INTRODUCTION

• Each REMCON relay, unlike any other low

voltage relay, has a built-in transformer for

unit control. Each relay in the system operates

independently and has no effect on other relays.

You can economically install as little as one relay

and operate it with as many switches desired.

• Only 6 volts on switch legs. That means no

Romex or armored cable* to pull; just light,

pliable #18 wire. *Where code permits

• Simpler wiring. No need to wire back to a

separate, low voltage transformer. You simply

connect the low-voltage wires to the terminals.

• Silent operation. Low relay noise level permits

installation of relay, right at the fixture. No

need to mount in a remote location.

• Relay cannot burn out if low voltage switch

legs are shorted.

• R-115S and RC-120S are solid state relays.

APPLICATIONS

• 3-way (or more) switching of a light

• Individual switch controls

• Converting closet lights to operate from door

jamb switches

• Outside lights with indoor switching control

SAFETY INFORMATION

� CAUTION

• Improper connection of power leads will result

in permanent damage to the relay. Re-check

your wiring before turning on AC power!

• To control relay, use only REMCON momentary-

contact switch or equivalent. If any old

REMCON control switches containing a light

bulb exist in the installation, the light bulb

must be removed from these switches, or

improper relay operation will result!

• The R-115S cannot be used to replace the R-4115.

• Do not exceed ratings of 6.5 AMPS AC resistive,

tungsten or ballast load, or 1/4 HP motor load.

• Do not install relay in a location where the

temperature may exceed 104 °F (40 °C).

• Incorrect hook-up can result in an electrical

hazard.

• Note: If there is more than one relay on a circuit,

the relays must all be the same type (i.e. all

R-115 or all R-115S). They cannot be intermixed

because of the difference in control currents.

• Improper connection of power leads will result

in permanent damage. Re-check your wiring

before turning on AC power to line.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

REMCON Remote-Control Switching:

Connecting Relays in Circuits

When installing more than one relay, tag each

switch leg with the relay number so that circuits can

be easily identified when finish wiring is done.

Note: For generic instructions of connecting relays in

the circuits see page 6.

1. Rough in service and branch circuits. Mount boxes

at the fixture locations to be controlled. Run high-

voltage wiring to each box. Break out knockouts

to be used for relay. All uncontrolled outlets are

wired in conventional fashion. REMCON relays

should not be mounted at this stage of wiring to

avoid any possibility of damage.

2. Mount plater ring MB-1 for switch supports at all

switch locations. Each MB-1 can accommodate up

to 3 switches. Mount the MB-1 horizontally.

3. Run #18 3-conductor low-voltage thermoplastic

wire from each relay location to its switch

location. Use a staple gun and simply staple-as-

you-go. Leave a 12-inch loop on both switches

and relay ends. Wire should be installed in

workmanlike manner so that other trades will

not injure the thermoplastic covering.

4. Match the thin, low-voltage RED, BLACK and

WHITE wires coming from the REMCON relay

cylinder to low-voltage wires in the fixture

outlet box. All wire connections must be securely

made. It Is recommended that tape be used for

connection. Where wire nuts are used, stagger

the connection. Then, slip the relay through the

proper knockout. Spring clips on sides will hold

the relay securely in place.

5. Connect the high-voltage line to relay and fixture.

6. Attach switch assembly plate to switch mounting

bracket. Pull 3 conductor #18 wire through

wall opening and connect securely to the

three terminals of the switch. Terminals are

marked RED, WHITE, and BLACK. Just match

the thin low-voltage wires to the colored switch

terminals. Then snap switches firmly into switch

assembly plate. (Plate is marked for 1, 2 or 3 gang

switches.) There is no restriction on the number of

switches that can be hooked up to the same relay.

7. Attach switch plate with screws provided,

making sure that ON is on top. When installing

the clear plastic switch plate be sure to insert

gold-tone card.

Description: MB-1, MOUNTING BRACKET

REMCON Low-Voltage Closet-Light Switching

1. Mount box at closet fixture location and run

120-volt line box. Break out knockout for later

insertion of relay.

2. Drill hole in door jamb to accommodate switch.

String 2-conductor #18 wire from door jamb and

pull through knockout in box. Connect 2 wires

projecting from cylinder of relay to the 2-conductor

#18 wire and insert relay through knockout.

3. Connect the 2-conductor #18 wire to switch.

Insert switch in door jamb and secure with screws.

4. Connect relay to 120-volt line (Shown in diagram).

R-115S / RC-120S INSTALLATIONS

1. Turn off AC power to circuit which you will be

wiring the R-115S or RC-120S into (using fuse or

circuit breaker).

2. Mount R-115S or RC-120S relay in a metal box

near the load to be switched as shown in section

“Installing in A Metal Box” on page 9.

3. Connect control wiring (light-guage wires) to

R-115S or RC-120S.

4. Connect AC power wiring and load wiring to

R-115S or RC-120S as shown in diagram.

�CAUTION

• Refer to the safety information on page 3

before applying AC power to the REMCON

R-115S or RC-120S circuit.

• Improper connection of power leads will

result in permanent damage. Re-check your

wiring before turning on AC power to line.

5. Restore AC power to line.

6. R-115S: When control switch momentarily

connects white control to red control wire,

power to load is turned ON. When control switch

connects white control wire to black control wire,

power to load is turned OFF. Contact state of the

R-115S is maintained even if AC power to the

relay is lost and is then restored.

RC-120S: When control switch terminals are

closed, power is ON.

INSTALLING IN A METAL BOX

Installing with a Mounting Nut

Preferred mounting method: Better heat dissipation

• Insert REMCON through the knock-out in gem

box, making sure it does not interfere with the

metal box screw retainers.

• Screw on the mounting nut before connecting

the control wires.

• Be sure to use slip-joint pliers to securely tighten

the nut.

• Make sure there is a good metal-to-metal

contact between the REMCON and the gem box.

Installing with a Mounting Clip

For locations where a mounting nut cannot be used:

• Insert REMCON through the knock-out hole in

the gem box.

• Make sure the REMCON is installed so that there is

no interference with the gem box screw retainers.

• Make sure the REMCON contacts the metal

surface of the gem box as tightly as possible.
