BEFORE YOU BEGIN...
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure your installation will conform to all applicable codes and requirements.
INSTALLATION
POWER CONNECTIONS:
1. Warning, shock hazard: To service the load, disconnect main power. Do not use the manual ON/
OFF override switch to disconnect load for service.
2. If single phase connection (277V) perform the following steps:
a) Connect the power supply neutral wire to the White wire marked “N” on the board.
b) Connect the line wire to the Orange wire marked “L1” on the board.
c) Connect White wire “N” to Pink wire marked “PCC” on the board .
d) There should be no connection to the Brown wire marked “L2” on the board.
3. If leg to leg connection (480V) perform the following steps:
a) Connect one line wire to the Orange wire marked “L1” on the board.
b) Connect the second line wire to the Brown wire marked “L2” on the board.
c) Connect Brown wire “L2” to Pink wire marked “PCC” on the board.
d) There should be no connection to the White wire marked “N” on the board.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS:
1. Connect the load to the GREY wire (normally open), or the BLUE wire (normally closed)
lead, and the VIOLET wire (common) lead.
2. See the "Relay Output" section in the specifications for maximum current and voltage
ratings.
EXTERNAL SWITCH:
1. Connect a switch to the removable terminal block. The switch may be any dry-contact switch
or relay. When the contact is closed the output relay will remain energized. When the switch
is opened the relay will default back to the last PCC command received.
2 The External Switch is only operational while the ON/OFF/AUTO switch is in the "AUTO”
position.
3. The External Switch is not required for proper operation of the unit - only use if this feature
is desired.

RB304 Installation Instructions

PROGRAMMING: (Restore the Power)
1. Upon power-up the RB304 will be in RUN mode. This will be indicated by the red
STATUS LED blinking for 1/2 second every 3 seconds.
2. Program 1 Mode:
a) Setting the address: Hold in the PROGRAM push-button for approximately 3
seconds. After this 3 second period release the button and make sure the STATUS
LED is on steadily. This indicates the RB304 is in the PROGRAM 1 mode.
b) Using a separate transmitter, transmit the desired letter and number code twice in
succession.
- When the RB304 accepts 2 identical letter and number codes it will blink the
STATUS LED 2 times. The RB304 is now set to that address and will default to
polite.
- To disable polite mode, send 2 additional letter/number codes. The LED will blink
4 times. To enable polite mode again, simply program another address.
- If no code is received, or if two different letter and number codes are received, then
the STATUS LED will continue to be on steady and the RB304 will remain with the
last programmed letter and number code.
c) Setting "Rude" Mode: If the address is pressed 2 more times (total of 4) then the
unit will be set to "Rude Mode", ie. No collision detection. The LED will flash 4 times
to acknowledge "Rude Mode". To return to "Polite" Program 1 Mode must be reprogrammed.
d) The RB304 may also be programmed to respond to “ALL LIGHTS ON” , ALL LIGHTS
OFF" and “ALL UNITS OFF” commands. To enable each command, transmit the
command twice in succession. The STATUS LED will blink 6, 10, or 8 times respectively if it receives any command twice. All 3 of these commands can be enabled at
the same time, but must be programmed one at a time. To disable all the commands,
exit and reenter program mode and program the RB304 for a different letter and
number code.
e) The user may exit the PROGRAM 1 mode by pressing the PROGRAM push button
once or wait for 60 seconds at which point the RB304 will return to the RUN mode,
but if "time out" is to be set, proceed to Program 2 Programming.
3. Program 2 Mode: (Setting the "time out" ON or OFF period)
a) The RB304 has the ability to automatically time-out to either ON or OFF (user selectable). For instance, it may be desirable for the unit to always wait 2 hours following an
OFF command and then turn itself back ON. Or the user may wish that the unit wait a
certain number of hours and then always turn itself back OFF. To program this
feature: While in Run Mode, enter the PROGRAM 2 mode by pressing the PROGRAM push button 3 times quickly. The button must be pressed and released 3
times within 1 second to enter this mode. The STATUS LED will blink each time the
button is pressed and then stay on continuously.
b) Using a separate transmitter, transmit ON twice (to default to ON) or OFF twice (to
default to OFF). The transmitter must be set to the same letter code as the address
was set (in Program 1 programming).
- If RB304 accepts 2 identical letter/number/ON codes it will blink the STATUS LED
7 times.
- If RB304 accepts 2 identical letter/number/OFF codes it will blink the STATUS LED
8 times.
c) After the time out default state has been programmed, the time-out period can be
programmed.
- Transmit the address letter of the unit along with any 1-16 number code twice. 1
denotes 1hour, 2 denotes 2 hours and so on.
- When the time out period has been accepted the STATUS LED will flash 1 time and
then resume to being continuously on.
d) The user may exit the PROGRAM 2 mode by pressing the PROGRAM push button

once or wait for 60 seconds at which point the RB304 will return to the RUN mode.
ON/OFF/AUTO CONTROL SWITCH:
1. In the ON position the relay is energized at all times. The green RELAY status LED indicates
when the relay is energized.
2. In the OFF position the relay will never energize.
3. In the AUTO position the relay will be controlled by the PCC signal and the Remote Manual
Override Switch.
CHECKOUT
1. Test Operation:
Using a controller, transmit appropriate commands to ensure proper operation and
interference filtering. This product is compatible with standard X-10 systems.
2. If at any time the STATUS LED flashes off and on quickly without stopping, reset the RB304
by powering the unit down and back up. If the error returns and cannot be cleared through
a reset, the unit could need repair or replacement.
