INSTALLATION

REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control terminal should be connected to a latching switch

at the desired remote location. This remote switch should provide

only a dry contact closure, without voltage. The RT-5 contains a 12

VAC power supply inside the chassis to provide coil latching power

for the control relay. No external power supplies are needed other

than any required to operate remote control or alarm contacts. In

this configuration the remote contact closure will cause the RT-5 to

turn on. Opening this contact will cause the RT-5 to turn off.

EMERGENCY ALARM SHUTDOWN

Should it be desired that the RT-5 be forced off in the event of a fire

or other similar alarm, the contact terminal should be connected to a

relay that is held closed in non-alarm conditions. When this contact

opens the RT-5 will turn off.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

The RT-5 is ruggedly constructed from high quality components to

give years of dependable power for your equipment. In the unlikely

event of poor performance, however, the following checklist is in-

cluded to aid diagnosing a problem.

UNIT WILL NOT TURN ON

- Check that the unit is plugged in.

- Check the circuit breaker. In cases of malfunction or cur-

rent overload the circuit breaker will open. After a brief period, the

circuit breaker can be reset by pushing in the breaker button. If this

problem repeats check that the current requirement of the equip-

ment plugged into the 120 VAC outlet is not greater than 15 amps.

- Check the remote contact closure is being made. Operation

of the RT-5 can be checked by making local contact across the two

terminal positions. If this contact causes the RT-5 to turn on, the

fault is likely with the remote control switch or the wiring to it.

SERVICE

Should your unit require service, contact Juice Goose to receive a

service authorization number. This number will allow us to track

your returned unit. Please note that no returns will be accepted

without such a number.
