Your UR81A remote controls lights and
appliances using X10 Modules (sold
separately). Please read the following as
it will give you an understanding of how
Home Control (Home Automation) works
and will help you understand what X10
Modules you will need to purchase to
control most everything in your home.

The first thing you need to understand is
that there are two different devices you
need to control your house;

Controllers and Modules.

Any light or appliance
that you want to control is
plugged into a Module
and that Module is then
plugged into a standard
AC outlet.
Modules receive
commands from Control-
lers. Examples include
the Lamp Module (sold
separately). The
Transceiver Module (also
sold separately) is
another example
(although it also doubles
as a controller as
described later).
Controllers are also
plugged into standard wall
outlets and send commands
to Modules over your
existing electrical wiring in
your house without
affecting your electricity
in any way.
The Transceiver Module
works as a controller
when it is used with a
remote control such as
the UR81A Remote.
When the Transceiver
Module receives a command from a
remote it sends digital signals over your
existing house wiring to a Module which
receives the signals and executes the
command.

The remote uses radio frequency (RF)
signals to send commands to the
Transceiver module. RF signals can go
right through walls, so you can use the
remotes to control lights or appliances
from anywhere in your home.

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 Remote sends a wireless signal to a
Transceiver which retransmits it over the
AC wiring to the Module. Only the
Module with a matching address
executes the command. If more than one
Module has the same address, both
Modules 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.
