    RP-6 Remote Control Processor MOUNTING The RP-6 can be mounted on either a shelf or a wall (see Appendix A for mounting hole details). Since the IR output ports can drive up to 1000 feet of wire, and the optional Power Sensor and Communication Modules can be extended, the RP-6 does not need to be mounted near the equipment being controlled.
  • Page 15: Connecting Rf Receivers

    If the RP-6 sees an incoming system trigger code with a matching zone ID, it will execute the command or macro associated with that code. The RP-6 can be programmed to either block or pass miscellaneous IR data through it’s output ports.

    Chapter 4. Operation ADJUSTING IR OUTPUT GAIN The IR output gain can be separately adjusted for each of the six output ports. The RP-6 is shipped with the IR gain set to the optimum level for most equipment, and it should only need to be adjusted if the attached equipment is not responding reliably.
  • Page 18: Setting The Zone Code

    RP-6 Remote Control Processor SETTING THE ZONE CODE If the RP-6 is installed in close proximity to others, the system Zone Code can be changed in the TheaterTouch™ Designer software. This allows up to 256 separate control systems to operate in the same general area such as multi dwelling units or homes with more than one media system.
