The RC-88 wireless wall button
The RC-88 is a component of Jablotron’s Oasis 80 alarm system. It is
designed to be a remote control for setting/unsetting (arming/disarming)
an alarm system, triggering panic alarms or remotely controlling other
appliances. The battery-powered wireless button communicates via
OASIS radio protocol.
Installation
If it is to be used as a panic button, then it must be installed together with
the bottom part of its housing and the tamper contacts must be switched on.
Do not install the button on a metal surface (it adversely affects the range of
its transmitter).
• Remove the top part of the housing (using a screwdriver from the right/left
side).
• Release the bottom part of the housing by pressing the 4 tabs in the
corners.
• Install the bottom part to the desired place.
• Reunite the housing containing the electronics with the installed part of the
housing (the tamper spring should press against the wall where the unit is
to be installed, via the hole in the bottom housing).
• Configure the functionality using the DIP switches (see the below section
called ‘Setting the DIP switches’).
• Enroll the RC-88 button to its receiver or control panel according to the
relevant manual.
• Reunite the top housing with the rest of the housing to complete
installation.

Panic button function (button A or B
sends a panic signal, i.e. any
pushing)
Using the button with an Oasis JA-80K panel
When used with a control panel, the tamper contacts should be switched
on (DIP switch # 1 in the ON position).
1. Enter enrollment mode on the control panel by keying in “1” in Service
mode (the desired device address can be chosen by the arrow keys).
2. Install a battery into the RC-88 to activate enrollment.
3. Exit enrollment mode by pressing “#”.
If DIP switch # 2 is OFF, the Natural reaction of the control panel is
remote control - button A = set and button B = unset. If any other
reaction is set in the control panel, it will only be valid for button A.
If DIP switch # 2 is ON, then the natural reaction of the control panel is a
panic alarm – triggered by pressing button A or B.
Testing the RC-88 using a control panel
In service mode, an Oasis control panel can check the radio signal
strength of an enrolled RC-88 button (see control panel manual).
Using the RC-88 as a doorbell button
If the RC-88 is to be used with a JA-80L indoor siren as a door bell
button, set DIP switches #1 and #2 to the OFF position. Enrollment is
described in the JA-80L manual.
Using the RC-88 to control electrical appliances
The RC-88 button can also be used with other Jablotron products which
communicate via Oasis radio protocol, e.g. relay receiving modules series
UC-8x and AC-8x (see the manuals of these particular products for
details). For these applications we recommend switching DIP switches #1
and #2 OFF.
Note: The RC-88 can be enrolled to several receivers at once.
Battery replacement
If the button is used with an Oasis control panel and DIP switch # 1 is ON,
then the control panel monitors the voltage of the RC-88’s battery and if too
low, the control panel informs the installer or user. The button continues to
function but battery replacement should not be delayed by more than two
weeks. This should be done by a qualified technician with the control panel
in Service mode.
Expired batteries should not be thrown into the garbage, but disposed of
according to local regulations.
Always test the proper functioning of the RC-88 after battery replacement.
