4. HOME CONTROL

The home control features of the Model 1503 make it easy and conve- nient to control almost any light or appliance from the console or over the telephone. You may also have your heating and air condi- tioning (HVAC) system under control of the system, which will allow it to save energy dollars by setting the temperature appropriately when you are home, asleep or away. (The Home Control functions have not been investigated by Underwriter's Laboratories.)

Furthermore, the Model 1503 can be used to program lights to make the home look occupied as a deter- rent to potential thieves.

There are three methods that the Model 1503 uses to control differ- ent things:

1.X-10 Powerhousetm, Leviton and compatible modules for lights and small appliances

2.Model 1101 Programmable En- ergy Saver Modules (PESM) for central heating and air condi- tioning systems

3.Direct Relay Control (with or without Model 1102 Expansion Enclosure) for sprinklers, lighting, electric heating, etc.

A MODEL 1503 VERSION 2 by itself will control:

-64 X-10 modules (four house codes)

-3 Model 1101 PESMs or direct relay controls

Model 1503 Owner's

for a total of 67 control points.

With 4 Model 1102 Expansion Enclo- sures, the Model 1503 Version 2 will control:

-64 X-10 modules (four house codes)

-64 Model 1101 PESMs or direct

relay controls

for a total of 128 control points.

AMODEL 1053-LC will control:

-16 X-10 modules (one house code)

-3 temperatures or direct relay controls

for a total of 19 control points.

The Model 1503-LC cannot use Model 1102 Expansion Enclosures.

X-10 POWERHOUSEtm MODULES

The Model 1503 controls lights and appliances by sending commands over your existing electrical wir- ing to special switches, outlets and modules, collectively referred to as MODULES. Each module (or group of modules) is assigned a HOUSE CODE and a UNIT NUMBER so that the Model 1503 can control the modules individually. When a module hears a command from the Model 1503 for its house code and unit number, it executes the command.

The modules used for actually controlling the light or appliance are industry standard modules manu- factured by X-10 USA, Inc. and Leviton Manufacturing Co. Leviton products are called “Leviton Decora Electronic Controls (DEC)”. The modules are sold by your dealer as well as certain retailers such as Radio Shack, Sears, Home Depot and others. Any module that is “X-10
