1. Introduction and Overview
The Run Bison RC-100 Remote Control is designed for programming motion sensors integrated into LED Linear High Bay and UFO High Bay lighting fixtures. This device facilitates efficient configuration and management of lighting parameters across an entire facility.
The RC-100 utilizes bidirectional infrared communication, allowing it to send and receive sensor settings. It supports a maximum mounting height of 50 feet for effective communication with sensors. Key functionalities include displaying existing sensor parameters, copying settings, sending new configurations, and storing up to four distinct parameter profiles. This capability streamlines the configuration process for projects requiring consistent settings across multiple areas or sites.
Users can program and automate various settings, including brightness levels, motion sensor sensitivity, hold time (duration light stays on after motion), standby time, daylight sensor thresholds, and standby dimming levels.
2. Product Features
- Programmable Scenes: Create and store up to four customized lighting scenes or settings to meet specific operational requirements.
- Energy Efficiency: Facilitates energy savings through adjustable dimming options, particularly during off-peak hours or weekends.
- Standby Function: Allows lighting fixtures to transition to a low-level standby mode (minimum 10% capacity) during periods of low activity, distinct from motion sensor activation.
- Daylight and Motion Sensors: Adjust light intensity based on ambient daylight and detected motion. The RC-100 sensor has a detection range of 1 to 8 meters and features a 360° microwave sensor.
- Extended Range Control: Control sensors from a distance of up to 15 meters (approximately 49 feet).
- User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive button layout designed for comfortable, one-handed operation.
3. Getting Started and Package Contents
Before operating the RC-100, ensure all package contents are present.
The package typically includes:
- RC-100 Remote Control
- Storage Bag
- Instruction Manual (this document)
Note: Batteries are not included and must be purchased separately.
4. Operating Instructions
The RC-100 remote control allows for precise adjustment of sensor parameters. Ensure direct line-of-sight between the remote and the sensor on the lighting fixture for optimal communication.
4.1 Button Functions
- BRIGHTNESS: Adjusts the maximum light output (70%, 80%, 90%, 100%).
- SENSITIVITY: Sets the motion sensor's detection sensitivity (20%, 50%, 75%, 100%).
- HOLD TIME: Determines how long the light remains at full brightness after motion is detected (10s, 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 30m, 60m).
- DAYLIGHT SENSOR: Configures the ambient light threshold for activation (Off, 10 lux, 30 lux, 50 lux, 100 lux, 300 lux, 500 lux).
- STAND-BY DIM: Sets the dimming level during standby mode (0%, 10%, 30%, 50%).
- STAND-BY TIME: Defines the duration the light stays in standby mode before turning off or returning to a lower state (∞, 1m, 30m, 60m). '∞' indicates infinite standby.
- ON/OFF: Toggles the light fixture power.
- DISP: Displays the current settings of the sensor.
- AUTO: Activates automatic operation based on programmed settings.
- OK: Confirms selected settings.
- SEND: Transmits the configured settings to the sensor.
- RESET: Resets the sensor to factory default settings.
- TEST (2s): Initiates a 2-second test mode for motion detection.
- MODE1, MODE2, MODE3, MODE4: Buttons to save and recall up to four custom parameter profiles.
4.2 Programming Steps
- Power On: Ensure the light fixture and its sensor are powered on.
- Select Setting: Use the directional arrows (▲ ▼ ◀ ▶) to navigate and select the desired parameter (e.g., BRIGHTNESS, SENSITIVITY).
- Adjust Value: Use the directional arrows to adjust the value for the selected parameter.
- Confirm: Press the OK button to confirm the value.
- Send to Sensor: Press the SEND button to transmit the new settings to the light fixture's sensor.
- Save Profile (Optional): To save a set of configurations for future use, press and hold one of the MODE1-MODE4 buttons until confirmation is received. To recall a saved profile, simply press the corresponding MODE button.
5. Programming Modes and Customization
The RC-100 allows for significant customization of lighting behavior. The four programmable modes (MODE1-MODE4) enable quick application of different settings for various scenarios.
The table above shows example default settings for the four modes. Users can modify these settings and save their preferred configurations to any of the MODE buttons.
5.1 Customizing and Saving Modes
- Adjust all desired parameters (Brightness, Sensitivity, Hold Time, Daylight Sensor, Stand-by Dim, Stand-by Time) using the steps outlined in Section 4.2.
- Once all settings are configured as desired, press and hold the target MODE button (e.g., MODE1) for approximately 2 seconds until the remote indicates the settings have been saved.
- To apply a saved mode, simply press the corresponding MODE button once, then press SEND.

7. Troubleshooting
- Remote Not Responding:
- Ensure fresh batteries are installed correctly in the remote control.
- Verify there is a clear line of sight between the remote and the sensor on the light fixture. Obstructions can block the infrared signal.
- Confirm the remote is within the effective operating range (up to 15 meters).
- Settings Not Applying:
- After adjusting settings, ensure you press the SEND button to transmit them to the sensor.
- Check for proper communication by pressing DISP to see if the sensor reflects the new settings.
- Inconsistent Motion Detection:
- Adjust the SENSITIVITY setting on the remote. Higher sensitivity detects smaller movements or movements at greater distances.
- Ensure the sensor on the light fixture is not obstructed and is clean.
