The RC-85 transmitter (car accessory)

The RC-85 is a component of Jablotron’s Oasis 80 alarm
system. It is designed to be installed inside cars with a
voltage supply of 12 to 24 V to remotely control electrical
appliances (e.g. garage doors or parking gates), in a similar
way to the RC-80 keyfob. It can also be used for sending
an alarm signal from a car.
The transmitter is not continuously powered and only
transmits a signal when connected to the power supply. It
can be configured whether a signal is sent instantly or only
after two applications of the power supply within 2 seconds.

Installation

Install the transmitter into the car’s interior (e.g. in the
dash-board) It should not be installed directly onto a metal
surface (it adversely affects the transmitter’s radio
range). We recommend securing the transmitter onto a
plastic part of the car with screws. The wires also serve
as an antenna so they should not be shorter then 30cm.

By connecting both wires to a voltage supply a
panic signal is sent (= both buttons are pressed
simultaneously).

• For operation in a car it is possible to use existing
switches in the car (full-beam headlight flash switch,
horn – it is recommended to have the double-pulse
reaction enabled), or, alternatively, any other suitable
additional switches can be installed.

• To send alarm information from a car to an Oasis
system, connect the red and white wires to the car
alarm output where a positive voltage supply is
present during an alarm (e.g. the siren output).

Caution: Avoid using this output for confirming car
alarm operation (this would cause false alarms).

Double-pulse reaction

As a factory default, the transmitter will send a signal
immediately after being connected to a power supply. This
behaviour can be changed by connecting a jumper (link) inside
the transmitter. After that, both inputs will react only when a
voltage supply is connected for the second time within 2
seconds. This corresponds to a double-press of a button. This
feature allows you to prevent the appliances from reacting to

changes in voltage supply which are due to standard car
operation, e.g. turning lights on/off. If both inputs are switched
simultaneously to a voltage supply, a panic signal is always sent
immediately after the power supply has been connected for the
first time, regardless of the jumper setting.

Enrollment to a receiver

Enrolling the RC-85 transmitter is the same as in the case of the
RC-80 keyfob. But instead of pressing the buttons, the two wires
get connected to a voltage supply.

Notes about RC-85 functions

The RC-85 only sends a signal at the moment of
connecting the wires to a voltage supply. For the next

transmission, the voltage supply must first be disconnected
and then connected again. The functions of each wire are
independent – if one wire is permanently connected to a
voltage supply, the other one still works.

For controlling appliances, the UC-82 or AC-82 receivers can
be used (the transmitter is enrolled to the receiver by activation –
see the manual for the particular receiver).

For acoustic signalling, the doorbell function of the JA-80L
indoor wireless siren can be used (the transmitter is enrolled
to the siren by activation – see the manual for the siren).

For reporting a car alarm to an Oasis alarm system, the
transmitter can be enrolled to the Oasis control panel or to
the UC-82 receiver. In enrollment mode, connect both RC­85 wires (red and white) to a positive voltage supply and
keep them connected for about 3 sec. (the same effect as
simultaneously pressing and holding a keyfob’s buttons).

When the car alarm is triggered connect power to the red
wire to transmit a signal. The device reaction in the Oasis
system is set to 4 (24 hours).
