Congratulations! You have just purchased the best quality powerline carrier lighting module available. X-10 PRO's Lighting Module is a high quality, X-10 compatible product that is a low cost alternative to hard-wired lighting systems.
This booklet covers all X-10 PRO models XP4LS and XP1LS.
CAUTION!!
READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING DEVICE.
This device is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a qualified electrician perform this installation. Retain these instructions for future reference.
To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install dimming versions to control a receptacle, a motor-operated appliance, a fluorescent lighting fixture, or a transformer-supplied appliance. This product is for indoor use only. Connect only copper or copper clad wire to this device.
Pour re'duire le risque d'augmenter la chaleur des diffe'rents equipments, ne pas installer une piece de control, une machine `a moteur, une fixture fluorescente or un transformateur.
INSTALLATION
Installation Notes
a.Be sure that power to the supply circuit has been disconnected by removing fuse or turning circuit breaker off. Installing the module with power on may expose you to dangerous voltages and may damage the device.
Installation Procedures
1.Install a standard 4 gang box or RACO 953 box, pre-wire for power, loads, remote switch, and transmitter controls.
2.Power should be a 20 circuit directly from a breaker 2x12ga wire and ground.
3.Load, remote switch, and transmitter circuits should each be connected via separate sets of two 14ga wire with ground.
4.Using a voltage tester, identify and mark the “Hot” and the “Neutral” wires.
5.Identify and label each pair of load and control point wires.
6.If setting up an X-10 PRO lighting system enter the appropriate circuit labels and addresses in the programming manual worksheets and on the module labels.
7.After all connections have been made, be certain all wire connectors are firmly attached and there are no exposed wires (except the bare ground wire).
8.Place wires and insert into wall box and screw unit into place with supplied screws. Four gang box uses four or eight 6x32x1/2 screws, Raco 953 box uses four 8x32x1/2 screws.

WIRING CONFIGURATION
The Lighting Module is wired directly to the lighting circuit and can be controlled by one or more Remote switches producing three, four, or five-way circuits. Multiple-way circuits make it possible for a group of switches to control the same set of lights. This section will illustrate how to hook-up the connections.
Configuration Definitions:
SERVICE PANEL - Source of electricity providing the Line and Neutral
REMOTE SWITCH - One or more remote switches controlling the light circuit via the Lighting Module control inputs.
Wiring Notes:
a.Remote switches require a Line Voltage input (Black) that is always hot. Do not connect to the load (switched) circuit.
b.The gray wire on the Remote Switch only serves to light the red LED, which provides as a night light and power indicator. It does not indicate the state of t he load. This wire can be tied to neutral or earth ground.

PRE-WIRING for X-10 PRO's Lighting Modules
The following is a guide to a “home-run” type wiring configuration that ensures a versatile and reliable system. This configuration costs slightly more in materials and labor to run the 14 gage home-runs for each load and control point. This expense, however, is more than offset by the increase in system reliability having all associated lighting and control points electrically “close” or in the same vicinity. The ease of setup and programming are worth it for simple and inexpensive installation.
The "home-run" wiring scheme is very different than conventional wiring methods. The conventional way typically taps off or "daisy chains" as many fixture/switch sets as possible off of each 20A supply circuit. This method is the least expensive method in getting the required control points/fixtures connected throughout the house but doesn't allow for other methods of control.
The "home-run" method proposed in this pre-wiring guide cost somewhat more, but is so versatile that anything from complex scene systems to simple switch/fixture arrangements can be easily implemented.
Single Room Wiring
A typical wiring diagram for one room might be as shown in Figure 1.
