ß TROUBLESHOOTING
No on/off control:
Check the transmitter’s battery, if applicable. If it is ok, then:
1. Ensure that the face of the RM-2 has a clear view of the transmitter.
2. Make sure that the power strip has power, is turned on, and the devices
plugged into the controlled outlets are turned on.
3. Ensure that the RM-2 is securely connected to the jack labeled SENSOR
on the power strip.
4. Check to see if the transmitter is set to the wrong address for the RM-2.
To test the RM-2 for correct operation, note the transmitter’s address setting,
then reset its address to the RM-2 Universal address (Group 16, Channel 9).
Test for on/off control. If control is established, the transmitter was not set
to the RM-2’s Primary or Secondary address.
Reset the transmitter and/or RM-2 with appropriate addresses.
(See “Address Planning” and “Setting Addresses”).
Other RM-2s or lighting systems are being controlled by the
transmitter:
1. Ensure that the transmitter being used is the correct one for the RM-2
being controlled.
2. Address settings may have been changed or are incorrect. Reset the necessary
transmitters and reprogram the RM-2 (See “Address Planning” and “Setting
Addresses”).
The RM-2 is responding to another transmitter:
The other transmitter has been set to one of the RM-2’s three addresses. It
may have been set to a Universal address for testing and not been reset to the
Primary or Secondary address of its related receiver(s). Change the address of
the transmitter and/or receivers as necessary to avoid conflicts. (See “Address
Planning” and “Setting Addresses”).

ß INSTALLATION
1. Plug the RM-2’s cable into the connector labeled SENSOR. The strip must
have a 6-position modular jack designed for an Isolé sensor.
2. Attach the back of the RM-2 to any hard, smooth, vertical surface with the
Velcro
®
tape supplied.
Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to set before pulling Velcro apart.
Note: Velcro adhesive does NOT stick to fabric. The RM-2 can be
attached to some fabrics by attaching only the “hooked” (not fuzzy) side of
the tape to the RM-2. The RM-2 then attaches directly to the fabric.
3. Plug in the power strip and turn it on.
4. If necessary, set the RM-2’s address.
5. Take care not to block the face of the
RM-2 with books, shelf items, clothing
racks, etc.
ß PLACEMENT
The RM-2 should be located so that its face has a direct line-of-sight view of
20 feet or less to the transmitter. Mount on an open vertical surface where
the line-of-sight to the transmitter is clear of obstructions.
Place the power strip in a convenient location for use.

ß ADDRESS PLANNING
Multiple occupants of an open plan office space can use RM-2s and other IRC
products without affecting each other's environments because of an addressing
system that identifies each transmitter. When a transmitter sends an infrared
signal, it identifies itself and only receivers that have been instructed to respond
to that address will listen.
IRC receivers respond to two programmable addresses (Primary and Secondary)
and one Universal (fixed) address. This allows individual and group control
scenarios and ensures that each receiver always has one known address.
If you will be using the RM-2 in an enclosed location, the choice of the program-
mable address(es) is not critical. It is simply important that the RM-2 and the
transmitters that are to control it have corresponding addresses. IRC addresses
consist of two parts, Group and Channel. The value for each part of the address
will be from 1 to 16. Both programmable addresses are factory set to
Group 1, Channel 1 while the Universal address is Group 16, Channel 9.
If you are using the RM-2 in a location where it could receive signals from
transmitters intended to control other receivers, it is likely that your RM-2
receiver and related transmitters have already been assigned addresses
during system commissioning. For information on address selection, refer to
documentation on the addressing scheme for your installation or to the IRC
Address Planning Instructions.
ß SETTING ADDRESSES:
If you need to set an address, you may use an IRC transmitter to perform the
programming. Please also refer to the instructions for the transmitter.
Make a note of the addresses you wish to program into the RM-2 and work
through the following steps to set both Primary and Secondary addresses.
You may not need to set a Secondary address (designed to allow RM-2s normally
controlled by individual transmitters on their Primary addresses to also be
controlled in a group by another transmitter). Please note that if the transmitter
you are using for programming has multiple modes of operation, it must be set
to the mode that allows the Off button to be used for programming (see the
transmitter's instructions).
1. Plug a device, such as a light, into one of the power strip's controlled outlets
so the on/off state of the outlet can be determined.
2. Use the necessary transmitters to turn on all IRC receivers within line-of-sight
and transmitter range. If only one transmitter is available, and adjacent
receivers are set to different addresses, this may be accomplished by
sequentially setting the transmitter to the Universal addresses of the receiver
types present and turning on each type of receiver. This prevents accidental
reprogramming, since a receiver can only be reprogrammed when it is off.
3. Use a transmitter to turn off only the RM-2 that is to be programmed.
If necessary, shield the infrared transmission away from other receivers by cupping
your hand around the signaling area of the transmitter while leaving a small
opening directed at the RM-2. If the present programmable address of the
RM-2 is unknown, use the Universal address, Group 16, Channel 9.
4. Set the transmitter to the new Primary address that you want to program
into the RM-2.
Before proceeding, if you want to set a Secondary address, ensure that you
can quickly reset the transmitter to the new Secondary address setting after
step 6, as step 7 must be completed within 30 seconds.
5. Press and hold the Off button on the transmitter for 15 seconds until the
power strip's controlled outlets turn on, then release the button.
6. Press the Off button again. The outlets will turn off for 3 seconds and then
turn back on. This confirms that the Primary address has been set. If this step
is not completed within 30 seconds of step 5, the operation is cancelled
and the address will not be changed.
If you don't plan to use a Secondary address, press the Off button again
and proceed to step 8.
7. Set the Secondary address on the transmitter and press the Off button.
The outlets will turn off and stay off, confirming that the Secondary address
has been set. If this step is not completed within 30 seconds of step 6, the
Secondary address will automatically be set to match the Primary address
set in step 6.
8. Reset the transmitter to the desired address (Primary, Secondary or Universal).
9. Press the On & Off buttons on the transmitter to confirm proper on/off
switching of the power strip's controlled outlets.
If you will be using the RM-2 with a CS-200 transmitter, by giving both products
the same address, the RM-2 will be controlled by the top four buttons on
the CS-200 which normally control overhead lighting. To have the RM-2 be
controlled by the large On/Off button on the CS-200 (and in parallel with the
local controlled outlets), set the RM-2 Channel address to a number that is
3 higher than the CS-200 Channel address. For example, if the CS-200 uses
the factory set address of Group 1, Channel 1, program the RM-2 to respond
to Group 1, Channel 4. For further information on this and other address
planning details, please refer to the IRC Address Planning Instructions.
ß DESCRIPTION
The RM-2 is an infrared remote control receiver and part of the Watt Stopper’s
IRC family of products. It connects to selected Isolé power strips and allows
on/off switching of the controlled outlets via an IRC transmitter.
The RM-2 uses multi-level addressing that allows it and other IRC products to
be controlled individually, in selected groups, or universally.
