IDEAL Model RS1800 Plug Load Controller Installation Instructions
WARNING: This is a current rated device. Use in applications involving
amperage beyond its rating can be dangerous and cause electrical fires.
Wiring must comply with all applicable electrical codes.
Turn off power before removing or installing connector.
TERMINOLOGY
LINE(Black): Controller power feed to be connected to premise wiring
LOAD(Red): Power output Controller to AC outlet
Neutral(White): Incoming Neutral from premise wiring and outgoing AC outlet
CONNECTING THE WIRES
Input Power
The smart connector LINE(Black) and NEUTRAL(White) wires are 12 AWG stranded
copper conductors.
1. Strip wires to 1/2”.
2. Connect Controller Line Input to premise line power feed with appropriate sized wirenut or
push-in connector.
3. Connect Smart Connector Neutral Input to premise neutral feed with appropriately sized
wirenut or push-in connector..
4. For feed-through (i.e., “daisy-chain”) installations, connect the LINE hot feed-through
conductor into the wirenut in step 2. Also, connect the NEUTRAL feet-through conductor
connected without re-installing the wires. into the wirenut in step 3.
LOAD
The LOAD(red) and Neutral(White) wire are 18 AWG solid copper conductors.
1. Strip wires to 1/2”.
2. Connect Controller LOAD wire to the AC outlet with appropriate sized wirenut or push-in
connector if necessary.
3. Connect Controller NEUTRAL Output to the AC outlet with appropriately sized wirenut or
push-in connector if necessary.
4. For feed-through (i.e., “daisy-chain”) installations, connect the LOAD hot feed-through
conductor into the wirenut in step 2. Also, connect the NEUTRAL Output feed-through
conductor into the wirenut in step 3.
