PSC Bell and Light Power Supply with RF Remote Control Module Installed and Hand-held
Transmitter

DESCRIPTION:
This optional RF Remote Control System consists of a small, compact hand-held transmitter anda receiver module. The Hand-held transmitter operates on 433Mhz and is fully approved foruse in the United States, Canada and all of the European Union. The receiver module isdesigned to be installed in and will remotely control our fourth generation Bell and Light Power
Supply module. Using the RF remote control eliminates the need for the traditional cabled
remote control and also semi-automates the bell generation function to simplify your job on
set.

USE:
The use of this RF Remote Control is very simple. When the Director yells “Roll Camera” yousimply push the red “ROLL” button. The PSC bell and Light System will then generate a long

(two second) blast of the bells and turn on the red flashing lights. This will alert everyone in
and around the set to be quiet as filming has begun. At the end of the take, the director will
yell “Cut” and you press the green “CUT” button. The system will then generate two, one
second long blasts of the bell indicating that filming has stopped. At the same time, it will turnoff the red flashing lights and turn on the steady-state, soothing green lights to let everyone in
and around the set know they are free to move about and make noise.

SECURITY CODE SETTING:
The PSC Bell and Light System RF Remote Control uses a user set-able 10-bit security code. This
code is used to allow the transmitter and receiver to be paired up and operate together
without interference from other transmitters. This code selection is similar to the code
selection on a garage door opener. There are ten (10) small code selection switches in thehand-held transmitter and ten (10) small corresponding switches on the receiver module
printed circuit board. The switches must be set the same on both the transmitter and receiverin order for them to operate together. These switches have been set to a matching pair at the
PSC factory. We pre-set each set of transmitter and receiver modules for you so that you canuse them without going to the trouble of setting them yourself. We set each and every system
we build to a random setting so that no two PSC Bell and Light System RF Remote Controls havethe same settings. This will allow the systems to be used near each other such as in the case ofworking on a major film studio lot with multiple sound stages. Should you find that your system
is somehow being interfered with, you can change your individual codes at any time byfollowing the instructions here:
1.

Turn off the power to your Bell and Light Power Supply.

2.
Remove the top cover of the power supply by removing the 8 case screws (4 on eachof the left and right sides)
3.

Remove the tiny code access switch cover from the hand-held transmitter.

4.
Set both sets of switches so that they are identical. Please note that the switches onboth units are numbered 1-10 for your convenience. For example, set switches 1 through 4
to “ON” and 5-10 to “OFF”. Make sure both the hand-held transmitter and the receivermodule switches are set exactly the same.
5.
Re-install covers on both the Power Supply module and the code switch access coveron the transmitter. Power up the system and test to see if the system now works with the
new codes installed.
***SPECIAL NOTE*** You may not set all 10 switches to either ALL OFF or to ALL ON!!! The
code software within these units requires that at least one of the 10 switches be set to “ON”
and at least one of the 10 switches be set to “OFF”

Switches in photo are set as follows: 1,2 “ON”, 3,4 and 5 “OFF”, 6,7,8,9 and 10 are “ON”

INSTALLTION OF RECEIVER MODULE:
The receiver module is very simple to install, but it must be done with great care. There is a 16pin male right angle header (male connector) on the bottom of the receiver module printed
circuit board. This male connector must properly line up and mate with a female 16 pin socketon the power supply unit. Failure to properly align these two connectors can result in damage
to either the receiver module and/or the power supply. Please take you time and follow the
instructions listed below. Alternatively, you can send you power supply and receiver module
to PSC where we will be happy to install it for you free of charge. Shipping to and from PSC isyour responsibility. RF Receiver Modules and/or Power Supplies are not covered underwarranty for improper installation damage.
1.

Unplug the Bell and Light Power Supply from its AC power.

2.

Remove the access cover by unthreading the two thumb screws.

***NOTE*** connector has 2 BLUE dots on it in the photo.
You must align the 16 pin MALE connector on the Receiver Module with this 16 pin FEMALE
connector inside of the power supply unit. Be careful and go slow and it will be easy!

3.
CAREFULLY ALIGN the RF Receiver Module within the opening of the power supply.
You must make sure that you have the two thumb screws aligned EXACTY with theircorresponding threaded holes in the power supply housing. This will insure that the 16-pin
male connector is properly aligned with the 16-pin female connector inside the power supply.
Once you make sure that you have these two screws exactly aligned, gently press the board
into place. You should be able to feel the 16-pin male connector engaging with the 16-pin
female connector. If you have any issues with pressing the module into place, STOP and recheck your alignment of the two thumb screws with the threaded openings in the power
supply case. Once you are confident that you have pressed the module into place, you mustthen engage and hand tighten the two thumb screws. The white aluminum front plate on
the RF receiver module should now be fully seated against the front of the housing of thepower supply unit.
IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES WHILE INSTALLING THE RECEIVER MODULE, PLEASE DO NOT FORCEANYTHING, STOP AND CONTACT PSC AND WE WILL HELP YOU WITH THE INSTALLATION.

4.
Stop and set the operation mode switches on the front of the power supply to thecorrect positions for use with the RF Remote Control. The Left switch should be set to the
upward position so that it is switched to the “RF” control position. The Right switch should
be should also be set to the upward position so that it is switched to the “AUTO” mode. This
will allow the power supply to fully generate the Bell and Light actions required on set.

INITITIAL POWER UP AND TESTING:
Once you have finished installing and securing the two thumb screws on the receiver module,
you may now plug the power supply back into AC power. Take a look at the front of the RF
receiver Module. If you properly installed the module (aligned the 16 pin connectors correctly)
the BLUE “POWER” indicting LED will now be lit.
IF THE BLUE “POWER” LED IS NOT LIT, STOP, UNLPUG THE UNIT AND RE-CHECK YOUR
MODULE INSTALATION AND ALIGNMENT!!

DATA TRANSMISSION LED
There is a LED indicator on the front panel of the receiver module that is labeled “DATA” This
LED will light up Yellow when data has been successfully transmitted form the hand-heldtransmitter to the receiver module. Any time you press either the “CUT” or “ROLL” buttons on
the transmitter, the yellow “DATA” led will light up. This is an easy way to check to see if yourtransmitter is properly talking to the receiver module.
