Commands 

5.4.1  Command Switches 

The command switches are labeled according to their function. 

 

If opposing commands are attempted, that is, two commands that conflict with each other, in most cases 
no function will result. In the case of 

ON/OFF

 

functions, 

OFF

 will predominate 

 

If more than one speed command is sent for the same function, the lower speed will predominate 

ON/ALARM  

This button turns on the transmitter and puts the system in the active mode. It sends an ALARM command to the 
receiver while the switch is depressed. The transmitter will remain active until the 

OFF/STOP 

button is pressed or 

the transmitter switches itself off (see 

Auto Off

). 

OFF/STOP 

While depressed, this button sends a STOP command to the receiver. The transmitter does not need to be 
switched ‘ON’ to send this command. When this switch is released, the transmitter will be switched off.

B, BOTH, and OFF each time the button is pressed. LED indicators show the control status. 

AUTO OFF 

The transmitter will switch itself off if no commands have been sent for a predetermined time. This time is 
normally set to 15 minutes but can be reset to 0

–60 minutes (or disabled) using a RAC16A Series Programmer 

(01 to 60 = minutes, 00 = disabled).
