Transmitter Callout Features
1. Input Jacks
Non-polarized, standard banana plug type.
2. Power Indicator
When the transmitter is On, the
LED illuminates
indicating that a signal is being produced.
3. Line Energized Indicator
The transmitter continuously monitors the voltage
across its input terminals. If greater than 30 volts
AC or 40 volts DC is present, the LED indicator
illuminates. The transmitter also communicates the
line voltage state to the receiver.
4. Low Battery Indicator
When the batteries approach the 10% discharge
point, the
LED lights. Once the batteries
are depleted, the LED flashes. At this point, the
batteries are fully exhausted, and the unit forces
power down.
5. Power Button
Depress the
button to switch power on and enable
the transmit function. Depress again to conserve battery
power when not in use.
6. Operating Range
Operates on energized/de-energized circuits from 0 to 600V AC/DC.
7. Battery Compartment
Holds (4) AA batteries for maximum transmit power and battery life.
8. Safety
Rated for use in Cat III-600V environments and has a high-energy, fast-acting fuse for
additional protection.
Additional Notes
•
The transmitter's signal does not affect sensitive, electronic equipment on the circuit.
•
In a closed circuit, because the transmitter generates a small load current, its signal
can be detected upstream through the feeder panel and the distribution transformer.
The strength of the signal is reduced as it passes through the transformer in inverse
proportion to the turns ratio of the transformer.
•
Can be used on GFCI protected circuits.

3. Audible Indication
Depress this button to turn the sound On/Off. If On
is selected, a variable pitch/tone is produced -
directly proportional to the signal strength.
4. Battery Power
On RC-955, depress this button, at anytime to display the useful battery life
remaining on the LED segments. On RC-959, battery life displays on the main screen.
Batteries must be replaced when
appears on RC-959.
5. Power Button
Depress to switch power on and enable operation. Depress again to conserve battery
power when not in use.
