Rako RDA800 Installation, Programming and Operating Instructions

1. 226666 Initial Addressing of a Rako Receiver Module In the following procedure both the controllers wallpanels and hand held remotes and the receivers have an automatic time out after approximately 3 minutes when in programming or set up mode This feature avoids the possibility of either being left permanently in programming or set up mode This may cause confusion if either the controller or receiver times out before the procedure is complete It is worth becoming familiar with the procedures before starting the addressing procedure If at any time it is necessary to start again the controllers can be returned to normal mode by pressing the Off button and the receivers by resetting the electrical supply Step 2 TIP Put controller into Press the programming mode by pressing and holding a scene button and both me raise and lower buttons together After 5 seconds the LED on the panel starts to flash The panel is now in programming mode Release the buttons Step 1 Set address switches on controller scene button first Pick a House address from 1 255 keep same address for all panels in house Select Room addresses from 1 255 for each room Room 0 is master house control NO TABLE 1 Step up one channel and ident Step down one channel and ident ethe YES controller still in programming Exit programming mode LED flashing Note A Rako panel will always enter programming mode at Channel 0 It is n
2. 3 overleaf This number is then sent along with the House and Room address to a receiver Step 5 Notes on address switches The address numbers are set using the switches on the back of a Rako transmitter Binary coding is used and a diagrammatic explanation is given in Fig 1 It is not however necessary to understand binary just set the House switches to a different setting than the factory default and use a different combination of Room switch settings for each room or area to be controlled separately Notes on Addressing A dimmer will not receive an address of House O All switches set to off A dimmer will respond to but not receive an address of Room O All switches set to off This Room O address is used for Master House control A dimmer cannot be set to channel O To program a lighting scene see Wall panel or Hand held manual Power Up Mode With the factory address setting of House 1 an RDA800 will turn ON when power is applied When the House address is changed the Power Up mode becomes OFF which is generally preferred for instance if there is a power cut during a holiday Manual Operation The clear button can be used as a manual On Off switch Fade Rate An RDA800 module has a default fade rate of zero making its response immediate It maybe preferable to have a delayed OFF rate when being used in conjunction with dimming modules The OFF fade rate can be changed by using RASOFT programming softw
3. General Rako RDA800 modules are dimmer units designed for use with controllable fluorescent ballasts and LED drivers or any other suitable devices with control inputs for O 10V DALI or DSI RDA800 modules also have an internal relay that switches the mains supply to the fitting RDA800 modules can be controlled by any Rako device that transmits wireless RAKOM messages Before commencing installation of a Rako module please read this instruction manual carefully Rako Controls Ltd accepts no responsibility for damage or injury caused by incorrect installation of a Rako product Installation should only be carried out by a competent electrician Never attempt to connect a Rako module or remove the terminal cover without first isolating the circuit at the fuse MCB board The circuit supplying a Rako module should always be protected by either a 5A fuse or 6A MCB Mounting Rako 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 Wherever possible the mounting bracket should be used Modules should be mounted vertically with the terminals at the bottom or horizontally with the ventilation slots at the top Whilst Rako modules are designed to be completely maintenance free the units should be mounted in an accessible location should there be a fault or re addressing of the unit be necessary see Set up and Addressing
4. Loadings Do not exceed the lesser of the two following values Relay output Max 800VA Control output Max 25 devices Rako RDA800 Installation Programming and Operating Instructions Connections Connect the RDA800 module according to the wiring diagram overleaf Note that the control end of the module has three sets of header pins and one connecting link The connecting link is used to select the appropriate control output for the load either O 10V DALI or DSI and is set on 0 10V as default Do not use loop In Out connections within the module A junction box should be used if required Ensure the cable clamp bar securely clamps the cables and that the terminal cover is fitted before switching the supply on Initial Checks When power is initially connected to the module the unit should switch the load ON The load can then be manually switched using the clear button on top of the module The factory set address for both modules and transmitters is House 1 Room 4 See Fig 1 for further information A Rako wireless wallpanel set as address House 1 Room 4 will control and dim the module Should the module not respond as above then further investigation should be made before proceeding further BINARY VALUE EXAMPLE PER SWITCH ROOM NUMBER 37 128 CHo 64 E gt 32 Fo u O 16 o8 5 5 8 HO O O 4 eo T oc cc 2 Ea 1 2i HOUSE 1 ROOM 4 SWITCH VALUES FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS 1 4 32 37 Fig 1 Set Up
5. and Addressing RDA800 modules can be programmed manually or by using RASOFT programming software For software programming refer to the appropriate programming guide supplied as a PDF with the programming interface RA or RIC Bridge etc or download from our website www rakocontrols com Manual Addressing from Wallplate or Handheld Before any lighting scenes can be programmed see the wall panel or hand held manual the RDA800 module needs to be addressed To avoid interference between neighbouring installations chose a House address other than the factory default of House 1 and set this on the transmitters using the House address switches Keep the House address the same throughout the project for master functions Chose a Room address for each separate room or area to be controlled independently and set this on the appropriate transmitters using the Room address switches Note Any control panels set with the same address will act as two or multi way controls for the same Room The module now needs to be sent its new House and Room address from the appropriate keypad For rooms with multiple modules each module needs to be also assigned a separate Channel number from 1 15 within each Room The House and Room addresses are set using the switches on the back of a Rako transmitter see Fig 1 and the Channel addresses are selected by putting a transmitter in programming mode and stepping through the channel numbers see Step

7. l normally Blue Earth normally Green Yellow If some receivers are already addressed to a the wall panel then they will flash their connected lamps as their channel number is reached during the stepping procedure this allows the user to identify which channel numbers are already taken To add a new receiver to an existing installation step up through the channels until a channel number is reached where no receiver flashes a load this is then an available channel If at any point there is uncertainty as to whether a receiver actually flashed its load then button 3 will flash the load but without stepping up or down a channel If all of the loads flash then this indicates that the current address is Channel O Note If it is not possible to see the connected lamps flashing when stepping through the channels it is possible to tell from the LEDs in the receivers which will momentarily go solid when their channel address is reached Is there another receiver in NO the room to be addressed Press button 3 Step 5 Step 6 to send the ident of the channel selected in step 3 Receiver automatically returns to normal mode blue LED goes out while controller remains in programming mode red LED keeps flashing Press Off button to exit controller from programming mode
