Wiring in Power Lines
 120VAC systems: 120VAC systems are prewired using a standard 110V plug with supplied
+13.5VDC adapter.
 +12VDC Systems: The +12V adapter cord can be used for +12V systems by simply cutting the
cord to length and wiring the lead with the white stripe to +12V and the
black only lead to Ground. *Note–Optional power converter may be nec-
essary for non-standard voltage.
 24VAC Systems: Use special connectors; contact us at [phone]
General Information:
The radio remote control that you are installing can be used for most electrical
switching and control applications. Before beginning the installation and testing
you should check that each item listed below is available and in good
condition.
1. Antenna: Magnetic mount antenna with 15ft of cable.
2. Receiver: Usually pre-wired inside for most systems.
3. Transmitter: Hand-held controller with pushbuttons.
4. Batteries: (2) AA NiMH battery rechargeable for transmitter.
*****Batteries need charged prior to first use*****
Operator may use (2) AA alkaline batteries instead.

Maintenance Notes
 The receiver box should be kept dry and should be periodically dusted off.
 Check the transmitter’s batteries weekly. Only use two (2) AA alkaline or equivalent rechargeable
batteries. When the batteries are weak the Transmitter’s LED will light on red and off slowly and
you may notice some reduced operating range.
 Clean the antenna periodically with mild soap and water; do not immerse in water. Allow to dry
completely before use.
 If unit is to be returned for service, please clean the transmitter and the receiver before sending it
back. Visit www.rfhero.com/request-rma.php to issue an RMA for system maintenance.

Wiring In Control Lines
RFHero™ remote systems are wired to work with a variety of
insulation machines. To easily adapt to other makes and models, please use the provided UAX-
100 adapter cable and simply use the correct plug end for your machine. The most popular wiring
convention that many insulation machine manufactures use is:
Green–Common Voltage
White–Blower/Air
Black-Material Feed
To utilize the UAX-100 simply use the following color code:
UAX-100
Green

Operating Instructions
1. Place two (2) AA batteries in the transmitter. The LED on top will flash red a few times. Once this
stops, pressing any button on the transmitter will cause the LED on top to rapidly flash green.
2. Plug the Falcon Pro receiver power adapter into a powered outlet, then into the
Falcon Pro receiver. The Power LED (red) should now be lit.
3. After a few seconds the Communications LED should flash green three (3) times. If it flashes any
other number of times, then the mode is wrong. Please contact RFHero Support to quickly and
easily resolve this.
4. Pressing a button on the transmitter will cause the LED on the top of the transmitter to flash green
to indicate that the signal has been sent.
5. The Communications LED on the receiver will flash green/red (may appear orange) to indicate that
a valid message has been received from the transmitter. You may also be able to hear the relay
click inside the receiver. If the lid is removed from the receiver, you will also see the relay’s LED
turn on and off as the transmitter’s buttons are pressed.
6. If the Communications LED flashes red only, the transmitter is not paired with this receiver.
Please follow the directions on the next page titled, “Pairing the Falcon Pro Receiver and Transmit-
ter”.
7. Your system is now operational and ready for use!

“Remote Beacon” Transmitter Locater
Your new transmitter (the hand held pendant with the buttons) is equipped with the REMOTE BEACON.
When the transmitter is first powered on (i.e. putting in a fresh set of batteries) or awakened from it’s sleep state (i.e.
pressing any button when “asleep”) , it will emit a series of audible beeps to alert the operator that the Remote Beacon
feature is activated. The remote will function normally until one of the two following events occur:
 The operator puts the remote to “sleep”. To disable the Remote Beacon feature, simply hold the OFF button
down for about six (6) seconds. The remote will respond with a series of beeps, release the OFF button as soon
as the beeping begins. If you do not release OFF button quick enough, the remote will alert you that it is still
“awake” with another series of beeps a few seconds after the first series ends. If this occurs, repeat the process
and release the OFF button as soon as the beeping starts.
 The Remote Beacon feature self-activates. After approximately 60 minutes of inactivity (i.e. after the last button
press that was not a “go-to-sleep command”), the transmitter will emit a series of loud beeps at approx 1 minute
intervals. This “Beacon” alarm will continue for approximately 24 hours or until a button is pressed on the trans-
mitter (during a silent period, not when the alarm is going off). The action of pressing a button resets the 1 hour
timer and the remote will function normally again until it is “put to sleep” or 1 hour of inactivity occurs again.
Please remember to put your Transmitter “to sleep” after your job is complete to avoid an unwanted alarm trigger and
to preserve battery life (or remove batteries).

1. Locate the external learn button adjacent to the control cable of the Falcon Pro receiver.
2. Repeat steps 1 & 2 of the “Operating Instructions” section on the previous page. You have 60 seconds to
complete the Learn Mode procedure once step 2 is complete.
3. After the Communications LED flashes three (3) times, press and hold the Off button on the transmitter.
4. Press and hold the Learn button in the Falcon Pro receiver.
5. Release the Off button on the transmitter for five (5) seconds.
6. Press the Off button on the transmitter again.
7. Release the Off button on the transmitter and the Learn button on the Falcon Pro receiver.
8. The Communications LED on the Falcon Pro receiver should now flash green/red (may appear orange) when a
button on the transmitter is pressed.
9. Replace the lid and screws on the Falcon Pro receiver.
10. The transmitter and Falcon Pro receiver are now paired together.
Pairing the Falcon Pro Receiver and Transmitter (Learn Mode)
ATTENTION!
This section contains the pairing instructions for REPLACING or ADDING an additional remote
transmitter. Your new transmitter and receiver are already paired from the factory and this
procedure is unnecessary for a new Falcon Pro kit.
Basic Troubleshooting
 If the transmitter’s LED flashes red slowly several times then stops, the batteries should be replaced or
recharged.
 Make sure that the red Power LED is lit when the Falcon Pro receiver is plugged in.
 If operational range seems reduced, check the antenna for a broken wire or loose connection.
 Verify that the Falcon Pro receiver blinks green three (3) times anytime power is turned on.
 Verify that the control cable is securely connected, properly wired and undamaged.
 Be sure to check relay and fuses if any controls are not working.
 All units contain a built-in fuse tester and spare fuse. Refer to Falcon Top View on previous page.
