It’s Under Control
®
thank you for using the XP-8 Advanced Control Processor.
The XP-8 is a high-end remote control processor for automating the
operation of electronic systems in homes and office buildings. These
systems include home theaters, lighting, HVAC and many other
applications.
The combination of a blazing fast MPU, real-time/multitasking operating
system, and tremendous expandability make the XP-8 the perfect solution
for large scale and complex projects.
Like other RTI processors, the XP-8 has been designed to interface
seamlessly with all RTI remote controls and touchpanels. In addition to an
abundance of basic control ports such as infrared, contact closures, and
power sensors – the XP-8 provides advanced control interface options such
as two-way RS-232, USB, and Ethernet. An internet connection to the XP-8
allows convenient services such as updating system files and monitoring.
The XP-8 requires the Integration Designer™ programming software.
Before using the XP-8, please read and follow all of the instructions in this
guide.
