C ONTROLLING AN
IR M INI C ONTROLLER (IR543)
If you already own an IR Mini Controller,
you will need to change the X10 Home
Automation code in the remote to use it.
The code for standard X10 RF Home
Automation is 0999. The code to control
the IR Mini Controller is 0998. To change
the code:
2. Press and release
the X10 button.
3. Enter 0998 to
control an IR Mini
Controller, or 0999
for standard X10
control. The LED
turns off after the
last digit entered.
Note: In most cases, you will not need to
use the IR Mini Controller to receive
commands from the X10 Platinum Remote
– the RF Transceiver Module does this for
you and has the added advantage of
working through walls. You can if you
wish control the IR Mini Controller and
the RF Transceiver Module at the same
time. To do this store code 0999 under
the X10 key and store 0998 under any
other key (except TV).
1. Press and hold
SETUP until the LED
indicator lights
steadily. Release
the SETUP button.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The Transceiver Module doesn’t respond
to the remote:
• Check the House Code on the
Transceiver Module is set to ‘A.’ If
you have changed the House Code
on the remote (see p. 19), check that
it matches the House Code on the
Transceiver Module.
• Make sure the X10 button is set to
code 0999, see page 20.
• Press the ON/OFF button on the front
of the Transceiver to confirm it
operates the item connected to it.
The Transceiver Module works, but
other modules don’t respond:
• Check that the Module has the same
House Code as the Transceiver
Module.
• Try plugging the Module into a
different outlet.
Note: if you use an RF Transceiver (such
as the RR501 or TM751) to control X10
Modules, you will be able to control up
to 16 Modules. With a Transceiver, when
you press 1-6-ON you turn on Module
number 16. However, if you use an
IR543, when you press 1-6-ON you turn
on Modules 1 AND 6. The IR543 can
only control 10 Modules (1-9 plus 0=10).
The Remote won’t control your A/V
equipment, or doesn’t work at all:
• Use manual controls or the original
remote control to confirm the
equipment is working properly.
• Be sure you pressed the device key
for the device you want to control.
• Reenter the code for your A/V
product from the code listings on the
separate sheet included.
• Try searching for codes as described
on page 12.
• Replace the Remote’s batteries.
