The device includes two key-fob radio transmitters, each featuring three buttons. Outputs 1 and 2 feature a toggle action (pressbutton once to turn the output on, press again to turn off) and output 3 features a timed output variable between one and four minutes.• 3 output channels, two toggle action, one timed• Range up to 150m transmitter to antenna• Uses state-of-the-art 433MHz FM license exempt radio• Secure code-hopping transmission protocol• Controls up to 2400W of lighting• 220V – 240V AC operating• Remote hermetically sealed antenna can be located up to 50m away from main unit (requires satellite co-axial cable, not supplied)• Can be used to control other mains loadsApplications• Driveway lighting• Garage door opening• Outside lighting• Architectural or garden lightingInstructions for UseThe RLC-901 comes in two parts – the antenna unit and the main controller box.Antenna UnitThe antenna unit is designed to be mounted outside and should be positioned such as to give a clear line of sight to the desired transmissionposition. For example, if the RLC-901 is used to activate lights as you approach a driveway, ensure the antenna can be seen from the end ofthe driveway. This will achieve maximum range. The antenna unit is fully waterproof. Removing the lid of the unit will expose the fixingholes. Mount the antenna unit:• In line of sight with transmitter• At least 2m away from any metallic objects or other cables• Avoid corners where two walls meet• Ideal mounting is half-way between the ground and the gutter on a large exterior wall.Control BoxThe control box is designed to be mounted indoors and is not suitable for mounting outside. Fixing holes need to be drilled in the corners ofthe enclosure after first removing the lid, as do 20mm holes for the supplied cable glands. These have been left undrilled to allow greaterflexibility in installation. Extreme caution is required to prevent damage to the circuit board inside the unit.There is a cable linking the main circuit board inside the unit with the lid. This must be plugged into the socket on the lid after the unit isfixed to the wall.Electrical ConnectionsMains connections to the unit should be made using suitably rated twin and earth cable. The power input connects to L and N ‘in’, as markedon the board inside the control box, for live and neutral connections respectively. Outputs 1, 2 and 3 are similarly marked. The earthconnections for all mains cables must be insulated with earth sleeve and connected to the supplied earth terminal.The Antenna Unit and Control Box can be mounted up to 50m away from each other and are connected together with ordinary double-shielded 75Ω co-axial satellite cable (not supplied). Each end of the cable can be terminated with the supplied ‘F’ connectors. Maximumcable length is 50m. For a cable length of 5m, attainable range is in excess of 150m. An insulating boot is provided for the ‘F’ connector ateach end of the antenna cable. |
