My RTI dealer delivered two T2+ remotes, an RP-6, and an RM-433 yesterday
I am extremely impressed: worth the wait for sure
T2+: slim, light, excellent balance and feel: hard button tactile feel is much better than original T2. The T2+ display has the same whine noise as the T2: perhaps a tad louder. You have to remove the back panel for access to the battery and its connector; and the download connector (looks like a digital camera cable connector). With the back cover off, you can still operate the remote/ charge it but the whine is twice as loud. You must remove the download cable before the remote will operate
Charging cradle: Nice design with a blue LED that lights when charging: the light is way too bright and lights up the room: a problem for a darkened HT room. The battery charges in 3-4 hours according to the manual
RP-6 This functions similar to the old IRF-6 but has:
- 3 sets of programmable relay contacts on a terminal block - does NOT have RF capability: you need the RM-433 which connects to the RP-6 - status LED's for each output along with Bi-color main status and power LED's - High output IR connection for IR block - an RS-485 expansion port! - IR output level controls for each of six assignable outputs - USB Programming Port - included are 6 short IR emitter adapter cables
RM-433
This is the RF receiver module that is connected to and powered by the RP-6: up to 10 RM-433's can be connected: it comes with a removeable antenna and has a status LED
IR Pro:
My dealer showed me the IR Pro which is a little box with an IR eye and a USB port: good thing he brought it because the download cables are packed with it
I loaded my T2 program into the v2.0 software and downloaded the program into the T2+ and the RP-6 (you have to do both as separate operations) and the T2+ systems worked on the first try: there are many program changes needed because of the differences with the T2+ but if you are replacing a T2 it is easy to get up and running
More later: so far I am very pleased: I have several T2's and an MX3000 for sale!
