3 Relay Remote Touch
Tone Controller
May 26, 2005
The RC-3 enables a standard Touch Tone
phone to control up to 3 maintained ON, main-
tained OFF, or momentary relay contacts from
a remote location. The RC-3 is fully user pro-
grammable and uses non-volatile E2memory.
Up to three RC-3’s can be daisy chained on
the same line to control up to nine relays.
The RC-3 features switchable 12V talk battery
allowing easy installation on the trunk port. In
addition, the unit can be connected directly to
a C.O. line or analog PABX/KSU station.

B. Expanding To Control From 4 to 9 Relays
Two or three RC-3’s can be daisy chained to the same line to control 1 to 9 relays. One “master” RC-3 can power up
to two “slave” RC-3’s by daisy chaining power from terminals 9 and 10. The master/slave shunt should be removed
from each slave unit. This will disable each slave’s ring detection and will also reduce the total REN loading on the line.
Note: Each unit must be programmed separately before connecting to the same line (see Programming), and must be programmed
with the same access code. Battery Feed switches on the slave units must be in the “OFF” position.
A. Entering the Programming Mode
a. Connect a Touch Tone phone to the RJ-OUT jack.
b. Place the BATTERY FEED switch in the ON position.
c. Come off hook.
d. Enter ✱and the security code (factory set to 845464).
e. Two beeps should be heard. You are now in the programming mode.

The Security Code number allows the user/installer to change the unit’s programming. To enter your own Security
Code, follow the steps below:
1. Enter the programming mode (see section Aabove), two beeps should be heard.
2. Enter your new 6-digit security code (0-9), then “#22”, two beeps should be heard.
Your personal Security Code number is now programmed. The Security Code can be reprogrammed as often as need-
ed (see Programming, section C). Important: The Security Code and the Access Code can NOT be the same!

D. Confirmation Beeps During Programming
There are three types of beeps during programming. A double beep indicates a valid entry. A single beep followed by
a double beep indicates an invalid entry or error. Four beeps indicates either 20 seconds have elapsed from the last
Touch Tone entered or the wrong Security Code was entered. When programming remotely, the RC-3 will output four
beeps then hang up if the 20 second Touch Tone time out is exceeded or the wrong security code is entered, you must
then re-call the unit and re-enter programming. If you are programming locally, you can re-enter programming simply
by re-entering ✱and your Security Code.

A. Immediate Access Mode
Go off hook on the C.O. line or access the trunk port of your phone system that the RC-3 is connected to. With the
Access Code disabled you can now immediately enter the Touch Tone commands for controlling the RC-3’s relay out-
puts (see Operation, section Cbelow). Note: If the time between key strokes exceeds 20 seconds, four beeps will
be heard but you may continue to enter commands.
B. Remote Access Mode
Call the RC-3 from a remote location. The unit will answer and give two beeps after the programmed ring delay (see
Programming section C). Enter a ✱and the six digit Access Code (if enabled), two beeps should be heard for the cor-
rect Access Code entry. You can now enter the Touch Tone commands for controlling the RC-3’s relay outputs. Note:
You can continue to enter Touch Tone commands as long as the time between key strokes does not exceed 20 sec-
onds. If you exceed 20 seconds, four beeps will be heard and the unit will hang up.

Description
1. Relay 2 activating from a remote location with the access code
programmed to 123456 and enabled
2. Starting the timed activation of Relay 3 locally, with the RC-3 on an
unused trunk input of your phone system, access code disabled
3. Remotely stop the RC-3 from calling you (three times if not
disabled) during an alarm sequence

To control the RC-3’s operation, enter one of the following commands:
To force the RC-3 to hang-up (four beeps) .................................................................................................................

E. Confirmation Beeps During Operation
There are four types of beeps you will hear while controlling the RC-3. A single beep should be heard after de-acti-
vating relays, two beeps after activating relays, three beeps after a “halt” command or incorrect entry (error), and four
beeps if 20 seconds have elapsed between Touch Tone commands or a forced hang-up command is entered.
F. Alarm Dialing (Loop start C.O./Centrex line and PABX station applications only)
The RC-3 can be used as an emergency dialer, activated by a continuous contact closure between terminals 8 & 9.
Five seconds after the closure is made, the RC-3 will pulse dial (10 pps) the programmed number, hold the line for
approximately two minutes, then hang up and repeat this sequence two more times. This sequence can be halted by
entering a Touch Tone # locally or at the dialed location. The RC-3 will output a single beep every 5 seconds while the
alarm is set (Terminals 8 & 9 are closed), indicating the alarm condition. The RC-3 requires a minimum of a 5 second
reset or open between terminals 8 and 9 before initiating a second alarm dialing sequence. Note: The RC-3 will not
initiate a alarm dialing sequence during user operation or programming. Therefore, a continuous contact closure is rec-
ommended. Due to the RC-3’s 12 digit (maximum) alarm dialing number, the RC-3 should not be placed behind a PABX
when long distance dialing is required.
F. Relay and Answer LED’s
The relay status LED’s are labeled RELAY 1, RELAY 2, RELAY 3 and light whenever relays 1, 2 or 3 are closed. The
fourth LED is labeled ANSWER. This LED lights when the RC-3 has answered or seized the line and will flash during
alarm dialing.
G. Operating Examples
O
Ot th he er rA Ap pp pl li ic ca at ti io on ns s
The RC-3 can remotely control three door
strikes from any station on your PABX.
After verbal confirmation from the door-
box, the person on the control phone sim-
ply has to access the trunk or station con-
nected to the RC-3, then enter the relay
activation code for that door strike.
C. Relay Commands
To use the RC-3’s relay commands, enter the relay number (1-3 for a single unit or 1-9 for multiple units) then enter
one of the following commands:
To activate a relay continuously (latch) ..........................................................................................................
To de-activate a latched relay ........................................................................................................................
To activate a relay momentarily (timed activation - factory set to 5 seconds)) ................................................
To interrogate relay status (one beep = de-activated, two beeps = activated) ................................................
