JuiceGoose RT-5 - Manual

INSTALLATION
REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control terminal should be connected to a latching switch
at the desired remote location. This remote switch should provide
only a dry contact closure, without voltage. The RT-5 contains a 12
VAC power supply inside the chassis to provide coil latching power
for the control relay. No external power supplies are needed other
than any required to operate remote control or alarm contacts. In
this configuration the remote contact closure will cause the RT-5 to
turn on. Opening this contact will cause the RT-5 to turn off.
EMERGENCY ALARM SHUTDOWN
Should it be desired that the RT-5 be forced off in the event of a fire
or other similar alarm, the contact terminal should be connected to a
relay that is held closed in non-alarm conditions. When this contact
opens the RT-5 will turn off.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
The RT-5 is ruggedly constructed from high quality components to
give years of dependable power for your equipment. In the unlikely
event of poor performance, however, the following checklist is in-
cluded to aid diagnosing a problem.
UNIT WILL NOT TURN ON
- Check that the unit is plugged in.
- Check the circuit breaker. In cases of malfunction or cur-
rent overload the circuit breaker will open. After a brief period, the
circuit breaker can be reset by pushing in the breaker button. If this
problem repeats check that the current requirement of the equip-
ment plugged into the 120 VAC outlet is not greater than 15 amps.
- Check the remote contact closure is being made. Operation
of the RT-5 can be checked by making local contact across the two
terminal positions. If this contact causes the RT-5 to turn on, the
fault is likely with the remote control switch or the wiring to it.
