Installing one of the optionally available extension modules in the extension slot on the rear panel lets you expand the power
amp’s functional range. As an example, the following paragraphs describe the RCM-810 Remote Control Module. Please
read and follow the instructions provided in the documentation that you have received together with each extension module.
4.1 RCM-810
System Description and Features
The RCM-810 Remote Control Module is a digital controller module for live sound reinforcement, PA and fixed installation
applications. Installing the RCM-810 turns a conventional amp into a remote amplifier, which, at any time, provides complete
overview of the overall system status and control of all system parameters.
RCM-810 modules allow the integration of amplifiers into a remote control network with up to 250 units. This offers the
possibility to control and monitor an entire PA system from one or more PCs using the IRIS-Net - Intelligent Remote &
Integrated Supervision - software package. All operational states, e.g. power-on status, temperature, activation of protections,
load impedance, etc., are centrally registered and displayed in IRIS-Net. This provides the possibility to react and to
selectively intervene even before critical operational states arise. Programming an automatic reaction, when specific
thresholds are being exceeded or fallen below, is also possible.
All parameters, like power on/off, muting, etc. can be
controlled in real-time and stored in the amplifier. In the
event of network failure or loss of power, all settings stay
intact, independent of the control by the network.
Furthermore, the RCM-810 provides a control port with
freely programmable control inputs and control outputs.
Control inputs (GPI's) allow the connection of switches.
IRIS-Net offers the possibility to program a variety of logic
functions for the inputs. Control outputs (GPO's) allow the
connection of external components, which, for example, are
used to signal specific states to peripheral equipment.
Consequently, an amplifier with a RCM-810 module
installed corresponds to highest safety requirements. For
further details about configuration, control and monitoring of
amps with installed RCM-810 modules, please refer to the
documentation of the IRIS-Net. The latest version of IRIS-Net is available at www.electrovoice.com.
Controls and Connections
1 ADDRESS Selector Switch
The two address selector switches are for setting the network address of the RCM-810. CAN networks
support addresses in the range of 01 to 250 (FA hex). Addressing has to be carried out in the hexadecimal
number system. The LOW selector switch sets the lower digit, while HIGH sets the higher digit.

CAUTION:
Each address may exist only once in a system. Otherwise, network conflicts may arise.
