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.

Setting the DIP switches
Set DIP switches #1 and #2 before finally closing the RC-88 unit as
below:
# OFF ON
1 Tamper contacts and radio
communication supervision
switched OFF
Tamper contacts and radio
communication supervision
switched ON
2 Remote control function -
button A (push the button’s
top)= set, B (push the
button’s bottom) = unset
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, 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.
