PROGRAMMING THE XP-8v 

The XP-8v must be programmed to operate. All programming is done using RTI’s 

Integration Designer

®

 software and is downloaded using the USB 

Programming Port located on front of XP-8v or via Ethernet. 

UPDATING FIRMWARE

It is highly recommended that this and all RTI products have the latest firmware installed. The firmware can be found in the Dealer section of the RTI 

website (www.rticorp.com). Install the firmware using the USB Programming Port located on the front of XP-8v.

MPIO PORTS - Control via Infrared, Sensing and RS-232 (One-way)

Each IR output can drive up to 

four emitters directly. More than 

four emitters require an amplified 

connecting block.

IR Connecting Block

The XP-8v is capable of two-way control using RS-232 communication via eight RJ-45 

output ports using standard Cat-5 cable with RJ-45 termination (568B). The XP-8v ships 

with eight RJ-45 (female) to DB-9 (male) adapters. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: RS-232 communication cabling should be limited to 50 feet (16m)

depending on baud rate.

SENSE INPUTS / RELAY-TRIGGER OUTPUTS

Sense inputs and relay-trigger modes are configured within 

Integration 

Designer

®

.

Doorbell

Receiver

SENSE INPUT

Upon sensing contact closure or a voltage (2-24VDC), events can be 

automatically triggered such as a macro or command.

    

   Sense contact closure: Connect conductors from the source device 

to each side of a sense input (A and B).

    

    Sense voltage trigger: Connect positive lead from voltage source to 

Side A of sense input and ground lead to Side B.

 

RELAYS/TRIGGER OUTPUTS

Relays may be configured as a dry contact closure or a voltage trigger 

output (12VDC @100mA). All relays are Normally Open when not 

energized, and may be programmed to behave Normally Closed (as long 

as power is applied to

 

the XP-8v).

    

   Contact closure: Connect the A and B contact terminals of a relay 

to the device. 

    

   Voltage trigger: Connect contact A to the positive lead and connect 

Contact B to the ground lead of the device.

INFRARED EMITTERS

The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8v are compatible with industry 

standard infrared emitters and infrared repeating systems. Each output port is 

capable of driving up to four infrared emitters directly. The use of more than 

four infrared emitters requires the addition of an amplified connecting block. A 

connecting block can be wired up to 1000 feet away from the XP-8v using #22 

AWG (minimum) wire. 

INFRARED OUTPUT GAIN ADJUSTMENT

The IR output gain can be separately adjusted for each of the eight output 

ports. The XP-8v is shipped with the IR gain set to the optimum level for most 

equipment, and it should only need to be adjusted if the attached equipment is 

not responding reliably. If adjustment is needed, rotate the IR output controls 

on the front of the XP-8v clockwise for higher output power, or counter-

clockwise for lower output power.
NOTE:  The IR output feedback LEDs located on the front of the XP-8v will 

illuminate when any IR code is delivered out of a port. This includes IR codes 

“passing through” from another source, such as an IR receiver.

VPS-1 SENSOR MODULE

The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8v are compatible with RTI power 

sensing modules (e.g. VPS-1). Follow the guide included with the modules 

for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the 

Integration 

Designer

®

 software for programming details.

RS-232 COMMUNICATION MODULES (CM-232)

The multi-purpose I/O ports on the XP-8v are compatible with RTI RS-232 

communication modules (e.g. CM-232). Follow the guide included with 

the modules for installation instructions, and follow the instructions in the 

Integration Designer

®

 software for programming details.
