Operating Instructions

The RT-3 system is designed for straightforward operation. Each button on the transmitter corresponds to a specific channel on the receiver units.

• Transmitter Buttons: The transmitter features three distinct buttons. The function of each button is determined during the system's configuration. Typically, one button controls one receiver channel.
• Activation: To activate a specific function, press and hold the corresponding button on the wireless transmitter for approximately one second.
• Deactivation: Depending on the receiver's configuration (e.g., momentary, latching), pressing the button again may deactivate the function, or it may automatically deactivate after a set time.
• Range: Ensure the transmitter is within effective operating range of the receiver units for reliable communication. Environmental factors can affect range.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your RT-3 system.

• Battery Replacement: Replace the transmitter battery when the indicator light (if present) signals low power, or if the range and responsiveness decrease. Use only the recommended battery type.
• Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the transmitter and receiver units with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the units are kept in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
