Designed to match the décor of any room, the RK1+ offers white, black, and light almond faceplate and keycap kits, while the button backlight can be configured to 16 different colours on each button. For a high-end look and even more intuitive control experience, the unit also ships with a certificate for one set of custom engraved button keycaps using RTI’s Laser Shark service. This allows installers to create customised button keycaps featuring graphics and text for a control experience specific to each individual installation.

Simple to install, the RK1+ fits in a single-gang electrical box and is compatible with any standard Decora type wall plate. Offering direct control of electronics via an integrated IR output, the device can also be used with RTI control processors and accessories for even more powerful capabilities, including two-way control, as it provides visual feedback via the configurable backlight color. Programming the unit is quick and easy with RTI’s Integration Designer software.

“With multiple colours and custom engraving options included with every unit, the RK1+ allows dealers to offer their clients intuitive, basic control that is affordable enough to include in every room,” RTI vice president of sales and marketing Pete Baker says.

“Of course, if more advanced control features are required — whether it’s RS-232, IP, relay, or sensing — the keypad’s capabilities can easily be expanded when incorporated into an RTI control system.”
