3.3 Programming

It pays off to plan ahead - use the tables in appendices A
and B at the end of this guide to register the intended
location of each detector, the holder and assignment of
each transmitter and the control plan for the X-10 units.
Gather up all transmitters and detectors used in the
system and mark each one in accordance with your
deployment plan.
For detailed programming instructions, refer to the
PowerMax programming Guide (Publication DE5450P).

3.4 Mounting the Bracket

A. Detaching the Bracket from the Cabinet
A notable advantage of the PowerMax is that the unit can
be mounted without having to open its cabinet. All
connectors and terminals are accessible through a
rectangular opening at the rear, and wiring channels are

provided across the rear of the cabinet. Quick mounting of
the PowerMax is possible by virtue of a special bracket
and a unique mechanical system.
The control panel comes with the bracket in place at the
rear. Since a catch at the lower end of the bracket is
trapped (intentionally) within the cabinet, a special
technique must be used to release it (see Figures 6 & 7).
Figure 6. Releasing the Bottom Catch from the Trap
Figure 7. Detaching the Bracket
B. Getting Acquainted with the Bracket
Having detached the bracket successfully, put it on a desk
and observe its design - see Figure 8 for identification of
its various parts.
