DESCRIPTION

The Radio Frequency (RF) Plug Load Controller expands the energy savings obtained from traditional occupancy sensing to
encompass AC receptacles as well as built-in lighting. We accomplish this by providing an RF transmitter (WRC-TX or WRC-TX-LM)
that connects to your new or existing occupancy sensor, and a switched AC receptacle (WRC-15-x, WRC-20-x) that contains a built-in
RF receiver. When the RF Signal Pack receives a “vacancy” signal from the sensor, it transmits a message commanding the receptacle
to turn off. Similarly, when the office becomes occupied, the sensor sends a signal to the RF transmitter and the receptacles turn on.
Each RF Signal Pack can control up to 16 RF receptacles. A switched feed through allows for control of downstream receptacles from a
single RF receptacle. Recommended communication range between RF Signal Pack and RF Receptacle is 30 feet. Greater distances
can be achieved in ideal environments.

RECEPTACLE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. After removing power as described above, use strip gauge on back of outlet to strip all wires to desired length (if not already stripped).

2. Attach wires according to the diagram below. Be sure the wires are fastened securely, either by the terminal screws or through the
back-wire holes in the back of the outlet.

WARNING: LOOSELY FASTENED WIRES MAY RESULT IN OUTLET FAILURE AND/OR FIRE HAZARD.
If using terminal screws: Terminal screws accept up to #12 AWG wire. Wrap each stripped wire 3/4 turn clockwise under heads

of screws without overlapping, and tighten securely.
If using back-wire method: Back-wire accepts up to a #12 AWG wire. Insert stripped wire between external pressure plate clamp

and terminal. Tighten securely.

3. Mount outlet in box using mounting screws supplied. Attach wall plate. Restore power only when finished wiring the entire circuit.

PROCEDURE FOR BINDING

1. Press and hold BIND button on RF Signal Pack for 5 seconds until multi-colored LED on RF Signal Pack flashes amber. All RF
receptacles that are not already bound to an RF Signal Pack will now flash green, noting ready to bind. Any RF receptacle already
bound to this RF Signal Pack will flash amber. Any RF receptacle out of range or bound to another RF Signal Pack will not change
state. If your RF receptacle is not flashing, reset to factory default state by holding the receptacle BIND button for approximately
15 seconds until the LED is a solid amber.

2. Press and hold BIND button on RF Receptacle for 2 seconds until LED on receptacle flashes amber, noting it is properly bound. If
it was previously bound to this RF Signal Pack (was flashing amber prior to holding BIND button for 2 seconds) it will unbind and
flash green.

3. Repeat for all RF receptacles in room network.

4. Return to original RF Signal Pack and press and hold BIND button for 5 seconds until flashing LED on RF Signal Pack turns off.
All RF receptacles on the same room network will stop flashing, indicating Binding is complete.

5. Test that binding has been successful by tapping the push button of the RF Signal Pack and confirming that the green LED on the
receptacles turns on and off.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The green LED on the receptacle is on when the outlet has power, and off when the outlet is switched off. The bind button on the
receptacle or the RF Signal Pack can be pressed to override the occupancy sensor and turn on the receptacle temporarily.
