The Rako RAMPI is a programming device for either wireless systems (replacing

the obsolete RAUSB) via RF or Rako NFC (Near Field Communication) devices

such as the RNC wallplates or RCI-4L and RCI-7M interfaces. The RAMPI

incorporates RF receive and transmit functions as well as Bi-Directional NFC

communication.

Note: This product requires RASOFT Pro software to operate. Download the

software from www.rakocontrols.com/rasoftpro.

Wireless Programming

When used as a wireless programmer the RAMPI plugs into a USB port and allows

programming of a Rako wireless system, either individual modules or RAK4s

controlled by an RxLink. To program a system plug the RAMPI into a USB port,

Rasoft Pro will recognise the device and allow programming. The RAMPI has

internal blue and red LEDs below the set-up button. The blue LED flashes when

the RAMPI is transmitting wireless messages and the red LED flashes when

receiving Rako wireless messages. For more information on programming a

wireless system using Rasoft Pro see the programming guides 'Wireless module

set-up guide' or 'Wireless RAK system set-up guide' from

www.rakocontrols.com/support.

RAMPI Instruction Manual

NFC Programming of RNC or RCI Modules

The following assumes that the user is already programming a system using Rasoft

Pro, if this is not already the case follow the guide 'Rasoft Pro-Wireless module

set-up guide' downloadable from www.rakocontrols.com/support.

Hold the RAMPI against (or near to) the NFC device as shown below.

When the device is correctly positioned a green LED will flash in the RAMPI and a

window will pop-up in Rasoft Pro prompting the device to be named and

associated to a Room. Having done this go to the Device editor page select the

inputs as necessary and assign the associated actions. This will be a single action

such as selecting a scene. If a macro function is desired then select the Macro

radio button and a drop down menu of actions will appear (the actual macro steps

are defined under the Macro tab). Having input the required actions click on the

Data Transfer tab and click Upload to device. Rasoft will issue a prompt to hold

the RAMPI against (or near) the NFC device. When transferring data a progress

bar will appear in Rasoft Pro and a solid green LED will appear on the RAMPI.

Having done this go to the Device editor page select the inputs as necessary and assign the associated actions.
Page 2 To confirm the NFC device has been correctly programmed press the buttons (on an RNC panel) or activate the inputs (on an RCI interface). The RAMPI has an internal wireless receiver which will detect the transmissions and display the transmissions in the bottom right hand corner of Rasoft Pro. The RAMPI has an internal blue LED below the set-up button which flashes when the RAMPI receives a Rako wireless message.
