Review on πŸ”Œ Enhanced Intermatic RC613 Receiver: Convenient On/Off Button & Sleek Color Design by Malleswar Man

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well to remotely control my LED pool lights

Bought to remotely control my LED pool lights. The pool company that built my pool only provided a simple switch which is located in the equipment area of the pool which is quite a distance from the pool. Initially, I simply unplugged the existing on/off switch and connected the same wires to the RC613 (disconnect the switches first, of course!). However, it didn't work. After carefully reading the instructions provided, I found that the white wire needed to be connected to the neutral on the 120V side. So I switched the breakers off again and reconnected the white RC613 wire to the 120v neutral wire and the black wire to the 120v side of the wire and the remaining red wire - to the load from the led lamp. This was a little tricky as the junction box used red for the 120v side line and black for the side load of the pool led lights so I had to wire black to red and red to black but after turning the switches back on , everything worked as it should. . If you are having trouble getting the RC613 to work, remember that the colored wires are not always the same. Always keep an eye on them to see where they're coming from and find out what they really are! Remote programming of the RC939 key fob worked as stated in their instructions. The only reason I don't give these two products 5 stars is the wireless range. I installed the RC613 outside of the junction box with the antenna up and as far away from interference and as close to line of sight as possible and the remote still barely works at 2.5-3m - I've had a better range hoped so, but overall I'm happy with these products and would recommend them. I hope this review helps those who are having trouble connecting the RC613 to their pool lighting circuit.
