Compatible” will work with the Model 1503. The modules come in various types, which are briefly described below:

MODULE TYPES

There are two basic types of modules, LAMP MODULES and APPLIANCE MODULES.

- Lamp modules are only for incan- descent lamps. These modules are capable of dimming the lamps.

Examples of lamp modules are the X-10 LM465 Lamp Module, WS467 Wall Switch, WS4777 3-Way Wall Switch and the Leviton 6381 Wall Switch and 6383 3-Way Wall Switch. These will be referred to as LAMP MODULES.

-Appliance modules are for lamps or appliances, and can handle larger loads, but cannot dim lamps. Examples are the X-10 AM486 2 pin appliance module, AM466 3 pin appliance module, SR227 Split Receptacle Module, HD243, HD245 heavy duty modules and the Leviton 6291 Wall Switch and 6293 3-Way Wall Switch. These will be referred to as

APPLIANCE MODULES.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT EXCEED THE RATINGS FOR THESE MODULES!

LAMP MODULES will not work with anything other than incandescent lamps (ordinary light bulbs.) No TVs, VCRs, ceiling fans, appli- ances, etc. should be plugged into lamp modules. Damage can occur to the module and the appliance.

When placing items under remote or automated control, always give due consideration to the safety aspects of turning an appliance on or off without being present to watch it. For example, do not acti- vate dangerous appliances by remote control or on a timed basis.

HOUSE CODES

All of your X-10 modules must be set to a HOUSE CODE that is con- trolled by your Model 1503. Each house code can have 16 unit num- bers. See SET-UP MISCELLANEOUS, HOUSE CODE to see how to set the house code on your Model 1503. The HOUSE CODE is set on each module using the red dial. House codes are letters A through P.

UNIT NUMBERS

Each module has its own UNIT NUMBER. More than one module can have the same UNIT NUMBER if you want to control multiple lights with the same unit number. Modules have 16 possible unit numbers, 1 through 16.

Model 1503 Version 2 systems have 128 unit numbers. They are related to module unit numbers and house codes, and Model 1102 Expansion Enclosure unit numbers as follows:
