FireCracker

(includes CM17A and TM751)

 

 

Model CK17A

Wireless Computer Interface Kit

FCCApproved

 

Controls up to 256 lights and appliances instantly from your PC, by remote control.

Connects to your PC’s serial port and has a pass-through port so you don’t lose a port.

Works with any X10 Transceiver (TM751 included) and any X10 Module (sold separately).

Works with FireCracker software (available from http://www.x10.com/FireCracker.htm).

Up to 100 ft. range.

The FireCracker Computer Interface sends Wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signals from your PC to an X10 Transceiver (TM751 included). The Transceiver then passes the signals onto your house wiring to control lights or appliances around your home. You plug lights and appliances into X10 Modules (sold separately).

1.Set the TM751 Transceiver to Housecode A. Plug a lamp or appliance into the TM751. Plug the TM751 into an AC outlet (use one near your PC for now).

2.Plug the FireCracker into your computer’s serial port. If something was already plugged into this port, plug it into the FireCracker.

3.Download the FireCracker program from: http://www.x10.com/FireCracker.htm

4.Run the Setup program to install the FireCracker software.

5.Run the X10 FireCracker application.

6.Select the COM port you are using and click on Try It. Click on OK, a picture of an X10 PalmPad remote appears on your computer monitor. Use the on-screen remote control just like a regular remote control: Click on 1 to test the Transceiver.

For more information right-click on your mouse to access the extensive on-line help. This also accesses the Test Communi- cations menu, which lets you change the COM port that the FireCracker works with. You can also print labels from here to match those on the on-screen PalmPad remote and place them on a physical PalmPad (sold separately). You can also turn on or off sound effects that occur when you press buttons. Persons with physical disabilities who have software that can access their keyboard can simply “type” A 1 ON, for example, to turn on any X10 Module.
