SR 2 Smart Remote
General Description
The Rane SR 2 Smart Remote is a generic, wired, RS-485 remote control with a 31-position LED indicator, data encoder with built in push switch. SR Configurator software (included) sets up the SR 2 device. Due to the built-in push switch, the SR 2 can be used to control two parameters: Level and Second Level. The encoder can be locked out by grounding the Encoder Lock terminal and enabling Auto Lock in Drag Net software.
The SR 2 may be used in systems with SR 3 or SR 4 remotes where a display is not required.
The SR 2 can be configured to automatically handle the data encoder and lockout functions, or these can be handled manually by a host controller via Rane RW 485 protocol.
The SR 2 is electrically compatible with standard RS-485 interfaces plus power, thus requiring only a CAT 5 cable with two twisted pairs. A chassis terminal is provided for shielded termination when shielded CAT 5 cable is used.
The SR 2 mounts in a standard U.S. electrical box with a minimum depth of 2¼ inches, and can be flush covered with a standard Decora plate cover. Since Decora plates come in different colors, each SR 2 ships with four, different inserts that install behind the lens. Colors included are white (w/ black logo), white (w/ almond logo), almond (w/ black logo) and black (w/ white logo) which accommodate most applications. If the architect or interior decorator requires a custom color, a template is available allowing a custom insert to be made (out of the wall paper if need be) and cut to the proper size.
