This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and

used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the

user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for FCC compliance could

void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Installation Instructions

1. Set the local address code in the receiver by switching dipswitches 5 and 6 inside of

the receiver. The default channel is Channel 1.

1. Turn power switch and colorwheel switch on the side of the PG2000 unit to OFF.

2. Remove PG2000 body.

3. Very Carefully straighten out the antenna on the receiver module.

4. Place receiver module on the left side of the unit next to the ballast. Look for the ribs

as a guide. The 4 pin plug should face the back of the unit and the antenna should face

forward. Use the double sided foam tape to hold the receiver in place

5. Plug the 4 pin connector from the PG2000 into the 4 pin connector from the RF2000.

The plug coming out of the RF2000 basically does a U turn and heads toward the

PG2000 plug. You may have to shift the receiver module around a bit to get your hands

in to make the connection

6. Drape the antenna forward into the fiber conduit area. It should stay on the outer

perimeter of this area curving around to the front of unit. Keep the antenna as straight as

possible.
