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

4.1 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

When you release the button, the display will revert to the
normal status-displaying mode, but will also indicate that a
message is waiting. For example:
To check your own message, listen to it within one minute
from the end of recording (see Para. 3.5). This way the
MSG indication will not be erased.

3.5 Message Playback

Sound
To listen to a message left by another user of the system:
Click
message will be played back over the built-in loudspeaker.
When the playback ends, the display will revert to the
normal status-displaying mode. If more than 1 minute
elapsed after recording, the MSG indication will disappear.

3.6 Chime ON/OFF

You can disable / enable the chime zones by alternate
clicking of the <8> key, as shown below:
Action

CHIME lights steadily when "chime on" is selected
Selecting the active automatic control method:
Sensors:
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 par. 7.16).

4.2 Manual Switch-On

You can switch appliances ON as instructed below. This
other
example shows how to switch on the lights controlled by X-
10 unit No. 01.
