For indoor and outdoor use, suitable for Pool/Spa equipment control
ELECTRICAL RATING: 15 Amp Resistive, 1200 Watt Tungsten, 1 HP Motor Load - 120 Volt.
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH FCC RULES PART 15. Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions
1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference that may be received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC rules prohibit adjustments to or modification of receiver and
transmitter circuitry except for replacing the remote control battery. THERE ARE NO OTHER USER SERVICEABLE PARTS.
These Modular Radio Receivers are one half of a two part remote control system.
They operate as ordinary ON/OFF switches but they also respond to the signals of
a hand held transmitter - the other half of the system. The modules are designed for
indoor or outdoor use, and can handle a variety of switching applications, typical
around the house or farm. By the push of a button on the face of the transmitter, the
user is able to turn ON/OFF the connected load (lights, pump, etc.) from any remote
location*, safely and conveniently. In addition, a single transmitter can operate up to
four Receivers and is able to “teach” each Module a different code. (Transmitters are
sold separately).
Model RC613 Receiver Module comes with its own manual ON/OFF button and
it is intended to be installed at the location of the load. The connected load may be
turned ON/OFF using the hand-held transmitter or turned ON/OFF by pushing the red
button on the face of the Receiver.
Model RC613L Receiver Module is the same as RC613 except that it comes with
extra long (36 in.) leads.
Model RC615 Receiver Module is the same as the RC613L Module above, except
it has no manual ON/OFF button on its face. This Module is designed to be con-
nected to a timer and will override its pre-set program, without affecting the next
automatic operation. At-site control of the load is possible by the ON/OFF switch of
the timer.
* The open field range is 200 feet but depends on many factors like the age of the battery, proximity of
large metal objects, the location of the receiver and environmental conditions at the time of transmission.
