The new Pro Control Pro.rfz wireless range extender makes it simple and cost effective to extend the ProLink.z processor’s 2.4-GHz ZigBee® wireless network to additional areas of a home or commercial facility. This provides users with powerful two-way control and feedback — including song metadata, volume levels, current temperature, and more — via their sleek and powerful Pro24.z remote.

Featuring a durable plastic enclosure, the Pro.rfz can be located up to 70 feet away from the ProLink.z processor. For increased reliability, multiple modules can be added to create a wireless 2.4-GHz ZigBee RF network that instantly adapts to changes or problems within the communication path for greater accuracy.

For installers, the range extender is easily configured via the Pro Control Studio software and a micro USB cable. Providing a clean and simple installation, the Pro.rfz features a detachable wall bracket and can be conveniently powered from any electrical outlet.

ProLink.z/Pro24.z Two-Way Control and Feedback System
The Pro Control ProLink.z control processor and the award-winning Pro24.z touchscreen controller work together to deliver the ultimate control experience. The ProLink.z features an integrated 2.4-GHz ZigBee® antenna for bidirectional communication via the Pro24.z, in addition to two RS-232 two-way ports for advanced control and monitoring of devices. Sporting a sleek, sophisticated design, the Pro24.z controller features a high-resolution 2.4-inch TFT LCD touchscreen display, programmable five-way joystick, and backlit hard buttons to enable intuitive operation even in a darkened room. The powerful ProLink.z processor stores macros for professional-grade control and features an abundance of control options, including six routable IR ports with adjustable output strength, two voltage-sensing inputs for improved management of connected devices, and an Ethernet port for network control of a virtually unlimited number of devices. Pro Control’s ProPanel app is also available for the ProLink.z control processor, giving users complete two-way control and feedback over any Pro Control system from the convenience of their iPod touch®, iPhone®, or iPad®.

Additionally, the ProPanel app sports a completely customizable graphical user interface, giving end users a consistent user experience across all Pro Control remote controllers in their system.

iPro.8 Companion Controller
Designed for end-users that enjoy using their Apple® smartphone or tablet as the primary controller for their electronic systems, the low-cost Pro Control iPro.8 companion controller adds the convenience of a dedicated remote with instant connectivity and hard buttons for tactile control. The patent-pending iPro.8 remote works as an extension of the ProPanel app running on an iPod touch®, iPhone®, or iPad®. It gives users the hard buttons and tactile control to which they are accustomed and provides immediate access to common functions such as changing channels, controlling the volume, and DVR transport.
