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

can do with your X-10 SuperRemote...
•Control your entire audio/video and lighting setup for the ultimate Home Theater experience.
•Turn 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 X-10 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 X-10 products you can purchase.
* Requires X-10 Modules, sold separately.

GETTING STARTED
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.
CONTROLLERS 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 Transceiver Module works as a controller when it is used with a remote control such as the SuperRemote. 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.
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.
HOUSE 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.

INSTALLING THE
COMPONENTS
TRANSCEIVER MODULE
The Transceiver Module (sold separately) receives radio frequency (RF) commands from the SuperRemote to operate a lamp or appliance plugged into it. The Transceiver Module also passes on commands over your house wiring to control other X-10 modules (also sold separately). Note that unlike the Lamp Module you cannot dim and 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 SuperRemote.
1.Set the House Code to ‘A.’
2.Plug a lamp or appliance into the Transceiver Module.
3.Plug the Transceiver Module into a convenient AC outlet. Fully extend the antenna.
LAMP MODULE
The Lamp Module may 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.
Caution: Do not connect an appliance such as a coffee pot or heater to the Lamp Module. It may damage the module and the appliance and could cause a fire hazard.
1.Set the House Code to ‘A’ and the Unit Code to ‘2.’
2.Plug a lamp into the Lamp Module.
3.Plug the Lamp Module into a convenient AC outlet.
6-IN-1 SUPERREMOTE
The 6-in-1 SuperRemote allows you to control practically everything electrical in your home. It has IR technology that lets you control all your TV, VCR, Cable and Satellite equipment, and X-10 RF technology that lets you control lamps and appliances anywhere in your home.
To find out more about configuring the SuperRemote to work with your audio/ video equipment, see the section titled “Setting Up your SuperRemote.”
1.Push the tab and lift off the battery cover.
2.Fit two AAA batteries, taking care to match the + and - marks in the battery compartment.
