Description
The ZPM-RT2 Remote Control Kit is the essential upgrade for Spectrum2 screens, turning your setup into a smart, effortless cinema experience. Designed to attach directly to the Spectrum2 power cable, this compact kit unlocks IR and RF remote control along with a 5-12V trigger, delivering reliable, long-distance control without the hassles of line-of-sight limitations. Whether you’re outfitting a home theater, business presentation room, or digital signage installation, the ZPM-RT2 gives you seamless, responsive control that feels both modern and intuitive.
- Long-range RF control with optional IR support: The ZPM-RT2 enables you to operate your Spectrum2 screen from across the room or venue, eliminating the need to stand directly in front of the screen. The RF capability ensures reliable performance even when furniture, lighting, or people sit between you and the display, while built-in IR compatibility maintains compatibility with traditional remotes for those moments when line-of-sight is still practical. This hybrid approach makes control versatile in any seating arrangement or room configuration.
- Universal IR learning remote integration: The kit is designed to work with universal IR learning remotes, allowing you to consolidate control of your projector, screen, and other AV components into a single, familiar interface. By supporting IR learning, you can train your preferred remote to trigger screen operations, channel switching, and power sequences, creating a cohesive and streamlined user experience without juggling multiple remotes.
- 5-12V trigger compatibility for automated scenes: The ZPM-RT2 includes a robust 5-12V trigger connection that can be wired to compatible control systems, projectors, or automation hubs. This feature makes it simple to automate screen movement, projector on/off, or other connected devices based on a cue from your automation setup, enhancing efficiency and reducing the need for manual operation during presentations or media playback.
- RJ45 port for easy system integration: An RJ45 port on the kit enables straightforward integration with control networks, automation controllers, or enterprise AV setups. This connectivity option supports clean, professional installations where aesthetics and cable management matter, while ensuring reliable communications between the Spectrum2 screen and your control ecosystem.
- Plug-and-play installation with no extra power supply: The ZPM-RT2 is designed to attach directly to the Spectrum2 power cable, using the screen’s existing power path. This plug-and-play approach minimizes installation time, reduces clutter, and avoids the need for additional power adapters or battery changes, delivering a tidy, dependable upgrade to your screen system.

How to install Elite Screens Remote Control Kit For Spectrum2
- Power down your projection environment and unplug the Spectrum2 system before starting installation.
- Identify the Spectrum2 power cable where the ZPM-RT2 will be inserted. The kit is designed to clip or inline into the existing power path without the need for tools in most installations.
- Connect the ZPM-RT2 to the Spectrum2 power cable according to the included installation guide. Ensure all connectors are firmly seated and that there is no strain on the cable connections.
- If using the 5-12V trigger, locate the trigger input on your control system or projector and connect the trigger wire to the ZPM-RT2’s trigger interface. Verify correct polarity and secure attachment to prevent intermittent triggering during operation.
- Connect the RJ45 port on the ZPM-RT2 to your control hub, automation controller, or network segment as needed. This step enables ongoing communication and seamless integration with your room’s AV control system.
- Power on the Spectrum2 screen and any connected equipment. Use your preferred IR remote or RF remote to test the system’s response. If your setup uses a universal IR learning remote, program it to recognize the ZPM-RT2’s signals for consistent performance. Confirm that the trigger-based automation works as expected by initiating a test scene (for example, lowering the screen or powering on the projector).
- Conduct a functional range test to determine RF control reach and verify that IR commands still operate when line-of-sight is obstructed. If necessary, adjust remote placement or add repeaters to optimize coverage for your room layout.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What is the purpose of the ZPM-RT2 Remote Control Kit? A: The ZPM-RT2 adds IR and RF remote control along with a 5-12V trigger to the Spectrum2 screen, enabling long-distance operation, universal IR learning remote integration, and automation compatibility for a more streamlined AV setup.
- Q: Do I still need line-of-sight to control the Spectrum2 with this kit? A: Not for RF-based control—the RF signal allows you to control the screen from across the room or through obstacles. IR control may still require line-of-sight, depending on the remote and environment, but the kit’s hybrid approach minimizes this limitation.
- Q: What is the 5-12V trigger used for? A: The 5-12V trigger provides a standard control signal for automation systems, enabling synchronized actions such as lowering the screen when a projector powers on or right-sizing the screen for a presentation workflow.
- Q: Is there an external power supply needed? A: No. The ZPM-RT2 attaches directly to the Spectrum2 power cable, drawing power from the existing supply and avoiding the need for an additional adapter or battery.
- Q: Can I use this with a universal IR learning remote? A: Yes. The kit is designed to support universal IR learning remotes, allowing you to train a single remote to control multiple components in your AV setup, including the Spectrum2 screen and associated devices.
- Q: How do I install the ZPM-RT2? A: Installation is designed to be straightforward and plug-and-play. Power down the system, inline the kit with the Spectrum2 power cable, connect the trigger and RJ45 as needed, and test control range. If you run into coverage issues, reposition components or add an RF extender, and ensure your IR learning remote is correctly programmed.
