ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONTROL

4. ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONTROL
(Not to be used in UL listed systems)

Control Options and Pushbuttons

The system allows manual or automatic remote
control of up to 15 electrical devices (lights, radio/TV,
tape recorders, fans etc.). This requires an optional
X-10 controller and up to 15 remote X-10 units (see
Fig. 2). ON / OFF control codes are communicated
via the regular household electrical wiring.
Besides the X-10 units (numbered 1 to 15), it is
possible to control a device connected to the PGM
output (unit # 00).
While programming the system, your installer
determines ON and OFF times for each remote
controlled device. He also determines which zone
sensors will switch the remote controlled appliances
on and off. However, the decision whether the
remote controlled appliances will respond as
programmed is up to you (see next table).
Key Function
Manual activation of lights or other
household electrical appliances.
Manual deactivation of lighting or other
household electrical appliances.
Selecting the active automatic control
method:
Sensors: Appliances are controlled by
sensors (assigned by the installer for
this).
Timer: Appliances are controlled by
timer (ON and OFF times are defined
by the installer).
Both: Appliances are controlled by
sensors as well as by a timer.
Examples of benefits gained by automatic remote
control:
•
Timer Control. When you are away, the timed
activation / de-activation of lights, radio and TV
simulates the presence of people at home, to
deter potential burglars.
•
Zone Control. Upon disturbance of a perimeter
zone, lights are switched on and a tape recorder
starts running, playing back a series of dog
barks.
Note: Automatic activation and deactivation of
electrical appliances depend also on the
Scheduler setup (see Chapter 7 - Scheduler
Function).
