 PURPOSE:
The RCT creates repeating ON/OFF control for anything from changing fountain effects, strobing in lighting, continually cycled motorized or pulsing air operated props.   Also this product can be used as an automatic timer  to control  a fogger*.

OPERATION:
The RCT consists of two independent analog timers ( T1 & T2) wired so that T1 is the adjustable "ON" time of the AC socket, and T2 is its adjustable "OFF" time.  The "repeat cycle" process begins when the RCT is energized by turning ON  its 9-volt source of d.c. power.   With the unit energized,  and its A.C.  power cord plugged in, the unit's A.C. socket is powered whenever T1 is timing.   During T2, this socket is not powered. 

Thus this product repeatedly turns 120 volt A.C. power on and off to any device/s plugged into its socket.  The RCT can control more than one A.C. device,  up to its maxium current capability, so multi-socket adaptors may be plugged into the RCT's single socket.     The maximum current that may be switched is 10 amperes (resistive) which is the equivalent of 1200 watts of lighting.   Also motors up to 3 amps, running current, may be switched by this unit.  If greater motor amperage is required contact us about a spec unit  we can supply switching capabilities up to 3/4 horsepower motors with the RCT.

TIMING:
The standard RCT can have either/both of its two internal time intervals set from 0.1 sec up to a maximum of 140 seconds ( 2 mins 20 seconds).   Since it's an analog timer, time intervals can be adjusted to the nearest tenth of a second.

*Note: A fogger's wired remote must be modified  for use with our haunt timers.  The charge is  $ 12. (including parts, s/h fee) for this service (IF product is ordered at the same time).   Afterward your fogger's remote may either be automatically controlled by RCT or Flex ECT, Combo Flex ECT,   or manually  with its push button, as before.

The RCT circuit is operated from a 9-volt d.c. source, either a battery or our 9-volt Battery Eliminator .   It  has two(2) "power on" positions as seen in diagram below.   In the TEST position, two LEDs are used to indicate the two timing periods (T1 & T2),  so the user may visually or with a stop watch "adjust timing" for effect control.   If necessary this can be accomplished down to the nearest tenth of a second and without A.C. power.    After desired timing is established with the knobs,  the RCT is operated with its power switch in the ON position under battery power. This position saves significant drain on a battery because the LEDs don't light.   With a new alkaline battery the unit will operate 6-hours per night for approx. 4 nights.
