PROGRAMMING WITH RCP 

 
Read the section of the MLTX2 manual regarding additional operational features to familiarize yourself 
with the features listed below. The MLTX2 transmitter can be programmed using the optional RCP (Radio 
Control Programmer) software through the programming adapter (inside a HAZLOC area) or directly to 
the transmitters USB connection outside of the HAZLOC area.   
 
Magnetek RCP software makes the programming of the MLTX2 transmitter easier and allows the 
programmer to store all of the MLTX2 settings in files for later use or reference. The RCP software also 
allows the programmer to customize the MLTX2 transmitter display with language descriptions that are 
project or machine-specific. Help is provided for each function at the bottom of the RCP screen. The RCP 
software allows you to select frequency, access code, transmitter power, as well as CAN configuration. 
Follow the steps below: 
 

Install the RCP Software 

 
Install the RCP software onto your computer. The software is self-installing; simply insert the jump drive 
into any available USB port and follow the onscreen prompts. Refer to the installation instruction sheet for 
help. You will be prompted to enter an activation code. The code can be found on the jump drive’s outer 
case and on the installation instructions. The software cannot be used without this code.  
 

Run the RCP Software 

 
After installation of the RCP Software, double-click the RCP icon to launch the program. 
 

 

 

Click on New Project or Open Project 

 
Select “New Project” if you are creating a new program file. Select “Open Project” if you want to retrieve 
an existing program file. 

A list of recent projects will appear under “Open Project.”  Clicking on one of 

these will open that project. It is recommended that you create a folder in which to save all programming 
files.
