RAMPI Instruction Manual
The Rako RAMPI is a programming device for either wireless systems (replacing
the obsolete RAUSB) via RF or Rako NFC (Near Field Communication) devices
such as the RNC wallplates or RCI-4L and RCI-7M interfaces. The RAMPI
incorporates RF receive and transmit functions as well as Bi-Directional NFC
communication.
Note: This product requires RASOFT Pro software to operate. Download the
software from

Wireless Programming
When used as a wireless programmer the RAMPI plugs into a USB port and allows
programming of a Rako wireless system, either individual modules or RAK4s
controlled by an RxLink. To program a system plug the RAMPI into a USB port,
Rasoft Pro will recognise the device and allow programming. The RAMPI has
internal blue and red LEDs below the set-up button. The blue LED flashes when
the RAMPI is transmitting wireless messages and the red LED flashes when
receiving Rako wireless messages. For more information on programming a
wireless system using Rasoft Pro see the programming guides 'Wireless module
set-up guide' or 'Wireless RAK system set-up guide' from
NFC Programming of RNC or RCI Modules
The following assumes that the user is already programming a system using Rasoft
Pro, if this is not already the case follow the guide 'Rasoft Pro-Wireless module
set-up guide' downloadable from www.rakocontrols.com/support.
Hold the RAMPI against (or near to) the NFC device as shown below.
When the device is correctly positioned a green LED will flash in the RAMPI and a
window will pop-up in Rasoft Pro prompting the device to be named and
associated to a Room. Having done this go to the Device editor page select the
inputs as necessary and assign the associated actions. This will be a single action
such as selecting a scene. If a macro function is desired then select the Macro
radio button and a drop down menu of actions will appear (the actual macro steps
are defined under the Macro tab). Having input the required actions click on the
Data Transfer tab and click Upload to device. Rasoft will issue a prompt to hold
the RAMPI against (or near) the NFC device. When transferring data a progress
bar will appear in Rasoft Pro and a solid green LED will appear on the RAMPI.
