FAQ:

• Q: What should I do if I experience bad wireless reception with the RMT-500?
  A: If you are experiencing bad wireless reception, where there are intermittent pulses on the LED when any wireless message is sent, it is recommended to install a wireless repeater (WRB-100) to improve the wireless range.

For more information relating to the RMT-500 see the Wireless Module Application Sheet, Wireless RAK Application Sheet, and Wireless Device LED Diagnostics.
For programming a wireless system, include the device in this manual: Wireless Module Programming Guide.

What is the RMT500

• The RMT-500 is a wireless trailing edge dimming module designed for mains dimmable LEDs as well as tungsten and incandescent lamps.

• The RMT-500 can be controlled by any Rako device that transmits wireless messages.

Loadings

NB
Derating is a precaution to account for varying characteristics in the lighting loads; this can i nclude inrush currents and higher ambient temperatures, as well as recommendations from 3rd party lighting manufacturers.

Installation

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

• RMT500 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.
• Modules should be mounted vertically, with the terminals at the bottom, or horizontally.
• 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.
• Ensure that the cable clamp is fitted tightly to secure the cables.

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. The LED feedback becomes inactive after 20 minutes to avoid a nuisance light spill but can be re-activated by pressing the clear button.

Programming the RMT-500
Once the RMT-500 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-500, see the Wireless Module Setup Guide.
