Removable Antenna • One (1) XP-3 Mounting Plate with screws UNPACKING AND INSPECTION After unpacking your new XP-3 Remote Control Processor, save all of the packing materials in case you ever have to ship
It’s Under Control® CHAPTER 2 | FEATURES The XP-3 provides superior quality and reliability as well as these specific features: Powerful 32bit, 533MHz CPU. 128Mb of non-volatile Flash memory stores your system configuration even when power is not present. One multi-purpose I/O port supports optional RTI power sensing and communications modules. Two IR output ports. Two assignable voltage sense inputs. Two programmable relay outputs.
XP-3 Remote Control Processor CHAPTER 2 | FEATURES IR Output Adjustment Controls Status Lights Antenna Reset Button RS-232 Ethernet USB Power Supply Output Ports: - Port 1 = MPIO - Ports 2 & 3 = IR only +12VDC Relays (2) Sense inputs (2) NOTE: Sense input #1 can also be configured as an input for RTI RM-433 antennas or RTI in-wall controllers.
It’s Under Control® CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 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.
XP-3 Remote Control Processor CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION POWER The included AC adapter should be connected to the POWER jack on the XP-3 or the 12VDC/Ground terminals (see below). The power LED will turnon. Use only the supplied AC adapter to power the XP-3. Using a different power adapter could result in damage to the XP-3 or poor performance.
It’s Under Control® CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION CONNECTING IR EMITTERS TO OUTPUT PORTS The multi-purpose input/output (MPIO) port and 2 IR emitter ports on the XP-3 are compatible with industry standard infrared emitters and connecting blocks. Each output port is capable of driving up to two infrared emitters directly. More than two infrared emitters per port requires an amplified connecting block. A connecting block can be wired up to 1000 feet away from the XP-3 using #22 AWG (minimum) wire.
XP-3 Remote Control Processor CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION 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.
It’s Under Control® CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION PROGRAMMING THE XP-3 Please note that the XP-3 must be programmed to operate. All programming is done using RTI’s Integration Designer software and is downloaded using the USB port. After the Ethernet parameters are configured, system files can be downloaded over Ethernet. The software allows you to create actions (e.g. commands and macros) that are associated with button presses on one or more RTI remote controls.
