LOAD RATING
Key Features
• On/Off function to control fluorescent or low
energy lamps, air conditioner, fan, coffee
pot, etc .
• Available in a wide range of plug styles
(British, German, French, Italian, Euro-
style, Australian/New Zealand, Swiss,
Danish, etc.).
• Designed to operate with 230VAC 500W
loads.
Benefits
The switch plug-in module is a 500W receiver unit
that works as a remote controlled switch/relay. The
connected load can also be switched on and off locally.
The switch can be used at any wall outlet in the house.
The switch plug-in module can switch incandescent
lamps and low energy lamps up to 500W, appliances
with electric motors up to 250W or halogen floor lamps
with foot dimmer up to 500 W (refer also to "technical
data").
As the X10 switch is simply inserted into wall outlets
like an ordinary plug, there is no installation
necessary. Just adjust the settings on the front side
to the desired device address (e.g. G7) and note this
address down in a list.
The load connected to the switch module can still be
controlled locally by its own switch, but do not forget
to leave the local switch in the "ON" position,
otherwise the load cannot be controlled by an X10
controller. Switch the load off by remote control.
