FCC Information NOTE: 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, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 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 users authority to operate this equipment. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1. This Control must be installed by a qualified electrician, according to National and Local Electrical Codes. 2. USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY. If applicable, install this Control not less than 5 feet (3 meters for Canadian installations) of inside edge of pool or spa. 3. Do not exceed the maximum ratings of individual components, wiring devices, and current carrying capacity of conductors. 4. For grounding of the installation, refer to section 250 and 680 of the National Electrical Code. 5. This Control should not operate any equipment which would cause bodily injury or property damage should it be activated unexpectedly. 6. Always disconnect electricity at main panel before servicing this Control or the equipment(s) connected to it. THIS CONTROL IS NOT TO BE USED AS A POWER DISCONNECT. READ, FOLLOW AND SAVE THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL GENERAL INFORMATION 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 of a hand held transmitter - the other half of the system. The modules are designed for indoor or outdoor use, and can handle a variety of switching applications, typical around the house or farm. 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 any remote location*, safely and conveniently. In addition, a single transmitter can operate up to four Receivers and is able to teach each Module a different code. (Transmitters are sold 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 be turned ON/OFF using the hand-held transmitter or turned ON/OFF by pushing the red button 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 be connected to a timer and will override its pre-set program, without affecting the next automatic operation. At-site control of the load is possible by the ON/OFF switch of the timer.
* The open field range is 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. 1 SPECIFICATIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION USEFUL INFORMATION 1. 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 its range. For good range and reliable reception, install modules as high as practical above ground level with antenna at top. 3. Large metal objects divert radio signals. Avoid mounting Receiver Modules on metal wall, fence or near large metal objects. 4. Environmental conditions could effect the operation of the remote control system. For example, in rain the range may be less than normal. 5. 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. 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. Manual ON/OFF Button (Model RC713L Only) Override Connections

- use Model RC713L Make sure the intended load is within the capacity of the Module, see ratings on page 1 and other choices on page 4. 1. Attach RC713L Receiver Module to the top of an outdoor grade junction box. Make sure the assembly is raintight. 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 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 button on 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. B. Timer Override Application
- use Model RC715L An existing timer can only be upgraded if the load connected to the timer is within the capacity of the Receiver Module. Otherwise, the timer mechanism must be replaced with Intermatic Model P1103ME, see also other choices on page 4. 1. Select the proper location (see Useful Information on page 2) and install a radio compatible timer on a vertical surface or other support, using hardware, suitable for the purpose. 2. Prepare the necessary conduit runs as required by 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 Receiver Module 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. RC715L Receiver Module
*Ground connections may or may not be as shown. Diagram B OPERATION RC713L Receiver Module
*Ground connections may or may not be as shown. Diagram A In 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. A. To Set Code Receiver 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 and operate 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 be lit 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 button for each Receiver Module to be controlled. The green light next to the button will turn on. Press and hold the desired transmitter 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 different transmitter button for each Module. 2 3
