INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
The RNP-21 transmitter is designed for installation in mounting boxes. The enclosure dimensions
enable installation both in flush (min. Ø60) and surface mounting boxes. For flush mounting installa-
tion, it is recommended to use deep or pocket boxes.
The device shall be connected to a 1-phase system in accordance with applicable standards. The
activities related to the installation, connection and adjustment should be performed by qualified
electricians, familiar with the user manual and functions of the device. For safety purposes, do not
install the device without an enclosure or with a damaged enclosure, because it causes an electric
shock hazard.
For installation, use a Philips screwdriver with a diameter of up to 3.5 mm.
1. Disconnect the supply circuit with a fuse, an overcurrent circuit breaker or an isolator connected
to the corresponding circuit.
2. Check the voltage-free status of the power cords with a suitable tool.
3. Connect the wires to the terminals according to the connection diagram. You can use up to four
transmitter inputs (from IN1 to IN4).
4. Install the RN P-21 device in the mounting box.
5. Turn on the supply circuit and check for proper operation (when inputs are triggered, the STA-
TUS LED should be lit for a short time).
1. If possible, maintain a minimum distance between transmitters during the installation. In particu-
lar, avoid installing one transmitter above another. In some situations, this could cause range
loss and transmission errors.
2. During installation, make sure that the transmitter is not exposed to direct water impact or opera-
tion in a high humidity environment. The temperature at the installation site should be from -10 to
+55°C.
3. The RNP-21 transmitter is designed for indoor installation. In the case of outdoor installation,
place the transmitter in an additional sealing box and efficiently seal the connection against
water penetration.
4. Connect the control connectors to inputs IN1 to IN4 of the RNP-21 transmitter. Typically, the
inputs are designed to work with monostable connectors. The design of the inputs does not
exclude using bistable connectors. In this case, it is best to program the inputs with a receiver
in monostable mode (the receiver is activated as long as phase voltage is applied to the given
input).
5. After installing the transmitter, test it for proper operation. To obtain the desired function of the
given input, it must first be programmed with the receiver (see the user manual of the selected
receiver). To work with the controller, the transmitter must be properly paired with the controller
(see Transmitter registration in the EXTA LIFE system).
STANDARD FUNCTIONALITY (WITHOUT CONTROLLER)
● enables wireless operation of EXTA LIFE system receivers,
● the function of each transmitter input depends on the type of receiver it has been paired with
(for example: if paired to an ROP-22 receiver, the inputs can be used to turn lights on and off; if
paired to an SRP-22 controller, the buttons can open and close roller shutters),
● each input can be assigned to multiple EXTA LIFE system receivers,
● if one input is to control more than one receiver of the system, then the recommended mode of
operation is “on/off” mode (for example: input IN1 turns on receivers and input IN2 turns them off
or the other way round),
● you can assign the transmitter inputs to receivers with different operating modes, the range of
which depends on the receiver type (for details see the applicable EXTA LIFE receiver user
manuals),
● If transmitter inputs are assigned to a receiver in time mode, each button can be assigned a
custom time value from 1 s to 18 hours,
● you can delete specific input assignments from the receiver memory.
CAUTION: In the RNP-21 transmitter, inputs are not blocked. If the given input is triggered
continuously, then other inputs can be controlled according to the transmitter specification.
FUNCTIONAL COMPATIBILITY WITH EXTA LIFE CONTROLLER AND APP
With the EFC-01 controller and app, you can:
● remotely (without access to the receiver) bind specific transmitter inputs to the selected EXTA
LIFE system receiver(s),
● use transmitter inputs for playing scenes,
● use transmitter inputs as a condition to execute a logical function.
These functions are enabled only on a transmitter paired with a controller.
OPERATION
Upon a short press of a button connected to a given input, the transmitter sends an RF command to
the EXTA LIFE system components. It is indicated with the green LED flashing on the transmitter.
To respond properly to the signal from the given transmitter input, the transmitter must first be paired
with it. See the applicable EXTA LIFE receiver user manuals for pairing instructions (programming
specific inputs in the receiver memory). The transmitter will only transmit when a button connected
to the given input is pressed and then released. No RF signal is transmitted as long as a button is
held pressed.
The presented mode of operation translates to transmitter functionality with bistable connectors
connected to inputs IN1…IN4. For example, if the connector connected to input IN1 is to work with
a receiver in “bistable” mode, the connector must be closed to activate the receiver. However, to
re-activate the receiver (if it has been turned off, for example with a remote control), first open and
close the connector again.
