How to Change Channels on an RBC414 Controller

Learn how to select channels on the dual-channel RBC414 controller when pairing wireless switches to its two independently controlled loads.

What this guide covers

The RBC414 is a dual-channel wireless receiving controller, allowing two separate loads to be controlled from one unit. This guide shows how to switch between its channels when pairing wireless switches.

Before you start

  • Identify which connected load is on channel one and which is on channel two.
  • Decide which switches should control each load before starting the pairing sequence.
  • Keep the controller accessible until both channels and every paired switch have been tested.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Put the RBC414 into pairing mode in accordance with its data sheet.
  2. Use the channel-selection sequence demonstrated in the video to choose the required output.
  3. Pair the intended wireless switch with that selected channel.
  4. Repeat the process for the second channel, then test both loads independently.

Useful tips

  • Label the channels or connected loads before pairing; it avoids a surprisingly common game of electrical guess-who.
  • Use a short, sharp click on the wireless switch when pairing rather than holding the switch button down.
  • Test both channels before installing the switches permanently.

Troubleshooting

If a switch controls the wrong load, check which channel was selected when it was paired and repeat that pairing on the correct channel. If the controller will not change channel or enter pairing mode, refer to the RBC414 data sheet or contact REVBC technical support.
