Out of the box, the setting from the RP1 thru this block gives practically no output to the emitters. My flashing emitters were not showing anything until I tweaked the pot +++ a bit. Needless to say, the equipment was not responding.

I'd be inclined to just turn them all to max, but I actually burned out an emitter recently. This was with a Xantech 789-44, which has only 4 outputs. I needed 5, so I took the straight shot from the 4 terminal connector of the RP-1 to emitter #5. All worked well for about a week, and then the cable box quit responding (which had the straight shot emitter). Emitter died - I replaced and rewired from the plug in side, and used one twin emitter pair.

Assuming the straight output from the RP1 was too much current for the emitter, does turning the RTI tweak to max also eliminate any series resistance? Anyone have any issues?

The Xantech 4-way never gave a problem. Hopefully we're OK here with this RTI job.

Yeah, I don't understand why it is set at this level from the factory. It's always nice to fire up a system and have it work on the first try. However that trim pot does get my nerves going until I remember to tweak it up. The trim adjustment doesn't seem to be that even in its ramp up level, when lowering it down it seems to just drop off all signal if you just go just a little too far.

I'm sure tech support gets at least a few calls per week over this.

First thing I tell the guys to do is turn that pot all the way up. No issues to report.

I have never feed an IR output onto another connecting block though...

you need 2 emmiters in block for it to flash emmitters......i find factory sufficient...but wtf do i know

For the office system there are 2 control systems. Around the house they have URCs so the MRF300 is wired to the components. The T4 in the theater is talking to a RP1. I took one out put of the RP 1 included block and direct wired it into the MRF300. No issues with not enough power. I did not turn up the block. How ever it was in the box is he level I left it on. Actually, the flashers on that system are talk backs and I would say the level looks too high as they light up like Christmas.
