Chapter 1. Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the U1 waterproof wireless controller.
The U1 Remote Control provides a rugged interface option for
communicating with RTI remote control processors.
The U1 was designed for reliable wireless control of audio/video
systems from environments which are too harsh for normal
remote controls. It is completely sealed, making it both waterproof
and floating. Whether indoors or out, the U1 is a perfect
companion for hot tubs, pools, bathrooms, and decks.
Programming is easy and convenient thanks to the Windows®
based TheaterTouch Designer
™
software. Because RTI’s remote
control products are sold only through professional
installers/programmers, and never directly to consumers, it is our
philosophy to not incorporate programming capability directly
into our products. Instead, we are committed to providing our
dealers with the hardware and software tools that allow them to
create re-usable programming databases and templates in the
most efficient and reliable way possible.
The U1 is capable of radio frequency output only. The RM-433
receivers (purchased separately) allow transmission through walls
and cabinets. The RF receivers connect to an RTI control system
for the ultimate in control reliability and flexibility. RTI control
systems provide many advanced features such as IR routing, local
macro execution, power sensing, and RS-232 control.
WATERPROOF NOTE
The U1 is designed to withstand temporary exposure to water
only. Prolonged exposure of more than 30 minutes may result in
the U1 malfunctioning. Although it is safe to use in showers, hot
tubs, and pools,
DO NOT ALLOW THE U1 TO REMAINING
FLOATING IN WATER FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
A convenient mounting holster is provided for storage when the
U1 is not in use.
