INSTALLING THE
COMPONENTS
T
RANSCEIVER M ODULE
The Transceiver Module (sold separately)
receives radio frequency (RF) commands
from the X10 Platinum Remote to operate
a lamp or appliance plugged into it. The
Transceiver Module also passes on
commands over your house wiring to
control other X10 modules (also sold
separately). Note that unlike the Lamp
Module you cannot dim and brighten a
lamp connected to the Transceiver
Module.
You should locate the Transceiver Module
centrally in the home for maximum range
when controlled by the Platinum Remote.
2. Plug a lamp or
appliance into the
Transceiver
Module.
3. Plug the
Transceiver Module
into a convenient
AC outlet. Fully
extend the antenna.
L AMP M ODULE
The Lamp Module (sold separately) may
be used to control any incandescent lamp
rated up to 300W. It is not suitable for
other types of lamp such as fluorescent or
energy saving lamps, or lamps which
include a dimmer control.
Caution: Do not connect an appliance
such as a coffee pot or heater to the Lamp
Module. It may damage the module and
the appliance and could cause a fire
hazard.
1. Set the House
Code to ‘A.’
H OUSE C ODES AND U NIT C ODES
Each Module has a specific address
made up of a House Code (red dial on
the face of the Module) and a Unit Code
(black dial on the face of the Module).
The Controller first sends an address and
then a command on the AC power lines.
Only the Module with a matching address
will execute the command. If more than
one Module has the same address, both
Modules will execute the command.
Addresses are set on the Module by
turning the two dials on the front of the
Module to the desired letter and number
(using a small screwdriver or a coin). The
House Code is selected from the letters A
through P, and the Unit Code is selected
from the numbers 1 through 16.
