1. Turn off power to the circuit that you plan on installing the ON/OFF Control
    to at the circuit breaker. 

WARNING
Failure to turn off power at the circuit breaker can result in electrical 
shock causing severe or fatal injury.

The ON/OFF Control is designed to operate maximum load of 600W at 
120VAC.  

2. Follow the diagrams below to install the ON/OFF Control with the 3 
    wires: Neutral, Live and Load.  Use the provided screws to secure the 
    ON/OFF Control. The grey antenna should not be cut or connected to 
    anything else.
3. After all the wires are connected, ensure that all of the wire connectors 
    are attached securely and there should be no exposed copper wiring.
    Straighten the antenna after installation. 

4. Secure the MR-318 to a flat surface by 2 screws or you may place it 
    inside the fixture. 
5. Turn the circuit breaker back on and turn on the wall switch that is 
    used to operate this. 
6. After you  hear a single beep, the ON/OFF Control is installed properly 
    and you can start programming transmitters to the ON/OFF Control. 

Note:
Antenna (grey wire) - Do not cut it, keep it as straight as possible after 
installation.

3. PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTERS

In order to operate the ON/OFF Control remotely, a transmitter must be 
programmed to the ON/OFF Control. Each ON/OFF Control can be  
operated by up to 8 different transmitters (or 8 different command signals).  

To program a TC series transmitter into the ON/OFF Control, follow the 
instructions below. 

1. The ON/OFF Control should be powered off initially. 
    This can be done by switching off the wall switch or  
    circuit breaker controlling the receiver module.

2. Power on the ON/OFF Control by switching on the  wall 
    switch or circuit breaker. You will hear a beep from the 
    ON/OFF Control. The beep indicates the ON/OFF 
    Control is now in programming mode and it  will stay 
    in this mode for 15 seconds.

3. Press the PROG button on the back of  the trans-
    mitter with a sharp object. The front LED will  be on.

4. Press the button on the transmitter that you 
    would like to program into the ON/OFF Control,  
    the front LED  will flash. 

5. Once the transmitter is programmed, the ON/OFF 
    Control will beep, indicating you have successfully 
    programmed the transmitter to the On/Off Control.
    Now the programmed transmitter button is ready  to 
    be used.

Note: To program other transmitters/sensors (besides TC transmitter), 
please refer to the instructions of those transmitters/sensors and  the above
instructions.

4. ON / OFF OPERATION

The MR-318 ON/OFF Control allows on / off operation, when the 
programmed button is pressed, it will transmit a signal to toggle the 
current status of the load. For example, if a toggle signal is received when 
the light is off, that signal will turn on the light. 

Note:
If the ON/OFF Control is installed 
after a wall switch, you can use the 
transmitter to operate the light 
remotely only if the wall switch is 
in the ON position. If the wall switch 
is off, no power is provided to the 
ON/OFF Control and therefore, you 
cannot operate the light remotely. 

In case the transmitter is not on hand, 
you can still operate the lighting 
fixture with the wall switch. 

This receiver offers two optional states after powered on, choose the one 
which fits your requirement.

1. Power On - Light On:

1) You may use the wall switch to control the light as usual.
2) After a power outage and the electricity comes back, the light will be 
    on if the wall switch is in On position.

 

If you have a deluxe remote, you can make sure that you will actually turn 
on a light by pressing [      ] first, then the programmed button. Similarly, 
you can make sure that you will turn off a light by pressing [      ] first, then 
the programmed button. 

If you have a deluxe remote and you press [      ], all those receivers to 
which the remote is programmed will turn on their loads. If you press 
[       ], all those receivers to which the remote is programmed will turn 
off their loads.
