AFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Remember to exercise good common
sense when using the Home
Automation features of your
SuperRemote - especially when
scheduling unattended devices. There
can be some unexpected consequences
if not used with care. For example, an
empty coffee pot can be remotely
turned on. 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.

Caution: To reduce the risk of electric

shock, do not disassemble any part of the
Home Automation System’s plug-in
Modules or Controllers. No user­serviceable parts are inside. If you spill
liquid on a unit, disconnect the unit from
the AC outlet to prevent possible fire or
shock hazard and consult authorized
service personnel.

Powerline operated equipment or
accessories connected to any of these
units should bear the UL listing or CSA
certification mark and should not have
been modified in any way that might
defeat their safety features.

Warning: T o prevent electric shock
hazard, do not expose any part of the
Home Automation System to rain or
moisture

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the
X10 SuperRemote.

Make your lights and appliances go to

work for you....

The X10 SuperRemote will control most
or all of your video and audio equipment.
But what really sets it apart from other
remotes is that you can also control
almost any light or appliance in your
home - even in another room! And it’s
easy to set up. Within minutes, you can
be using your X10 SuperRemote to dim
the lights, start brewing a fresh pot of
coffee and play your favorite movie!*

Here are just some of the things you
can do with your X10 SuperRemote...

• Control your entire audio/video and
lighting setup for the ultimate Home
Theater experience.

• T urn on lights at night to scare away
intruders if you hear a noise.

• Start the coffee from your bedroom
when you wake up.

• Turn on your electric blanket before
the movie ends, so you it’s nice and
warm when you go to bed.

Use this manual to become familiar with

your SuperRemote....

This manual will explain how to set up
your SuperRemote to use it with your
existing Audio/Video equipment.

Next it will show you how you can use it
to set up an X10 Transceiver Module and
Lamp Module (sold separately) to
operate electrical products in your home.

Finally, the manual will show you can
expand your system with some of the
many additional X10 products you can
purchase.

* Requires X10 Modules, sold
separately.

GETTING ST ARTED

Because we know that you are eager to
get started, we’ve kept this introduction
as short as possible, but it contains very
valuable information, so you should read
through it very carefully .

C

ONTROLLERS AND MODULES

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. 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 T ransceiver Module works
as a controller when it is used
with a remote control such as
the SuperRemote. When the
Transceiver Module r eceives
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.

OUSE CODES AND UNIT CODES

UNIT CODE

DIAL

HOUSE CODE

DIAL

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 Controller first sends an address and
then a command on the AC power lines.
Only the Module with a matching address
will execute the command. If more than
one Module has the same address, both
Modules will 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.
