IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT APPLY 120VAC POWER TO THE PRESET 8. THE STATION WILL
BE DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR AND WILL NOT BE COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY.
Jumper settings
There are six jumpers on the rear of the Preset 8. All are installed at the factory. This configures the
Preset 8 as a Main station which will support most applications. To enable additional features,
jumpers can be removed as shown by the table below.

Mounting
The Preset 8 can be mounted in most 3-gang electrical boxes. Raco model 692 box is included with
each station. Other boxes may be used provided they have a depth of at least 2 inches.
The Preset 8 must be mounted with the hidden record switch/signal indicator hole to the right. If the
Preset 8 is mounted upside down, the sliders will work in reverse.
Observe the “UP” marking on the
rear of the Preset 8 for additional verification.
Configuring Remote stations
There must be one (and only one) Main station. The Main station can support up to four Remote
stations. If there is only one Remote station, no configuration other than proper jumper setting is
required. However, if there are two or more Remote stations, they must be configured to insure
reliable communications with the Main station. This following process is used to set each Remote
station’s unit ID.
