Wireless RF Remote Control System
RFK100, RFK100L
Wall Mounted Switch and Plug-in Receiver
This wireless Radio Frequency (RF) control is an easy, convenient way to add switched outlet convenience without any wiring or
electrician needed. The invisible RF signal passes through walls, doors, ceilings, floors and even around corners. Simply plug the
desired appliance into the receiver and the receiver into any outlet. The transmitter is designed to look just like an actual switch and
switchplate and mounts to any surface with the enclosed screws. A press of the transmitter’s toggle switch turns whatever you’ve
plugged into the receiver on or off - just like a hardwired switch and outlet!
Channel Code Information
Three operating channels are available so you can control three separate systems at different locations in your home. Be sure to
match common frequency channels, for those devices you want operated by the same switch.
INSTRUCTIONS
Notes:
The total load of appliances connected to the Plug-in Receiver
should not exceed 1200 Watts or 10 Amps.
Do not use Plug-in Receiver to control appliance loads that may be
dangerous to turn on remotely (i.e. power tools).
The Plug-in Receiver must be located within 100 feet of the Wall
Transmitter.
•
Remove Front Cover of Wall Transmitter by turning the two white
Cover Screws on the Front Cover counter-clockwise.
•
Remove plastic Battery Tab by gently pulling it from Battery
Compartment (this tab isolates the battery until it’s ready for use and
insures that you’ll have a fresh battery).
•
Reinstall Front Cover using 2 Cover Screws. Set Wall Transmitter
aside.
•
Plug your light/appliance into the outlet on the Receiver being
careful to match the wide blade of the light/appliance (if equipped)
with the wide slot on the outlet.
•
Plug the Receiver into any standard grounded 110/120 Volt outlet
being careful to match the wide blade of the Receiver with the wide
slot on the outlet. Fully insert.
•
Before mounting your Wall Transmitter, hold your Wall Transmitter at
the location where you wish to install.
•
Press Toggle Switch to determine if your light/appliance turns on and
off. If your light/appliance does not respond try relocating the
Transmitter or Receiver. Large metal objects such as metal doors or
cabinets should not be in the way of the Wall Transmitter and Plug-in
Receiver since this could decrease the range of the RF signal.
•
Once you have succesfully completed this test, remove Front Cover
once again and mount Wall Transmitter with two enclosed Mounting
Screws. (Surfaces other than wood may require different type of
mounting hardware.)
•
Replace Front Cover of Wall Transmitter and secure to wall switch
with white Cover Screws (do not overtighten).
OPERATION
Simply press the Toggle Switch to turn the light/appliance you’ve
plugged into the Receiver on or off.
Note:
Wait at least 3 seconds after you press the transmitter on or off
before you press it again. This allows for the RF signal transmission to
be completed.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Your RFK100 battery should last 2-3 years under normal use.
To replace battery:
•
Remove Front Cover of Wall Transmitter by turning the two white
Cover Screws on the Front counter-clockwise.
•
Remove battery from Battery Compartment and replace with
another 12Volt battery (Radio Shack™ 23, 23M, VR22, EL22 or
equivalent).
•
Replace Front Cover and Screw.
