LOW BATTERY INDICATION SIGNALLING
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
During normal operation, low battery is indicated by the STA-
TUS LED flashing quickly several times when a button is
pressed and released to transmit. If the transmitter has been
paired with an EXTA LIFE controller, low battery status is also
indicated by the EXTA LIFE mobile app with the Battery: Low
message (see figure). The transmitter will indicate that the bat-
tery has to be replaced until the battery voltage drops to < 2.1
V. The low battery indication stops only when the battery has
been replaced.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
1. Remove the two mounting screws of the lower cover of the
transmitter.
2. Remove the PCB.
3. Remove the battery from the terminal (for example: by using a flat screwdriver).
4. Press any button connected to transmitter inputs several times (this is to drain any residual volt-
age).
5. Install a new battery. Mind the polarity. The polarity is marked on the battery clip terminal (the +
pole).
CAUTION: Wrong battery polarity may damage the transmitter!
6. Reinsert the PCB into the enclosure and screw the lower cover back on.
7. Verify proper operation: the LED should be on, like when transmitting.
1. If possible, maintain a minimum distance between transmitters during installation. In particular,
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-22 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 control connectors to inputs IN1 to IN4 of the RNP-22 transmitter. Typically, the inputs
are designed to work with monostable connectors. However, 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 the given input is triggered).
5. After installing the transmitter, test it for proper operation. To obtain the target function, the
transmitter 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 the inputs have 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 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 “1” turns on the receiver and input “2” turns it off),
● you can assign the transmitter inputs to receivers with different operating modes, the range of
which depends on the receiver type (for details of the modes 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.
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 receiv-
ers,
● assign selected transmitter inputs to play scenes,
● assign selected transmitter inputs as a condition to execute a logical function,
● signal the transmitter battery level.
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. Information transmission is signalled by the green “Status”
LED blinking. To properly interpret 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 a given input is pressed and then released. No RF signal is transmitted as long
as a button is held pressed. RNP-22 transmitter inputs are not blocked. This means that if a given
input is triggered continuously, then the other inputs work according to the transmitter specification.
The presented mode of operation translates to transmitter functionality with traditional 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.
