DR3
DIGITAL REMOTE
General Description
Rane Digital Remotes simplify end user control and eliminate
installer brain fatigue. All offer customizable backlit LCD
screens for intuitive end user labeling. All are available in three
colors to coordinate with surroundings: white, ivory or black,
and include a matching Decora® plate cover.
Home run shielded CAT 5e (or better) connections to a
HAL, EXP or CP66 eliminate addressing, external power, and
the need to test the cables. The DR can be up to 300 meters
(1000 feet) away from its host. It mounts in a standard two-gang
U.S. electrical box.
The DR3 is extremely flexible, as it can control both selec-
tion and volume. You can think of the DR3 as two different
remotes—a selector and a level. One knob makes a selection, the
other knob changes the volume. Display screens are dynamic, au-
tomatically updating when the available options change through
preset activation, room combining, and so on. Therefore, the user
always sees the options that are currently available.

HAL System Applications
Halogen software lets you configure a DR3 in one of three ways:
• Single Level & Selector: Control level and selection from the
same remote. For example, you could use a DR3 to select the
background music source and control the volume in a room.
• Single Level & List of Toggles/Commands: This option
allows you to control a single level and multiple other items.
For example, you could use a DR3 to control the volume in a
room as well as activate/deactivate one or more listed presets
that change the audio and control parameters for the room.
• List of Levels: Choose and adjust multiple levels. For example,
you could use a DR3 to control the volume in multiple rooms
or zones from a single DR located at a hostess station or in a
manager's office.
