WARNING
• Installation and/or wiring must be in accordance with national and local electrical code.
• Use COPPER conductors ONLY.
• The control panel to be a minimum of 3 M. (in Canada) or 5 ft. (in USA) from the inside wall of the pool, spa, or pond, unless separated from
the body of water by a fence, wall or other permanent barrier that will make the unit inaccessible to persons in the water.
• Do NOT exceed maximum current carrying capacity.
• This enclosure does not provide grounding between conduit connections. When metallic conduit is used, you must also install grounding type
bushings and jumper wire, in accordance with the (NEC) National Electrical Code requirements.
• This control should not be connected to any equipment which would cause bodily injury or property damage should it be activated
unexpectedly.
• Disconnect power at circuit breaker(s) or disconnect switch(es) before installing or servicing.
• Test GROUND FAULT protection regularly. If it fails to reset, DO NOT USE THE POOL or SPA! Contact a qualified service technician.
Risk of Fire or Electric Shock

GENERAL INFORMATION
This Heavy Duty Modular Radio Receiver is one-half of a two-part remotecontrol system. It operates as an ordinary ON/OFF switch but also responds
to the signals of a hand-held transmitter - the other half of the system. The
module is designed for indoor or outdoor use, can control 120 or 240 VAC
loads, and can handle a variety of residential switching applications. 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 a remote location*,
safely and conveniently. In addition, a single RC939 transmitter can operate
up to three receivers and is able to “teach” each module a different code.
(Transmitters are sold separately).
The module consists of a receiver unit and a relay box permanently connected
together with a seal between them. The receiver unit is welded and has no user
serviceable parts inside. The relay box has two compartments, one for the 120 volt
coil, double-pole relay and the other for making the field connections.
* The open eld range is approximately 100 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.

SPECIFICATIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION
USEFUL INFORMATION
1. Must be mounted upright. Antenna must be up.
2. Radio receivers are sensitive to heat. Avoid mounting them
above heaters, air conditioners or exposed to afternoon sun.
3. 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 the antenna at top.
4. Large metal objects divert radio signals. Avoid mounting
receiver modules on metal walls, fences or near large metal
objects.
5. Environmental conditions could effect the operation of the
remote-control system. For example, in rain the range may
be less than normal.
6. 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.
7. To prevent electronic interference, install receiver modules at
least 3 feet apart.
INSTALLATION
Make sure the intended load is within the capacity of the module,
see ratings on page 1.
1. This module can be used to control either a 120 or 240 volt load.
The NEUTRAL, however, must always be connected to the
WHITE lead of the module. Refer to wiring diagrams on page 3.
2. Select the proper location (see Useful Information above) and
install receiver assembly on a vertical surface or other support,
using hardware suitable for the purpose.
3. Prepare the necessary conduit runs as required by the installation
layout and pull in the specied conductors.
4. Following wiring diagrams on page 3, make wire connections as
shown.
5. Turn ON power and test installation, using the ON/OFF button on
face of the receiver module. Replace junction box cover, make
sure the installation is secure.
6. To link transmitter button with the receiver, see operation
instructions on page 3.
