Using multiple RP-6 central processors in a system

In the event that an installation’s control requirements exceed the capabilities of a single RP-6 central

processor (ex: controlling ten identical satellite receivers exceeds the infrared routing capability of a single

RP-6 processor), the use of multiple RP-6 processors within a system can inﬁnitely expand the control

options of RTI products. TheaterTouch Designer Programming software allows for the ability to include up

to 256 devices (central processors, in-wall, or handheld controllers). Thus, you could theoretically have a

single remote or in-wall product communicate with up to 255 central processors. In order to do this, you

will need to ensure that the trigger code sent from the handheld or in-wall product is received by each

processor. While each processor connected would receive each trigger code, only the desired processor(s)

will execute the command, based on matching the trigger code sent from the handheld or in-wall product,

with the associated commands stored in each processor. Below are some examples of methods to transfer

trigger codes between multiple RP-6 central processors.

Connect signal in and ground between

processors to transfer trigger code.

Connect +12VDC, ground, and

signal to RM-433 antenna(s)

*Note that while this example illustrates a trigger code originating from an RM-433 RF antenna, you could

also use this conﬁguration to transfer trigger codes sent from an RTI in-wall product or IR receiver.
