Flathead Screwdriver
Repeater Mounting
The WPC-04R is equipped with a signal repeater that can be mounted up to 10 feet from the
WPC-04R unit. This repeater receives signals from the wireless remote and sends that signal to
the WPC-04R via the 10 foot cable. Establish a location for the Repeater that is in line of sight
from where the wireless remote will be used most frequently and that is no more then 75 feet from
furthest where the remote will be used. NOTE: If extension is needed, use Fiberstars part
number 94-15098-00 and follow installation instructions supplied with the Repeater Extension.
To mount the Repeater, carefully insert a small flathead screwdriver into groove between the
Dome and Base approximately where the locking dimples are located. Pry the Dome out of on of
the locking dimples. Then carefully insert the small flathead screwdriver into the groove between
the Dome and the Base in an adjacent locking dimple and pry the Dome out. Then separate the
Dome from the Base by hand. Using the supplied self-drilling screws, locate a suitable mounting
surface and screw the base to this surface. Note that the marking “TOP” must be in the 12
o’clock position and the wire slit must be in the 6 o’clock position. Do not over tighten the
screws as it may damage the Repeater base. Realign the Repeater Dome to the Base and ensure
that the wire is exiting the base through the slit and the Locking Dimples are aligned with the
10 feet

WPC-04R ROCKER SWITCH OPERATION
The WPC-04R receiver box houses one rocker
switch. For operation with the wireless transmitter,
the switch needs to be in the DOWN or REMOTE
position. To manually turn ON the device connected
to the Rocker Switch, flip the Rocker Switch UP or
to the ON position. When the Rocker Switch is in
the ON position, the Wireless Remote will not be
able to turn OFF the device connected to the Rocker
Switch terminal. To turn OFF the device manually,
flip the Rocker Switch to the MIDDLE or OFF
position. NOTE: In the OFF position, the wireless
remote operation will be bypassed. To re-enable the
wireless remote operation, flip the Rocker Switch
back to the BOTTOM or REMOTE position.
NOTE: If the unit turns ON when the switch is
returned to the REMOTE position, simply use the
wireless remote to turn OFF the unit if desired.
