CONTROLLER HOOKUP

1.When choosing a place to mount the controller, consider the following:

a.A duplex outlet, preferably on its own circuit, is required to be within 5 feet of the controller for the power transformer and the X-10 Control Module.

b.The controller should be protected from weather, temperature extremes, and burglars.

2.GROUND THE CONTROLLER "EARTH GND" TERMINAL TO A COLD WATER PIPE OR TO A 4-FOOT GROUND ROD TO PRESERVE ITS BUILT-IN TRANSIENT PROTECTION. USE 14 GAUGE WIRE. TRANSIENT PROTECTION WILL NOT WORK IF THE CONTROLLER IS NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED.

3.Connect the 24 VAC power transformer to the 24 VAC INPUT terminals.

4.Connect the BLACK battery wire to the minus (-) terminal on the battery. DO NOT connect the red wire at this time. DO NOT reverse the connections; the battery fuse will blow. Note that the unit will NOT START on the battery alone.

5.Plug the X-10 Interface Module into the outlet above the transformer. Use the supplied 4-conductor modular telephone cable to connect the module to the jack on the processor board. The red LED on the interface module should be on and will blink off when the interface receives a signal from the controller.

6.Refer to FIGURE 1 (CONTROLLER HOOKUP) for this configuration.
