What is the RMT-PILL?
The RMT-PILL trailing edge dimmer is suitable for mains dimmable leds or halogens. It is intended to be installed in a backbox as a retrofit solution. Depending on the fittings used in conjunction with the RMT-PILL, it can be used with or without a neutral connection. RMT-PILL modules can be controlled by any Rako device that transmits wireless messages.
NB
The RMT-PILL is not suitable for inductive loads, such as toroidal
transformers.
Loadings
With Neutral
- Min: 1W
- Max: 250W
- It can be used with any trailing edge dimmable fittings (eg LEDs)
Without neutral
- Min.: 60W
- Max. 250W Mains Voltage: tungsten or halogen only.
Installation of the RMT-PILL
Installation should only be carried out by a competent electrician.
- Modules should be mounted in areas that are adequately ventilated, dry, and outside of any enclosed metal casings that may interfere with the wireless signal.
- While the modules are designed to be maintenance-free, they should be mounted in an accessible location should investigation or re-addressing of the units be necessary.
- Allow for additional space inside the backbox for cables and the unit.
- While the modules are designed to be completely maintenance-free, they should be mounted in an accessible location should investigation or re-addressing of the unit be necessary.
- The RMT-PILL dimmers are designed to be mounted in a wall-mounted electrical back box or conduit box.
- If a metal back box is used, then the aerial should be mounted outside of the back box, into the wall.
- Without a neutral, the RMT-PILL can only be used with mains voltage tungsten halogen and not mains voltage LEDs. It is not suitable for low-voltage or any other transformer-fed lighting types.
- Only use the dimmer with both neutrals connected or neither. Wiring a single neutral risks damaging the dimmer.
Auxiliary Input
The auxiliary input can be used in conjunction with a third-party switch to control the load without the use of a Rako wireless command.
NB
Rasoft Pro and a suitable Communication Device (RAMPI/HUB) are required to
enable the auxiliary input.
Initial Checks
- When power is initially connected to the module, the load should power up to full brightness.
- The internal LED behind the button should flicker when the module receives any Rako wireless message.
- Should the module not respond to any of the above, then further investigation must be made before proceeding further.
Programming the RMT-PILL
Once the RMT-PILL has powered up and has been tested working with the setup
button, the device is ready to be programmed. For instructions on how to
program the RMT-PILL, see the Wireless Module Setup Guide.
Appendix 1: LED Diagnostics
Should the module not respond to any of the above, check the supply voltage. Thank you for choosing Rako Controls; we hope that you are pleased with your system.
