Rane SR3

The Rane SR 3 Smart Remote is a generic, wired, RS-485 remote control with a 31-position LED indicator, data encoder with built in push switch and a 98 x 64 pixel LCD display with a programmable backlight. The encoder can be locked out by grounding the Encoder Lock terminal and enabling Auto Lock in Drag Net which is used to configure SR 3 devices. Up to 16 bitmaps can be stored locally in the SR 3 EEPROM and can be automatically recalled to correspond with different system functional modes. Screens are dynamically created using built-in, read-only character fonts. The SR 3 contains two types of fonts: text and symbol. The text font characters are standard ASCII and come in three sizes: small, medium and large. The symbol font icons (graphic symbols) map to standard ASCII characters and come in two sizes: medium and large. The simple icons can be used instead of, or in addition to, text and graphics. The SR 3 can be configured to automatically handle the data encoder, screen graphic image selection and lockout functions, or these can be handled manually by a host controller via Rane RW 485 protocol.

The SR 3 may be used in systems with SR 2 and SR 4 remotes, when a display is not required.

The SR 3 is electrically compatible with standard RS-485 interfaces plus power, thus requiring only a CAT 5 cable with a shield or two twisted pairs plus a shield.

The SR 3 mounts in a standard U.S. electrical box with a minimum depth of 2¼ inches, and can be flush covered with a standard Decora plate cover. Since Decora plates come in different colors, each SR 3 ships with four, different inserts that install behind the lens. Colors included are white (w/ black logo), white (w/ almond logo), almond (w/ black logo) and black (w/ white logo) which accommodate most applications. If the architect or interior decorator requires a custom color, a template is available allowing a custom insert to be made (out of the wall paper if need be) and cut to the proper size.
