Consumer Information
Danger
This RadioRA
®
system must not be used to control equipment, other than lighting, which is not visible from every mas-
ter or local control location. It also must not be used to control equipment which could create hazardous situations
such as entrapment if operated accidentally. Examples of equipment which must not be controlled by this
RadioRA
system include (but are not limited to) motorized gates, garage doors, industrial doors, and microwave ovens, heating
pads, etc. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that the equipment, other than lighting, being controlled is visible
from every master or local control location and that only suitable equipment is connected to this
RadioRA
system.
Using the Chronos

Interfaces shipped prior to January 1, 2001, the Legacy setting for fade
times must be used. Raise/Lower functions from Master Controls and the Level Capture feature are also not supported by
these devices shipped prior to January 1, 2001.
Using the Chronos System Bridge with Older RadioRA Master Controls and Interfaces
The
Chronos
System Bridge Whole-home scenes will not work with Master Controls shipped prior to January 1, 2001. The
buttons on these Master Controls do not send programming necessary to activate the
Chronos
System Bridge scenes. Also,
this feature was not supported in RA-RS232 and RA-IR Interfaces shipped prior to September 1, 2001. For this reason,
these older devices cannot be used to activate Whole-home scenes.
Using the RA-SCI Switch Closure Interface
The Switch Closure Interface cannot be used to activate Whole-home scenes. The security mode inputs on the Switch
Closure Interface will not work across systems. If a security system is connected to the RA-SCI security inputs, it should be
moved to the security input on the
Chronos
System Bridge. Refer to Section 6 for instructions on setting up the
Chronos
System Bridge contact closure inputs.
Using the RAMC-MFE-WH Security Mode Inputs
The security mode input on the RAMC-MFE-WH will not work across systems. If a security system is connected to the
RAMC-MFE-WH security input, it should be moved to the security input on the
Chronos
System Bridge. Refer to Section 6
for instructions on setting up the
Chronos
System Bridge contact closure inputs.
Using Security mode from a RA-RS232 Interface
Security mode activated from an RA-RS232 Interface will not work across systems. If a third-party system is connected to an
existing RA-RS232 Interface, it should be moved to the RS-232 port on the
Chronos
System Bridge. Refer to Section 5 for
instructions on setting up the
Chronos
System Bridge RS-232 port.
