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.
CONTROLLERS 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 Transceiver Module works as a controller when it is used with a remote control such as the
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.
HOUSE CODES AND UNIT CODES

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.
