RFM181 / RFM181W Instruction Manual How to operate your fixture Step 1: Set both the remote transmitter and twin Par receiver to the same house code by turning the dial on the bottom of the sensor head and the bottom of the receiver to the same number. There are 16 different selections Step 2: Move slide switch on bottom of sensor head to “TEST”. Set sensitivity knob to medium (halfway). Step 3: Turn on power to receiver. Step 4: Aim sensor head toward desired detection area. Make sure sensor head is positioned with the control switches facing towards the ground and at a 15º down angle. Step 5: Walk across the detection zone at the farthest distance you wish your detector to detect motion. Adjust sensitivity until you get desired results. Step 6: Move slide switch to 4 MIN or 12 MIN (AUTO mode). At dusk your lights will operate in the AUTO setting. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Under Part 15 of the FCC Rules, any changes or modifications to the motion detector described in this instruction sheet that are not expressly approved by Cooper Lighting could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Warning: FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authorization to operate this equipment. How to select your desired feature Mode of Operation Slide switch position How to set power switch Auto Setting (motion activated) Remote sensor detects motion and sends an ON signal to receiver. Lights should turn off after 4 or 12 minutes after all motion stops. The transmitter contains a daylight sensor, which only allows lights to come on at night. 4 MIN Or 12 MIN Keep the power to the receiver on. Manual Override Lights should stay on continuously. It will reset to TEST or AUTO setting after 4 hours or you can reset manually by turning power off for 5 seconds and back on. TEST 4 MIN Or 12 MIN Turn power to the receiver off for 2 seconds and back to the ON position. TEST Setting Lights should turn on when the remote sensor detects motion, both day and night. Lights should turn off after 8 seconds after all motion has stopped. TEST Keep the power to the fixture on.

Response to TCB Findings Q: Please explain how the duty-cycle was determined Response: The manufacturer indicated that the maximum worst case scenario would be if the transmitters were made to transmit all "1" 's which would only allow for a maximum 50% duty cycle. Therefore the transmitter was continuously transmitting 1’s during the testing. Q: Please provide external pictures of the transmitter. Response: Supplied.

Operational Description

Theory of operation Module : T180 DC Description: Battery power motion sensing transmitter T 180 DC, is a battery powered motion sensing transmitter is part of the wireless remote light system. The circuit is powered by 4 AA alkaline battery ( 6V DC) and can be used for both indoor or outdoor. The transmitter consists of a passive infra-red motion detector, control circuit, encoder, 315 MHz SAW resonator and utilizes a copper trace antenna built into the PCB. The antenna trace is approximately 83 mm length and 1.3mm wide. The detector has 3 modes of operation, test, auto-4 minutes and auto-12 minutes; and one sensitivity adjustment for motion detection and one house code selection. The detector also has a built-in photo sensor to disable motion detection in auto mode during the day. During test mode, if motion is detected, it will send an encoded RF signal, “ON” command, with carrier frequency of 315Mhz to the receiver. The internal timer will time out in 8 seconds after motion ceased. The transmitter will then send an encoded RF signal, “OFF” command to the receiver. An LED indicator is flash on and off at this mode. Auto 4 minutes and Auto 12 minutes work the same as test mode except the photo circuit will disable motion detection during the day and the internal timer is either 4 minutes or 12 minutes, depending on the settings, instead of 8 seconds in the test mode. The LED indicator will flash only during the time when the RF signal is sent.

Note: The conducted emissions test was not performed since the EUT is battery operated with no means for connection to public mains. Product description: The product(s) covered by this report consisted of a battery operated transmitter, intended for use with lighting equipment . The transmitter is an intentional radiator operating at 315MHz and transmits when a motion detector detects motion. The transmitter cannot transmit again until no motion is detected from 4 to 12 minutes. After the 4 to 12 minute timer has expired the transmitter is then ready to detect motion again. The transmit duration is 2 seconds maximum (on time). For the purpose of testing, the unit was set to a 50% duty cycle. The equipment utilizes a maximum 2 second pulse that occurs at a maximum frequency of once every 4 minutes in normal operation. The enclosure is constructed of plastic in the shape of a semicircle with a 3cm radius and 5cm height and encloses the following components judged as critical: 1. A main board, part no. SMH201-2 Rev. 2. 2. An encoder board, part no. SMH201-4 Rev. 0. 3. A house code board, part no. SMH2010-3 Rev. 0. 4. Four new, fully charged AA Energizer industrial alkaline batteries.

EMC Testing Lab. (770) 781-9228 Test report no. 03-146A Page 8 of 1 1 8 8 Section 4 TEST METHOD INTRODUCTION: The product(s) covered by this report were subjected to electromagnetic interference emissions measurements to determine compliance with the FCC, Part 15 requirements. Radiated emissions were measured in accordance with Methods of Measurement of Radio-Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 Khz to 40 Ghz, C63.4. MEASUREMENT CALCULATIONS: Radiated Emissions : For radiated emissions measurements, the signal attenuation due to impedance losses in the antenna and signal cable was significant and was added to the spectrum analyzer reading to give corrected signal strength reading. If a preamplifier was used, the signal gain was subtracted from the signal strength reading.…
