The T1-B is the second generation of RTI’s popular T1 universal system controller. Completely customizable and programmable, the T1-B allows all other factory remote controls to be combined into one simple, ergonomic user interface providing powerful one-handed system control. Featuring a sleek new industrial design and perfect assortment of keypad buttons for commonly used functions, the T1-B can operate today’s sophisticated media system, no matter how complex, at an affordable price. Perfect for any media room, the T1-B can also be completely customized to control virtually any aspect of the home or office. Buttons can be individually programmed to control devices or execute multi-step macros for complex installations involving many components. Source buttons can be custom labeled to match the device being controlled for more intuitive control. The integrated tilt switch, coupled with a Lithiumion battery and charging dock insure hours of uninterupted control. When other RTI devices are employed, the T1-B is capable of RF transmission thru walls and cabinets, RS-232 control, contact closures, power sensing and much more. Whether used as a standalone device or integrated into a complete RTI control solution, the T1-B will provide powerful and intuitive control of any electronics system - from simple to sophisticated. COMPATIBILITY The T1-B and Integration Designer™ software are compatible with infrared (IR) commands with carrier frequencies between 15KhZ and 460KhZ, as well as those commands that do not use a carrier. This covers virtually all of the remotes that exist to date. UNPACKING AND INSPECTION After unpacking your new T1-B Universal System Controller, save all of the packing materials in case you ever have to ship the unit. Thoroughly inspect the T1-B and packing materials for signs of damage. Report any damage to the carrier immediately. Report any equipment malfunctions to Remote Technologies Incorporated or an authorized Remote Technologies Incorporated distributor.

Do not let the T1-B get wet. It should not be handled with wet hands or placed in an area where it could get wet. Do not subject the T1-B to smoke, dust, or vibrations. Only use the power supply that is provided with the T1-B. Using the wrong type of power supply may result in damage to the battery or electronic components. Do not disassemble the unit. Service of the T1-B should be performed by authorized personnel only. CLEANING To clean your T1-B, lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with a mild detergent, and wipe the keypad and outer surfaces. BATTERY AND DOCKING STATION The T1-B uses a Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. This battery does not exhibit any type of “Memory Effect” from being charged too often. Since the T1-B can safely be charged after each use, a docking station is included for convenience. If left out of the docking station, the T1-B will remain in sleep mode for 1 – 2 months before shutting down. At that point the battery must be recharged. If the T1-B battery capacity is reduced to approximately one hour of remaining run-time, the Status LED will illuminate red while the unit is powered-up. The T1-B Docking Station can be placed on a flat surface such as a shelf or table, or it can be mounted to a wall using the mounting holes on the back of the unit. The docking station LED illuminates to indicate a charge in progress. The LED will turn off when the battery in the unit is fully charged. A fully discharged battery will take approximately 2-4 hours to completely re-charge. The T1-B can remain in the docking station indefinitely without damage to the battery. 11 T1-B Universal System Controller Chapter 2 | INTRODUCTION IR Transmission Window Source (8) Keypad Buttons General Purpose (4) Keypad Buttons Predefined Keypad Buttons Backlight Button(?)

Make sure the connector is oriented properly before attempting to insert it. The T1-B is turned-on by touching any keypad button. If the tilt sensor is enabled, picking up the unit will also turn it on. THE SOURCE BUTTONS The eight source buttons at the top of the T1 keypad have a special function, so they behave differently from the other buttons. These buttons are used to select the active source “page.” Whenever asource button is selected, all of the other buttons on the keypad will switch to the programming associated with that page. In order to indicate the active page, a blue LED is always illuminated behind one of the source buttons. Despite their special function, the source buttons can be programmed to run commands or macros in the same way that the other buttons can. 15 T1-B 16 Universal System Controller It’s Under Control ® Chapter 4 Power Power Management Infrared Control Range Infrared Frequency Transmission Range Specifications 3.6 VDC, 1050mAh Lithium-Ion Battery Pack Automatic On/Off (tilt switch) 30 feet (9.1 meters) @ 60 degrees 15 kHz - 460 khz Radio Frequency Control Range Up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) with optional System Interfaces/Processors Radio Frequency Carrier 433 MHz Operating Temperature Operating Humidity Backlight Nominal Run Time on Full Charge Standby Time on Full Charge +32° F to +122° F (0° C to +50° C) 5% to 95% Non-condensing Blue EL 20 hours continuous use (20 to 30 days on average use) 30 days Battery Charge Time 3 to 4 hours Total System Memory 256K Flash (non-volatile) memory Device Capability Total number of devices is limited only by memory Macro Capability Up to 64 steps per macro Total number of macros is limited only by memory Macro capability on every button Communications USB programming port Dimensions (L x W x D) 9.3 in (235mm) x 2.5 in (64mm) x 1.1 in (28mm) Enclosure High-impact molded ABS plastic Weight 7 oz.

If you continue to have problems, see Chapter 6 for more information on contacting RTI technical support. USB COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS Make sure the battery pack connector is attached properly and the battery is charged. Verify that your PC is using Windows 2000® or higher. The TheaterTouch Designer software requires a USB device driver that may not be installed on earlier versions of Windows. Make sure you are using the programming cable that was supplied by RTI and that both ends are connected securely. Make sure the PC detects the presence of the T1. If it doesn’t, unplug the USB cable, wait for about ten seconds, and plug it in again. If the download fails after some data has been transferred, try resending the program. IR CODE PROBLEMS If you are using an IR repeater system, make sure it is working correctly with the original OEM remote. If not, you will need to troubleshoot the IR repeater system. If you are still having problems, try adjusting the IR code “Minimum Repeats” value in the Integration Designer™ programming software. If the IR code is executed inside a macro that contains multiple IR codes, try inserting a small time delay before the problem code. If there already is a delay, try increasing it. 19 T1-B 20 Universal System Controller It’s Under Control ® Chapter 6 Service and Support For news about the latest updates, new product information, and new accessories, please visit our web site at: www.rticorp.com CONTACTING RTI For general info, you can contact RTI at: Tel.
