 Automation/Control
RTI Intros New In-Wall System Controller
The RK2 was developed to provide a flexible interface that can control entertainment systems such as distributed music systems as well as adjust environmental/lifestyle functions such as lighting, HVAC, and motorized window curtains. Users can even operate pools and fountains with the RK2. It is the only the low-cost, compact in-wall touchpanel that provides both direct infrared control and 10/100Base-T Ethernet for IP control, which provides valuable benefits in a home. In addition to its bright, high-contrast monochrome touchscreen, the RK2 features seven hard buttons, which can be programmed for any command, or assigned macro command strings for exceptionally precise control over any component or system. Flash memory keeps all settings intact even when power is lost. RTI engineers designed the RK2 not only to satisfy its end users, but to be a smart solution for installers, who are required to seamlessly integrate control products with the rest of their systems. The RK2 has two built-in power-sense inputs, which allow the controller to monitor the power status of linked components and implement intelligent energy management plans. The controller's front panel features an IR receiver to provide IR pass-through control over connected equipment via remote control. When combined with RTI's accessory devices, the RK2 is infinitely flexible, capable of infrared routing, relay control, RS-232 communications for automation system control, and execution of macro command strings for control with exceptional precision. © Copyright 2003 by United Entertainment Media, Inc.
