79-15054-00 Rev. C http://www.fiberstars.com Page 13 of 18 Repeater Dome Repeater Mounting The WPC-2 is equipped with a signal repeater that can be mounted up to 10 feet from the WPC-2unit. This repeater receives signals from the wireless remote and sends that signal to the WPC-2via 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 furthestwhere 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 theDome and Base approximately where the locking dimples are located. Pry the Dome out of thelocking dimples. Then carefully insert the small flathead screwdriver into the groove betweenthe Dome and the Base in an adjacent locking dimple and pry the Dome out. Then separate theDome 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 12o’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 ensurethat the wire is exiting the base through the slit and the Locking Dimples are aligned with thelocking holes. Apply enough pressure so that the Dome “snaps” into the base. NOTE: Do not stuff the remainder of the Repeater wire into the WPC unit.

Foroperation with the wireless transmitter, the switches need to be in the REMOTE position. To manuallyturn ON the devices connected to either Circuit 1 orCircuit 2, flip the switches to the ON position. Whena circuit is in the ON position, the Wireless Remotewill not be able to turn OFF the respective circuit. To turn OFF the devices manually, flip the respectiveswitch to the MIDDLE or OFF position. NOTE: Inthe OFF position, the wireless remote operation willbe bypassed. To re-enable the wireless remoteoperation, flip the switch back to the REMOTE position. NOTE: If the units turn ON when theswitch is returned to the REMOTE position, simplyuse the wireless remote to turn OFF the units ifdesired. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS For Synchronization of Circuit 1 and Circuit 2 Circuit 2 control Circuit 1 control WIRELESS REMOTE OPERATION NOTE: The toggle switches on the WPC-1 must be set to REMOTE for wirelessoperation. The POWER ON/OFF buttonscontrol the individual circuits independently.With each push of the button, the WPC-1 toggles the individual circuits from ON to OFFand vice versa. For Synchronization operation,simply push the SYNC ON/OFF button.NOTE: If all circuits are off when the SYNCON/OFF button is pressed, all circuits will beturned to ON. If any one of the circuits are inthe ON state by the wireless remote, then whenthe SYNC ON/OFF button is pressed allcircuits will be turned OFF and the SYNCON/OFF must be pressed to turn all circuits onsimultaneously.

In the example below, the current time is set for 9:00 pm. NOTE: Only turn the Timer dial clockwise or the timer will be damaged. Once the time has been set to the current time, setthe hours of the Pump operation by “snapping” the timer tabs inwards towards the center.NOTE: Each tab represents 15 minutes of operation and tabs set inwards towards thecenter is for OFF operations and ON when the tabs are set outwards as illustrated. In the example below, the Pump will be off from 12:00 pm to 11:45 pm. Once the time and time of operation has been set, ensure that the Timer function switch is set toAuto for timer control of the Pump as illustrated below. To turn off timers automatic functions,set the Timer function switch to OFF. To manually turn on the Pump, set the Timer functionswitch to the ON position. NOTE: When in the ON position, the Pump will continue to rununtil the Timer function switch is set to Auto where the tabs at the Set Point is in the OFFposition or if the Timer function switch is rotated to the OFF position. Apply the timer label to the timer cover plate. Close the timer cover firmly after timer is set.

RECEIVER DIP SWITCHES – Turn OFF power to the WPC-2 from the circuit breaker on the Load Center or from Main Power. Open the enclosure door. Unscrew and remove the Load Center Cover Plate. Place the Cover Bracket in a safe location. Unscrew and remover the Switch Bracket. Disconnect the Molex connector that connects the Switch Bracket controls to the receiver unit and set the Switch Bracket in a safe location where it will not be bent, scratched, or impact forces applied to the components or the face plate itself. Unscrew the four (4) screws holding the receiver to the base of the WPC-2 control box. Unscrew the four (4) screws located on the back of the receiver to release the cover. NOTE: Take notice of how the wires enter and exit the receiver.Remove the cover and look on the PCB to locate the DIP switch as illustrated. TRANSMITTER DIP SWITCHES – Remove all screws from rear of remote. Separate the bottom cover from the top cover. DIP SWITCH ADJUSTMENT – The four DIP switches have an ON and an OFF position. Changing just one DIP switch will change the code. MAKE SURE BOTH THE RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER HAVE THE SAMEDIP SWITCH SETTINGS. CODE ADJUSTMENTS
