INSTRUCTION SHEET AND TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
CAUTION: CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE
017TDC2, 017TDC-3 AND 018-2 NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED
BY THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE COULD
VOID THE USERS AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE DEVICE.
NOTE: BOTH PUSH BUTTONS ON THE 018-2 WILL TRIGGER THE 017TDC-2
SECURITY CODE SETTING:
You need to set the security codes for the 017TDC-2 or 3 receiver and the 018-2 transmitter for
security purposes.
The security code positions for the receiver must match the codes of the transmitter or
transmitters for these devices to communicate properly. (see Figure 2 below as an example)
To change the codes on your 018-2 loosen the transmitter's assembly screw and snap the front
cover open. Match the coding of the receiver. Figure 1 below shows the location of the DIP
switches for the 017TDC-2 & 3 receiver and the 018-2 transmitter.

017TDC-3 SWITCHING MODE SETTING:
The 017TDC-3 has two relays capable of being triggered together by one button from the 018-
2 transmitter or separately by the two buttons from the 018-2 transmitter. Set the relay control
switch to your desire mode by following the coding shown on the next page.
NOTE:
The 017TDC-2 has only one relay and is
triggered by any of the two buttons on
the 018-2 transmitter. "B" BUTTON

NOTICE REGARDING THE 018-2 TRANSMITTER
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE SECTION:
The 017TDC-2 & 3 and the 018-2 operates on radio frequency (RF) signaling and may have some problems being installed in
certain locations. Radio frequency (RF) signals are similar in principle as two people conversing. RF communications however are
more difficult to troubleshoot because RF modulates at frequencies that are not audible to human ears.
Let's say that you and I are comfortably conversing, if a person starts talking loud next to us, then we may start to go closer and
closer to each other until we can once again understand each other.
RF devices will work the same way. The first objective in troubleshooting is to spot the troublemaker, in this case, the offending
device. The offending device can be one or the combination of the following items: light dimmers, fluorescent lights, TV or computer
CRT displays and any piece of equipment using a switching power supply or "clock" oscillator (computers and other digital devices).
Additionally, ham and CB transmitters, remote controls, wireless phones, cellular phones, commercial taxi/police/aircraft radios,
microwave ovens, motion sensors, radar systems, and a myriad of medical and industrial RF devices.
As you can appreciate from the litany of devices above almost any perimeter can have multiple sources of RF noisemakers.
Deciding the final position for mounting the 017TDC will immensely improve your chances of installation success. Before screwing
the 017TDC receiver down, choose an initial location and use a 10 feet electrical cord and walk test the 017TDC's sensitivity to
receive the 018-2's signal. Once you have determine the most ideal spot, that is the place you will install the receiver.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Transmitter does not work
(LED lamp does not light)
Transmitter does not work
(LED lamp turns ON)
Receiver works intermittently
Battery is low
Battery is not properly installed
Transmitter is out of range
Wiring connections may be faulty
Security Code mismatch
Wiring connection may be faulty
RF interference
Security Code mismatch
Faulty power supply
Loose wiring connections or shorted wire
Replace the battery. Use an A23 size 12VDC Alkaline battery.
Reinstall the battery correctly (see battery polarity drawing above)
Move the transmitter closer to the receiver (see above article)
Check your wiring scheme refer to the 017TDC-2 & 3 instruction sheet.
See if your receiver and transmitter security code match (see front page)
Check your wiring scheme refer to the 017TDC-2 & 3 instruction sheet.
Read the article above regarding RF interference
See if your receiver and transmitter security code match (see front page)
Check the power supply for correctness of voltage and capacity
Carefully check all your wiring connections and tighten loose connections
