3. PROGRAMMING TRANSMITTERS (TC SERIES)

In order to operate the Plug-In ON/OFF Control (In/Outdoor) remotely, transmitter or sensor, must be programmed to the Plug-In ON/OFF

Control(In /Outdoor). Each module can be operated by up to 8 different transmitters (or 8 different command signals).

There are 2 operating modes with the Plug-In ON/OFF Control (In/Outdoor):

1) On / Off Mode - When a valid signal is received, it will turn on or off a

load.

2) Countdown Timer Mode - When a valid signal is received, the load will

be on for a specific period of time, either 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes,

30 minutes, or 60 minutes, then off. This is mainly for energy saving.

To program a TC series transmitter into the

Plug-In ON/OFF Control (In/Outdoor) under

ON/OFF mode, follow the instructions below.

1. Plug in a load to the Plug-In Module

(Indoor / Outdoor)

2. Plug in the module to an AC electrical

outlet, the red LED flashes once quickly.

The connected load (i.e. light) should be

in off mode.

3. Press and hold the “SET” button for about

3 seconds, unit the red LED flashes.

4. You may now release the “SET” button.

The red LED will continue to flash for

Note: To program other transmitters/sensors (besides TC transmitter), please refer to the instructions of the transmitters/sensors and the above instructions.

Note: You must complete the programming sequence within the

15-second interval, otherwise, the module will quit from programming mode and you need to start again from step 3 if the red LED is off.

4. SET TIMER DURATION

As mentioned, the timer can be set to the following durations, 1 minute,

5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.

There is only one timer setting, so all transmitters that are programmed for timer mode will have the same timer duration. To set the timer duration, follow the instructions below:

1. Plug in the module to an AC outlet, the red LED flashes once, so it is

powered on properly.

2. Turn on the connected load by a programmed transmitter. The load

must be on under ON/OFF mode in order to set the timer duration.

3. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds, the red LED flashes

once. The number of flashes indicates the timer duration:

4. Continue to hold the SET button until it reaches the desired setting. The

status will change every 6 seconds, i.e. hold the SET button, you will

see the number of flashes changes from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, etc.

4. SET TIMER DURATION (CONT)

Note: Once the number of flashes reaches 5, it will stay at this setting. If you would like to go back to other settings, such as 1 flash, release the button and repeat from step 1 to start over.

Once a transmitter (button) is programmed for timer mode, activating this programmed transmitter (button) will turn on the light for the specified timer duration.

During a timer count down, if the module receives another signal for timer operation, the timer will start again and overrides the previous timer, therefore, extending the On period by another timer interval.

To stop timer count down, press a programmed button for ON/OFF mode.

8. ERASING TRANSMITTERS FROM THE MODULE

You may erase a transmitter or sensor from the module, but you cannot erase a specific device directly, you must erase all the wireless devices, then program the ones you want to keep. Follow the instructions below to erase programmed transmitters / sensors.

1. Power off the Plug-In Module (Indoor / Outdoor)

by removing it from the AC socket.

2. Press and hold the SET button, while plugging in

the module to an AC outlet.

3. The red LED will be on first, then flashes rapidly

for 1 second, then on and off.

4. You may release the SET button, now

you have successfully erased all the

devices from the lighting receiver.

Press and hold the SET button while plugging it in to an AC socket

5. Now you have successfully erased all

the devices.

5. ON / OFF OPERATION

The PA-318 Plug-In Module (Indoor / Outdoor) allows on / off operation.

When the programmed button is pressed, it will transmit a signal to toggle the status of a load. For example, if a toggle signal is received when the light is off, that signal will turn on the light.

If you have a deluxe remote, you can make sure that you will actually turn on a light by pressing [ ] first, then the programmed button. Similarly, you can make sure that you will turn off a light by pressing [ ] first, then the programmed button.

If you have a deluxe remote and you press [ ], all those receivers to which the remote is programmed will turn on their loads. If you press

[ ], all those receivers to which the remote is programmed will turn off their loads.
