AFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Remember to exercise good common
sense when using your X-10 remote’s
home automation features - 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
system 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. 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.
War ning: To 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 X-10 SuperRemote.
Make your lights and appliances go to
work for you....
The X-10 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 install. Within minutes,
you can be using your X-10
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 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 and use an X-10 Transceiver
Module and Lamp Module (sold
separately) to operate electrical devices
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.
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 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 8-in-1 Learning
SuperRemote. When the
Transceiver Module
receives a command from
the 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
remote to control lights or appliances
from anywhere in your home.
H
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.

INSTALLING THE
COMPONENTS
RANSCEIVER MODULE
T
The Transceiver Module receives radio
frequency (RF) commands from
remotes 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. 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 X-10 Learning SuperRemote.
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.
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.
L
AMP 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.
8-IN-1 L
The 8-in-1 Learning SuperRemote allows
you to control practically everything
electrical in your home. It combines IR
technology that lets you control all your
TV, VCR, Cable and Satellite equipment
with X-10 RF technology that lets you
control lamps and appliances anywhere
in your home.
To find out more about configuring the
Learning 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 four AAA
batteries, taking
care to match the +
and - marks in the
battery
compartment.
