WCM-D Instruction Manual
The WCM-D allows Custom & Third Party Switch Plates to be used in
place of a standard Rako wired wall panels (WCM). The WCM-D will fit
inside a single gang back box. Up to nine switch inputs can be taken per WCM-D. The
switch plate can be formed of Latching or Momentary Action switches which have short wires
to terminals on the WCM-D.
Wiring Switches to the WCM
The WCM-D is wired into 2 pluggable sets of terminals. The 8 way terminal block connects
to the Rako wired network formed of cat5/cat6 cable with cable allocations as set out above.
The 10 way terminal block is used to wire up to nine 3rd party switch panels into the
WCM-D. Inputs "A-E" are used by pairing with either of the "Common 1" terminals and "F-J"
with the "Common 2" terminals.
NB
Input J cannot be wired to a switch it is used for set-up purposes only.
Terminating the WCM-D
End of line termination
When the WCM-D is at the "end of line" position a resistor termination is required. This is
provided with the WCM-D. The resistor is placed between the Blue and the Blue/White.

  • Page 1 Rako wired wall panels (WCM). The WCM-D will fit inside a single gang back box. Up to nine switch inputs can be taken per WCM-D. The switch plate can be formed of Latching or Momentary Action switches which have short wires to terminals on the WCM-D.
  • Page 2 (see wired programing guide for details). Short either of the two “Common 2” inputs with E/J to give a continuous J input for 3 or 4 seconds (when the WCM-D successfully enters set-up mode the LED will begin to blink).
  • Page 3 Above is an example of how a three way momentary switch would be programmed when wired in to inputs A,B and C of a WCM-D. Example programming for a latching wiring configuration: Above is an example of how a two way latching switch would be programmed when wired in to inputs A and B of a WCM-D.
