CONSIDERA ONSIDERATIONS S AFETY C ONSIDERATIONS Remember to exercise good common sense when using the Home Automation features of your UR81A Remote - especially when controlling unattended devices. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remote control while clothing is draped over it, a fire could result. DO NOT USE the remote for the control of high power heating appliances such as portable heaters. [. . . ] Press and release mode button for the device you want to control (TV, VCR, Cable or AUX). If the device responds, setup is complete. 5 3 2 6 4 10 11 Notes: 1. The TV mode key can only be used to store TV codes but you can store a code for ANY device under either the VCR, CBL, or AUX mode key. E. G. , you can store a Cable code under the VCR key, or a Satellite code under the Cable key, etc. If your TV/VCR/Cable Box does not respond, try the other codes for your brand. If the LED blinked rapidly when you entered the code, you may have entered an invalid code. If some buttons do not operate your equipment, try one of the other codes for your brand. When searching for a code (as described below) you might have to press CHANNEL+ many times (50+). RF signals can go right through walls, so you can use the remotes to control lights or appliances from anywhere in your home. H OUSE CODES CODES C ONTROLLERS MODULES AND M ODULES 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 Controllers. 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. 14 AND U NIT C ODES UNIT CODES 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. 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. UNIT CODE DIAL HOUSE CODE DIAL 15 MODULE T RANSCEIVER M ODULE The Transceiver Module (sold separately) receives radio frequency (RF) commands from the UR81A 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 or 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 UR81A Remote. 1 . Set the House Code to `A. ' MODULE L AMP M ODULE The Lamp Module (sold separately) can 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. 1 . [. . . ] If installation fails, make sure the software isn't running during installation. · Move the receiver as far away from your PC and monitor as its cable allows. 24 IMPORT IMPOR TANT NOTE The default code for the PC button is 013. You might want to change this to use the PC button to control something else, like a Laser Disk player, for example. Note however that if you do this the PC button will not let you access the MP3, DVD and CD (1, 2, 3, buttons). [. . . ]
