Design Manual

create the conﬁguration ﬁle and attach them to the physical RADs (if they are available). If you label the

RADs early in the process, it may help the installers conﬁrm they are installing the right RADs in the right

places.

Note: If you do not need custom labels, you can use the generic labels shipped with the RADs.

To generate RAD labels:

1. Within the Mongoose Tracker, open the conﬁguration ﬁle from which you want to generate labels.

Alternatively, if you have applied the conﬁguration to a device, you can open the device itself.

2. Conﬁrm that the RADs are conﬁgured appropriately. At a minimum, enter the names for the

channels as this is needed for the generation of labels. To enter channel names in bulk, click the

Rename Channels button in the audio routing matrix area:

In the window that

appears, type the RAD and CobraNet channel names that you want.

3. In the toolbar, select the Labels icon:

e Create RAD Labels dialog box displays:

4. In Name and Location, browse for or type the location and ﬁle name you want for the PDF ﬁle

you are generating. If you type the name of a folder that does not exist, the software will create

it for you. By default, the ﬁle is named RADLabels.pdf and is placed in My Documents\Mongoose

Tracker\RAD Labels.

5. In Label Color, select the color you want your labels to be (to match the Decora plates you will be

using). e choices are white (with black text), black (with white text), and ivory (with black text).

6. Click Create. Mongoose Tracker generates the PDF ﬁle and, once it is complete, displays a

conﬁrmation message and enables the View button.

7. Click View to open the ﬁle.

8. When you are satisﬁed with the results, print the PDF ﬁle. e best ﬁt is with paper of no more

than 24 lb weight (90g/m

) or caliper thickness no more than 5 mils (0.127 mm)

9. Cut out the labels and insert them behind the Lexan window on the appropriate RADs. To help

with the alignment of the labels, we recommend that you wait until after inserting the labels before

trimming oﬀ the excess paper (using an Exacto or box knife).

Note: If you want to use diﬀerent fonts or colors for the label text, you will need to create the label

document yourself. To do so, download the Microsoft Word template from the Mongoose page on the

Rane website. Enter the channel names, apply the appropriate fonts and/or colors, print the document,

and cut and insert the labels.
