The RC-85 transmitter (car accessory)

The RC-85 is a component of Jablotron’s Oasis 80 alarm

system. It is designed to be installed inside cars with a

voltage supply of 12 to 24 V to remotely control electrical

appliances (e.g. garage doors or parking gates), in a similar

way to the RC-80 keyfob. It can also be used for sending

an alarm signal from a car.

The transmitter is not continuously powered and only

transmits a signal when connected to the power supply. It

can be configured whether a signal is sent instantly or only

after two applications of the power supply within 2 seconds.

Installation

Install the transmitter into the car’s interior (e.g. in the

dash-board) It should not be installed directly onto a metal

surface (it adversely affects the transmitter’s radio

range). We recommend securing the transmitter onto a

plastic part of the car with screws. The wires also serve

as an antenna so they should not be shorter then 30cm.

Wiring

Black

GND

Red

Connecting to a positive

voltage supply sends a SET

(arm) signal

White

Connecting to a negative

voltage supply sends an

UNSET (disarm) signal

By connecting both wires to a voltage supply a

panic signal is sent (= both buttons are pressed

simultaneously).

• For operation in a car it is possible to use existing

switches in the car (full-beam headlight flash switch,

horn – it is recommended to have the double-pulse

reaction enabled), or, alternatively, any other suitable

additional switches can be installed.

Example of wiring in a car

• To send alarm information from a car to an Oasis

system, connect the red and white wires to the car

alarm output where a positive voltage supply is

present during an alarm (e.g. the siren output).

Caution: Avoid using this output for confirming car

alarm operation (this would cause false alarms).

Double-pulse reaction

As a factory default, the transmitter will send a signal

immediately after being connected to a power supply. This

behaviour can be changed by connecting a jumper (link) inside

the transmitter. After that, both inputs will react only when a

voltage supply is connected for the second time within 2

seconds. This corresponds to a double-press of a button. This

feature allows you to prevent the appliances from reacting to

changes in voltage supply which are due to standard car

operation, e.g. turning lights on/off. If both inputs are switched

simultaneously to a voltage supply, a panic signal is always sent

immediately after the power supply has been connected for the

first time, regardless of the jumper setting.

Enrollment to a receiver

Enrolling the RC-85 transmitter is the same as in the case of the

RC-80 keyfob. But instead of pressing the buttons, the two wires

get connected to a voltage supply.

Notes about RC-85 functions

The RC-85 only sends a signal at the moment of

connecting the wires to a voltage supply. For the next

transmission, the voltage supply must first be disconnected

and then connected again. The functions of each wire are

independent – if one wire is permanently connected to a

voltage supply, the other one still works.

For controlling appliances, the UC-82 or AC-82 receivers can

be used (the transmitter is enrolled to the receiver by activation –

see the manual for the particular receiver).

For acoustic signalling, the doorbell function of the JA-80L

indoor wireless siren can be used (the transmitter is enrolled

to the siren by activation – see the manual for the siren).

For reporting a car alarm to an Oasis alarm system, the

transmitter can be enrolled to the Oasis control panel or to

the UC-82 receiver. In enrollment mode, connect both RC-

85 wires (red and white) to a positive voltage supply and

keep them connected for about 3 sec. (the same effect as

simultaneously pressing and holding a keyfob’s buttons).

When the car alarm is triggered connect power to the red

wire to transmit a signal. The device reaction in the Oasis

system is set to 4 (24 hours).
