3. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
3.1 Installation
1.) WARNING: To avoid fire, shock, or death: TURN OFF POWER at circuit breaker or fuse
and test that power is off before wiring!
2.) For in-wall mounting an outlet box must be used. For best performance do not mount
the receivers close to the floor or near to wall niches. Do not mount the receiver into a
metal housing.
3.) Prepare wires: Pull off pre-cut insulation from RCM255 leads. Make sure that the wires
are not frayed, cut if necessary removing 5/8” (1.6cm) of insulation from each wire.
4.)
Connect wires per EXAMPLE CIRCUIT as follows: Both white wires are coupled internally
(N). Screw wire nuts on clockwise making sure no bare conductors show below the wire
connectors. Secure each connection with electrical tape.
5.)
Installation may now be completed by carefully positioning all wires and stowing the
receiver box. Restore power.
Figure 8: RCM 255 Example Circuit
The integrated ¼-wave whip antenna enables a very compact receiver unit with good radio
reception characteristics.
For good receiver performance take attention to the factors
restricting transmission range mentioned in the next both chapters
