Rako RAK8-MB
8 CHANNEL MOTHERBOARD FOR MULTIPLE PLUG IN MODULES
WHAT IS IT?
An eight slot motherboard which
forms the base of a RAK8
dimmer array. Designed to be
wall mounted in an electrical
cupboard.
Any combination of pluggable
modules can be fitted into the 8
slot motherboard allowing for
greater flexibility during both
specification and installation.
The RAK8 requires a separate
controller/receiver which
connects using standard CAT5
RJ45 sockets.
Controlled from any Rako Rakom
RF or WIRED device, for
example the RCM or WCM
push button wall plates.
RAK8 dimmer arrays can be used as either a single 8 channel array or
joined together to form a multi-way stack.
The RAK8 requires a separate Rako interface for control. Either the RF
receiver (RxLink) or the WIRED controller (RAKLink), these units
communicate using a single CAT5 RJ45 patch lead.
When used with the wireless receiver (RX-Link) up to 16 channels can be
used per stack. When used with a wired system (RAKLink) up to 32
channels per stack are available.
It is possible to mix and match RAK4s and RAK8s on the same multi-way
stack. The same maximum number of channels per stack applies.
All memory is stored on the motherboard rather than the pluggable
module meaning they can be swapped without the need to be reprogrammed.
The RAK8 units are designed to be centrally located in an electrical
cupboard, utility room or garage.
The RAK8 dimmer can be used seamlessly with any other Rako modules,
such as RML and RMT in-line dimmers, RCM or WCM wallplates, RAH
hand helds, timeclocks etc.
Each RAK8 box needs to be fed by a 10A Type B MCB.
