OPERATION
RNM-24 TRANSMITTER REGISTRATION (PAIRING)
A short press of the button connected to the given transmitter’s input results in the transmitter sending an
RF command to the EXTA LIFE system components. It is indicated with the green LED flashing on the
transmitter. Input function is indicated by the activation of the red LED assigned to this input. To interpret
properly the signal from the given transmitter input, the transmitter must first be paired with it. See the ap-
plicable EXTA LIFE receiver user manuals for pairing instructions (programming specific receiver 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 down. 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 the “bistable” mode,
the connector must be closed to activate the receiver. However, to re-activate the receiver, first open and
then close the connector again.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
1. During the installation make sure that the transmitter is not exposed to direct water impact or operation
in increased humidity environment. The temperature at the installation site should be from -10 to +55°C.
2. The RNM-24 transmitter is designed for indoor installation. In case of outdoor installation, place the
transmitter in a sealed switchgear and efficiently seal the connection against water penetration.
3. Connect control connectors to inputs IN1 to IN4 of the RNM-24 transmitter. Typically, inputs are de-
signed to work with monostable connectors. The design of inputs does not exclude using bistable con-
nectors. Due to the input operation method, it is best to program inputs with a receiver in the monostable
mode (the receiver is activated as long as the given input is triggered). The transmitter is not designed
for use with lighted switches.
4. After switching on the power supply the green LED blinks for approx. 5 s. After that period, the LED
turns off and the device is ready to use. The activation of an input is indicated is by the activation of the
relevant red LED IN1 - IN4.
5. To use the specific functionality with EXTA LIFE receiver(s), pair applicable transmitter inputs with the
selected elements of the system. The pairing procedure is described in detail in the operating instruc-
tions of the selected receiver. When working with the controller, the transmitter must be properly paired
with the controller (see Transmitter registration in the EXTA LIFE system).
OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
Standard functionality (without EXTA LIFE 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 (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 transmitter input (channel) 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 opera-
tion is the “on/off” mode (example: a button wired to input “IN1” turns on power supply and another
button wired to input “IN2” turns power 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 the time mode, each button can be assigned with a
custom time value from 1 s to 18 hours;
- you can delete specific transmitter input assignments from the receiver memory.
CAUTION: In the RNM-24 inputs are not blocked. If the given input is triggered continuously, then
other inputs can be controlled in the normal way.
Functional compatibility with EXTA LIFE controller and app
Functionalities enabled with the EXTA LIFE controller and app:
- remotely (without access to the receiver) bind specific transmitter inputs to the selected EXTA LIFE
system receiver(s):
- assign transmitter inputs to certain scenes to playback them,
- assign transmitter inputs as a condition to execute a logical function.
These functions are enabled only on a transmitter paired with a controller.
You need to register the transmitter in the EXTA LIFE system to:
- remotely bind transmitter inputs to specific EXTA LIFE receiv-
ers (without physical access to the receivers);
- bind specific input to playback scene(s);
- use a button connected to a transmitter input as a condition to
execute a logical function.
To register the transmitter in the system it is necessary to
connect an EXTA LIFE controller and install EXTA LIFE mobile
app. The transmitters are saved as registered in the EXTA LIFE
system only if they have been successfully paired with the EXTA LIFE
controller. Procedure:
1. Launch the EXTA LIFE mobile app and open the DEVICES screen.
2. Select the TRANSMITTERS tab and press the “+” button
to start discovering the remote controls. The discovery takes up to 60 s. You can terminate it earlier
by pressing Stop. To find the transmitter, trigger any of its inputs during the discovery. If the transmitter is within the range of the EXTA LIFE controller, it will
appear on the on-screen list with its default icon and name, which is the transmitter model (RNM-24) + it’s six-digit ID
. You do not need to stop the discovery
to register more than one transmitter.
3. Once the discovery has been completed or stopped manually, check the selection boxes next to the discovered transmitters on the list to choose those you want
to pair with the EXTA LIFE controller
. You can check more than one transmitter with the selection boxes. You can use the pop-up menu to modify transmitter’s
name before pairing.
4. Press PAIR to pair the selected transmitters. The selected transmitters will be paired with the EXTA LIFE system after a short moment and appear in the
TRANSMITTERS tab
.
5. A default icon is assigned to each paired transmitter.
6. You can pair one transmitter at a time; once PAIR has been pressed, you can assign a new name to the transmitter. When pairing more than one transmitter at
the same time, they will be saved under their default names.
7. You can also modify the default names of the RNM-24 transmitters once they have been paired.
8. Only when paired can the transmitter be used to set up the EXTA LIFE system configuration (remote assignment of receivers, scenes or logical functions).
INSTALLATION
An RNM-24 transmitter is designed for installing
in switch cabinets using a TH35 bar. The receiv-
er’s body takes up two modules. It is required to
connect an antenna for correct operation. If you
need to install the antenna outside the switch
cabinet (applies mainly to metal switchboards),
you can use external antenna ANT-01 with a 3
m cable. The antenna has an SMA type con-
nection.
1. Disconnect the supply circuit with a fuse, an
overcurrent circuit breaker or an isolator con-
nected to the corresponding circuit.
2. Check the voltage-free status of the power
cords with a suitable instrument.
3. Connect the wires to the terminals according
to the connection diagram. You can use up
to four transmitter inputs (from IN1 to IN4).
During installation, it is important to “flip” volt-
ages L and N to additional terminals L’ and
N’ (required for the correct operation of the
actuation system).
4. Install the device on a TH bar in the switch-
gear.
5. Turn on the supply circuit and check for prop-
er operation (when an input is triggered, the
red LED assigned to that input light up for a
short time).
