Remove the factory installed jumper across the REMOTE INPUT
terminal. This terminal should then 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-15 contains a 12VDC 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-15 to turn on. Opening this contact will cause the RT-15 to
turn off. (NOTE: The Unswitched outlets on the front and back
will be live whenever the RT-15 is plugged in and will NOT turn
off with either the local or remote switch.)

FIRE ALARM SHUTDOWN
Should it be desired that the RT-15 be forced off in the event of
a fire or other similar alarm, in either a local or remote control
configuration, the INPUT contact terminal should be connected
to a relay that is held closed in non-alarm conditions. When this
contact opens the RT-15 will turn off regardless of the position
of either the local or remote switch.

ACCESSORY CONTACT OUTPUT
A second terminal on the back of the RT-15 chassis provides a
dry contact closure (i.e. no voltage) when the unit is turned on.
This terminal is attached to a normally open relay inside the
chassis. It can be used to activate powered equipment which
may be in “stand-by” mode. It can also be used to turn on an-
other RT-15.

OPTIONAL POWER CONDITIONING
As an optional feature, the RT-15 may contain the Juice Goose
RX Series Hybrid AC Filter. This protection circuit provides
60dB to 80dB of line noise reduction in addition to AC surge
protection on both normal (line — neutral) and common (neutral
— ground) modes. Surge protection reduces strikes of up to
6,000 volts to no more than 10 volts. RX Series protection also
provides over voltage shutdown and protection against wiring

faults.
