Introduction

RI-2 provides a versatile interface between 

an iLight system and other control systems. 

This compact unit can be mounted virtually 

anywhere. It has eight inputs, which may be 

programmed to be either digital or analogue. 

The unit also has eight volt-free mains rated 

low power relays. These allow a wide range of 

external equipment to be controlled. All inputs 

and outputs are fully programmable as to their 

function. 

This interface allows the iLight iCANnet

TM

 

network to control other systems and other 

systems to communicate with the iCANnet

TM

 

network. RI-2 may be programmed to control 

curtains & blinds, screens, AV and other 

presentation equipment as well as controlling 

contactors for heavier power applications. With 

the control inputs set to analogue, any 0-10V 

source can be programmed to control system 

functions. The unit could also be programmed 

such that system sequences could be activated 

by a motion detector or other devices on 

the iCANnet

TM

 network. The adaptability and 

versatility of this product make it an essential 

item in larger, more sophisticated venues where 

more than just lighting control is required.
