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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. This Control must be installed by a qualified electrician, according to National and Local Electrical Codes.

2. USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY. If applicable, install this Control not less than 5 feet (3 meters for Canadian
installations) of inside edge of pool or spa.

3. Do not exceed the maximum ratings of individual components, wiring devices, and current carrying capacity of conductors.

4. For grounding of the installation, refer to section 250 and 680 of the National Electrical Code.

5. This Control should not operate any equipment which would cause bodily injury or property damage should it be
activated unexpectedly.

6. Always disconnect electricity at main panel before servicing this Control or the equipment(s) connected to it.
THIS CONTROL IS NOT TO BE USED AS A POWER DISCONNECT.

GENERAL INFORMATION

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

he modules ar

a hand held tr
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

a 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 con­nected 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.

SPECIFICATIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION

USEFUL INFORMATION

1. Radio Receivers are sensitive to heat. Avoid
mounting them above heater, air conditioner
or exposed to afternoon sun.

2. The higher the Receiver Module, the longer its
range. For good range and reliable reception, install
modules as high as practical above ground level with
antenna at top.

3. Large metal objects divert radio signals. Avoid
mounting Receiver Modules on metal wall, fence
or near large metal objects.

4. Environmental conditions could effect the operation
of the remote control system. For example, in rain
the range may be less than normal.

5. Certain electric equipment like brush type motors
or electronic gas heater igniters emit radio signals
and can effect the function of the Receiver Module.
Avoid mounting modules near such equipment.

6. To prevent electronic interference, install Receiver
Modules at least 3 feet apart.
