from the control of your armchair. Place it near your home entertainment
system or by your bedside as you like. With your Infrared Universal Remote
Control (X10 compatible), or by pressing the buttons on your Mini-Controller,
you can turn off your appliances or lights around your home without getting
out of your easy chair. You can turn off your child's radio, TV or night light
from your bedroom. You can turn your lights on with the push of a button on
your remote control if you hear a suspicious noise at night. With your Infra­Red Mini-Controller, you can control virtually all electrical appliances in your
home.

control) from anywhere in your home. You plug lamps and appliances
into the "Lamp" or "Appliance Modules".

• Receives commands from your Remote Control.

• Sends signals to Modules over your electrical wiring. (No additional
wiring required)

Installation

The Mini-Controller

Installation of your Mini-Controller is easy, simply follow these steps:

Controller Housecode Dial. Select the same housecode as you set for
the Modules and the remote.

2. Plug the power cord into any functioning 230 Vac- 50Hz outlet.

Pronto remote. When you press a front panel key of the IR7243, the
housecode P will be transmitted.

Safety warning:

Mini-Controller buttons. That's obvious - but 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 may 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 system for the control of high power heating appliances such
as portable heaters.
