RP-C Regulatory Compliance and Approvals
This section provides information on regulatory compliance and approvals for the RP-C controllers.
Compliance and approvals for the various RP-C controller models differ depending on whether 24 VAC/VDC or 230 VAC input power is supported and whether wireless connectivity is supported. Most RP-C models are equipped with a wireless chip but some are not.
RP-C 24 V models with “-F” in the product name have wireless support:
RP-C-12A-F-24V, RP-C-12B-F-24V, RP-C-12C-F-24V, and RP-C-16B-F-24V
RP-C 24 V models with “-M” in the product name do not have wireless support:
RP-C-12A-M-24V, RP-C-12B-M-24V, and RP-C-16A-M-24V
RP-C 230 V models have wireless support:
RP-C-16A-F-230V, RP-C-16B-F-230V, and RP-C-16C-F-230V

Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
For the RP-C 24 V models with wireless support (FCC ID: DVE-RPC24), the following statements apply.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
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.
This device, and the antenna used with the device, must be professionally installed. This device may be operated only with the antenna with which it is authorized (see list below). Any antenna that is of the same type and of equal or less directional gain as the antenna that is authorized with the device may be used with the device.
