Installation & Operation
Mounting
The RKM-1+ is designed for flush-mount installations in walls or cabinets. It requires an
available mounting depth of 1.5 inches (38mm), including cables, from the front surface of
the wall. RTI recommends that the RKM-1+ be mounted in a single-gang electrical box or
mud ring.
Power
The RKM-1+ is turned on simply by applying power to it either via a connecting block (e.g.
the RTI CB-8) or other power supply (9VDC - 16VDC, 350 mA), such as an RTI PS16-1.
LED Backlit Film Installation & Custom Wallplate and Button Replacement
The LED backlit film can be changed to more closely match the audio sources that will be
controlled. A sheet with ten lens films is included with the RKM-1+, each with different source
configurations. Additionally, different colored wallplates and buttons allowing you to further
tailor your RKM-1+. To install the LED display film, change the faceplate, and/or replace the
keys, follow the instrutions below:
1) Remove the wallplate by pressing a
flathead screwdriver into the release tab
slots.
2) If applicable, remove existing hard button(s)
with your fingers and replace with the color
button. Press the button down and
right-side-up on the keypad until it is firmly
seated.
3) If changing the LED backlit film, press
screwdriver into groove on backside
of the faceplate to pull display lens off.
3) Choose appropriate LED backlit film.
4) Align film inside the raised edge on the
backside of the display lens (the letters
