Quick Start
1. Mount PowerPack & Core (engine bay, on top of battery, or cab).
The hardware is water resistant but not rated for full submersion.
2. Feed PowerPack hot (larger 2 gauge wire) & ground (smaller 16
gauge wire).
3. Download Free RC app. www.RideController.com
4. Connect via Bluetooth by pressing the top left hand corner
wireless connection icon.
5. Default Passcode is 000000 (please change your passcode). To
edit passcode click the wireless connection icon again once
connected to RC Pro.
6. To reset PIN Code hold down the reset button on the backside of
RC PowerPack for at least 60 seconds.
7. Wire your accessory hot into one of the 8 RC PowerPack 30 AMP
hot outputs. Chassis ground / battery ground the accessory.
8. Now you will be able to turn that accessory on or offvia the RC
App.

Introduction
The RC Pro is a modular network that has 8 (max 64 with 8
PowerPacks) powered outputs rated @ 30AMPs each along with
integrated self healing fuses. The RC Pro modular system is
controlled via the RC Pro - Core (smart controller) and up to 8 daisy
chained RC - PowerPacks which handle all the power distribution.
This is one of the first wireless circuit controllers that enables up to
64 output channels that can be controlled from a smartphone /
tablet, physical switch inputs, and in the future a dedicated
touchscreen. This is a true plug and play system that is simple
enough for anyone to install.
RC Pro - Core
The Core is the smart controller for the RC Pro network. The RC
Core communicates via a wired CANBUS communication network.
This allows the end user to daisy chain multiple RC PowerPacks to
one RC Core in effect giving users the ability to control up to 64
ouputs (each PowerPack has 8 outputs). The RC Core supports
Bluetooth 4.0+ and has the ability for a remote mount external
bluetooth antenna, this game changing feature allows RC Pro to
deliver industry best bluetooth range for smartphone / tablets
connected to the RC Core. The Core will also monitor battery
voltage and shut down if the battery charge gets to low (this value
can be configured by end user in the app). Now couple that with the
intuitive RideController app designed for tablets / phones you get
an amazing end user experience.
RC Pro - PowerPack
The PowerPack manages all the power distribution on the RC Pro
network. Each PowerPack has 8 powered outputs rated @ 30AMPs
each along with integrated self healing fuses. You can daisy chain up
to 8 PowerPacks for up to 64 Outputs. Each of the 8 PowerPack
circuits have the ability to be used as a strobe, dimmer, or PWM 12V
DC output. The PowerPack with its cutting edge design elimates the
need for fuses with each circuit being a thermally self healing
output. If you draw to many AMPs the RC PowerPack will
automatically shut down that output.

RC Pro - SwitchPack
The SwitchPack is the externall trigger input for the RC Pro
network. The RC SwitchPack communicates via a wired CANBUS
communication network. This allows the end user to control outputs
on a RC Pro - PowerPack via any 12 volt hot input. This hot input
could come from many 3rd party physical switches or even factory
Up Fitters on OEM vehicles for example Ford SuperDuty and Ford
Raptors. RideController gives you the capability to build the system
around your style and needs. With the dial switch on SwitchPack can
be mapped as follows.
