RC SERIESREMOTE CONTROLSINSTALLATIONOPERATION &SERVICE MANUALSINGLE CHANNEL RADIO RECEIVERSModel: RC713L Switching Module / Model: RC715L Timer Override ModuleFor indoor and outdoor use, suitable for Pool/Spa equipment controlELECTRICAL RATING: 15 Amp Resistive, 1200 Watt Tungsten, 1 HP Motor Load - 120 Volt.FCC InformationNOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules.These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, usesand can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio ortelevision reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by oneor more of the following measures:•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Intermatic Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.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 ofa hand held transmitter - the other half of the system. The modules are designed forindoor or outdoor use, and can handle a variety of switching applications, typicalaround the house or farm. By the push of a button on the face of the transmitter, theuser is able to turn ON/OFF the connected load (lights, pump, etc.) from any remotelocation*, safely and conveniently. In addition, a single transmitter can operate up tofour Receivers and is able to “teach” each Module a different code. (Transmitters aresold separately). Model RC713L 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 beturned ON/OFF using the hand-held transmitter or turned ON/OFF by pushing the redbutton on the face of the Receiver.Model RC715L Receiver Module is the same as the RC713L Module above,except it has no manual ON/OFF button on its face. This Module is designed to beconnected to a timer and will override its pre-set program, without affecting the nextautomatic operation. At-site control of the load is possible by the ON/OFF switch ofthe timer.* The open field range is 100 feet but depends on many factors like the age of the battery, proximity oflarge metal objects, the location of the receiver and environmental conditions at the time of transmission.1IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS1.

SPECIFICATIONS AND OTHER INFORMATIONINSTALLATIONUSEFUL INFORMATION1. 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 itsrange. For good range and reliable reception, installmodules as high as practical above ground level withantenna at top.3. Large metal objects divert radio signals. Avoidmounting Receiver Modules on metal wall, fence or near large metal objects.4. Environmental conditions could effect the operationof the remote control system. For example, in rainthe range may be less than normal.5. Certain electric equipment like brush type motors or electronic gas heater igniters emit radio signalsand can effect the function of the Receiver Module.Avoid mounting modules near such equipment.6. Antenna orientation may increase or decrease the radio range. For best results, keep the antenna straight and adjust for better radio reception by bending the antenna near its base.A. ON/OFF Switching Application - use Model RC713LMake sure the intended load is within the capacity of theModule, see ratings on page 1 and other choices on page 4.1. Attach RC713L Receiver Module to the top of an outdoor gradejunction box. Make sure the assembly is raintight.2. Select the proper location (see Useful Information above) andinstall 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 installationlayout and pull-in the specified conductors.4. Follow wiring diagram A on the right, make wire connections as shown.5. Turn ON power and test installation, using the ON/OFF buttonon face of the Receiver Module. Replace junction box cover,make sure the installation is secure and raintight.6. Set code, see Operating Instructions on page 3.2OPERATIONB. Timer Override Application - use Model RC715LAn existing timer can only be upgraded if theload connected to the timer is within thecapacity of the Receiver Module. Otherwise,the timer mechanism must be replaced withIntermatic Model P1103ME, see also otherchoices on page 4.1. Select the proper location (see UsefulInformation on page 2) and install a radiocompatible timer on a vertical surface or other support, using hardware, suitable for the purpose.2. Prepare the necessary conduit runs as requiredby the installation layout and pull-in the specified conductors.3. Use one of the side knock-outs and a suitable conduit-L, attach Model RC715L ReceiverModule to timer enclosure.4. Follow wiring diagram B on the right, make wire connections as shown.5. Turn ON power, and test installation, using the ON/OFF control of the timer.A. To Set CodeReceiver Modules have the capacity to “learn” and remember a unique code, generated by a Transmitter. The Transmitter will operate only the designated Receiver. In addition, each Transmitter can “teach” andoperate up to four different of Receivers. 1. Turn ON the main power and manually operate the load a few times, then turn load OFF.2. Press the “Code Set” button on the face of the Receiver Module. The green light next to the button should now belit and stay lit for 30 seconds.3. Hold the Transmitter close to the Receiver Module, press and hold the push button on the Transmitter that you choose to operate that particular Module. the red light on the Transmitter will light to indicate that it is transmitting. On the Receiver Module, the green light will flash rapidly after it is programmed.To operate more than one Receiver Module with the same Transmitter button, in step 2 press the :”Code Set” buttonfor each Receiver Module to be controlled. The green light next to the button will turn on. Press and hold the desiredtransmitter button until all Receiver Module green lights begin to flash.To operate Receiver Modules independently, program the Modules as shown in steps 2 and 3 but use a differenttransmitter button for each Module.3In case this device is used to operate pool/spa equipment...DANGER! To Reduce the Risk of Injury:... do not permit children to operate the Control Unit or use the Pool/Spa unless they are closely supervised at all times.... test GROUND FAULT protection regularly. If it fails to reset, DO NOT USE THE POOL or SPA! Contact a qualified service technician.Manual ON/OFFButton (ModelRC713L Only)Override Connections(Model RC715L Only)7. To prevent electronic interference, install ReceiverModules as far apart as practical.Figure 1*Ground connections may or may not be as shown.Diagram A*Ground connections may or may not be as shown.Diagram B*RC713LReceiverModuleRC715LReceiverModule
