What the Rako WML-300 is
The Rako WML-300 is a 300W leading-edge insert card for incandescent lamps, leading-edge dimmable transformers and cold cathode fittings. It is the RAK8 counterpart of the in-line RML-500; for LED, use the trailing-edge WMT-400 card.
Where it sits in a Rako system
The WML-300 plugs into one of the eight slots on a RAK8-MB motherboard and can be mixed with other RAK8 cards. It has no memory of its own: programming is stored on the motherboard, so cards can be swapped without reprogramming. It needs a RAK-LINK in a wired system or an RX-LINK in a wireless one. It is programmed in RASOFT Pro and controlled from Rako keypads, remotes and the Rako app. See the Rako RAK system.
Ratings and limits
- Maximum load: 300W
- Leading-edge loads: incandescent, leading-edge dimmable transformers, cold cathode
Power and connection
The card takes power and control from the RAK8-MB, which runs from 230V AC 50Hz and needs a 10A Type B MCB. Rako's RAK8-MB instruction manual covers installation, which should be done by a competent electrician.
Fitting
Plugs into a RAK8-MB slot. The motherboard must be mounted vertically so its ventilation works.
Questions
What does the Rako WML-300 fit into?
A slot on a RAK8-MB motherboard, which holds up to eight cards.
Is the Rako WML-300 suitable for LED?
Rako lists it for tungsten, halogen and leading-edge transformer loads. For LED, use the WMT-400.
Does the WML-300 work in a wireless Rako system?
Yes, when its RAK8-MB is connected through an RX-LINK. In a wired system it connects through a RAK-LINK.
