Pod Skalkou 33

The RC-87 is a component of Jablotron’s Oasis 80 alarm system. It
allows users to trigger panic alarms or to control appliances remotely.
It is especially designed for personal calls for help. The battery­powered wireless button communicates via OASIS radio protocol.
The button can be worn on your wrist like a watch or it can hang
around your neck (an appropriate strap is supplied in the package).

Caution: When hanging around the neck, the strap must be
equipped with a mechanical release which disconnects the strap
whenever the loading force exceeds 40N.

Enrolling to an Oasis control panel

The button can be used with an Oasis control panel for triggering panic
alarms. Take the following steps to enroll the button:

1. Enter enrollment mode on the control panel by keying in “1” in
Service mode (the desired device address can be chosen by the
arrow keys).

2. Hold the button until you see the button’s LED flash once.

3. The button will enroll to the chosen position.

4. Exit enrollment mode by pressing “#”.

The control panel’s natural reaction to the button is a Panic alarm. A
different reaction can be programmed if desired.
The wrist button can be enroled by inserting the battery (step 2).

Functionality

By factory default, the button reacts to pressing with beeps and
flashes. This way it is signalled that the time is getting close for alarm
triggering. If you re-press the button within 5 seconds, the pre­alarm condition will be cancelled. If no cancellation occurs, an alarm

signal will be sent after 5 seconds. This feature allows the user to
cancel accidental button pressing.
The button can be reconfigured to another function as follows:

1. Open the button unit (release 4 screws from below) and pull out
the electronics.

2. Disconnect the battery from the holder (it can be pulled out using
a thin tool). Wait for 15 seconds.

3. Press and hold the button with one hand and insert the battery
with your other hand. Keep the button pressed until beeps are
heard (after 2 seconds approximately). The number of beeps (1, 2
or 3) indicates the mode which has been set, see below.

triggering an alarm.

Testing the panic button

The signals received by the control panel from the RC-87 can be
checked and measured. See the control panel manual for details.

Controlling electrical appliances

The RC-87 can also be used with other Jablotron products which
communicate via Oasis radio protocol, e.g. the JA-80L wireless siren,
or relay receiving modules series UC-8x and AC-8x (see the manuals
of these particular products for details).
The RC-87 transmits the same kind of signal as transmitted when a
pair of buttons is pressed simultaneously on an RC-80 keyfob.
The RC-87 can be enrolled to several receivers at once, e.g. alarm
triggering can also cause lights to be turned on.

Battery replacement

The button unit monitors its battery voltage and if too low, a report is
sent to the control panel to inform the installer or user. A critical
voltage level is also indicated by an LED flashing fast 3 times every 5
minutes. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible. As with
configuration, the button can be opened by unscrewing the 4 screws
from the bottom part. We recommend battery replacement be done by
a service technician.

Expired batteries should not be thrown into the garbage, but disposed
of according to local regulations.
