Installation of the RML-1200

WARNING: Installation should only be carried out by a competent electrician.

• RML1200 modules should be mounted in areas that are adequately ventilated, dry, and outside of any metal-enclosed casings that may interfere with the wireless signal.
• Modules should be mounted vertically, with the terminals at the bottom.
• Ensure that cable clamps are securely fitted on the supply and load cables.
• 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 units be necessary.

STEP 1:| | Remove the cover by removing the two screws at the bottom of the unit, pulling the bottom of the cover away from the bottom, and lifting it up.
---|---|---
STEP 2:| | Insert the supply IN conductors as well as the load OUT conductors.
---|---|---
STEP 3:| | Fit the supplied cable clamps and ensure the cable is unable to move.
STEP 4:| | Replace the cover and replace the screws.

Initial Checks

• When power is initially connected to the module, the load should power up to full brightness.
• The clear button can be used as a manual on/off switch to test the circuit.
• The internal LED behind the clear button will flicker when the module receives ANY Rako wireless message and is a useful diagnostic indicator. This function becomes inactive after 20 minutes to avoid a nuisance light spill but can be re-activated by pressing the clear button.
• Should the module not respond to any of the above, further investigation must be made before proceeding any further.

Programming the RML-1200

• Once the RML-1200 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 RML-1200, see the Wireless Module Setup Guide.
