to be either a dry contact
closure or a voltage trigger output (12VDC @100mA). All 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-8s).
For contact closure control, connect the A and B contact terminals of
a relay to the desired device.
To use a relay as a voltage trigger, connect Contact A to the positive
side and connect Contact B to the ground side of the desired device.

Connecting Block
TERMINAL: +12VDC
Positive power supply connection. It is internally tied to the Power jack. This
can be used to power external IR or RF receivers.
TERMINAL: GROUND
Common ground connection. Use this ground reference for any device that is
connected to the +12VDC, SIGNAL IN, OR HIGH OUT terminals.
TERMINAL: SIGNAL IN
Input connection for system trigger codes. This should be connected to an
RTI RM-433 RF receiver or industry standard IR repeater system. The signal
voltage can be from 3VDC - 12VDC.
TERMINAL: HIGH OUT
High current (200mA) IR output connection. This can be used to power up to
10 infrared mini-emitters, an IR blaster, or extending IR control over a long
distance (1000 ft. max).

ETHERNET
This RJ-45 port allows connection to a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet network (LAN).
Network settings such as the IP address are congurable within Integration

. Ethernet can be used to download system les to the XP-8s.
USB PORTS (REAR)
These are host ports for external devices and are intended for future use.
RTI COM
This RJ-45 port allows connection to a ZM-24 Zigbee
®
transceiver module. The
connection supports full duplex two-way communication for use with compatible
RTI handheld controllers. Refer to the ZM-24 Zigbee transceiver module
operation guide for installation instructions.
EXPANSION PORT
This RJ-45 port provides a convenient connection for receiving IR signals and
two-way RS-485 communication from RTI in-wall controls through a CB-8
connecting block.
NOTE: In-wall controllers may be connected directly to the XP-8s Expansion
Port, however, they should be powered with a separate power supply.
PROGRAMMING THE XP-8s
The XP-8s 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-8s 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 front of
XP-8s.
MOUNTING
The XP-8s ships with four removable feet that allow the
XP-8s to be placed on a at surface. The XP-8s can also be
mounted in a component rack as part of a comprehensive
control system. Remove feet before mounting in a rack.
