Information Per X-10 Literature

Low, medium and high settings on unit correspond to setting back your
thermostat approximately 5, 10 and 15 degrees, Fahrenheit, respectively.
This is determined by a switch on the unit.  Neither a controller or a 
module, it plugs into an appliance into an appliance module, to accept on 
and off commands.  "Tape" wraps around thermostat.  When turned on, it 
causes thermostat to think room is hotter when it is.  Includes setback 
"tape" and power supply.

The Temperature Regulator attaches to the wall under your existing 
thermostat and connects to the plug-in Power Supply.  The Power Supply
plugs into an Appliance Module or Wall Receptacle Module.  When you turn on
the Appliance Module or Wall Receptacle Module the Temperature Regulator
supplies a small amount of local heat under your thermostat, fooling it 
into thinking that the room is hotter than it really is.  Your heating is 
therefore set-back by the amount of heat which the Temperature Regulator
supplies.  You pre-set this for approximately 5, 10, or 15 degrees of
setback.  The reverse applies for central air conditioning.  You simple set
your thermostat for the maximum temperature that you would like the room to
attain, then when you turn on the Appliance Module or Receptacle Module,
the thermostat thinks the room is, say 15 degrees hotter, so it turns your
air conditioning on. i.e. when the Appliance Module is OFF the room
temperature will rise to the temperature setting on your thermostat and
when the Appliance Module is ON, the room will be kept say 15 degrees
cooler.

The Thermostat Set-back works with ANY kind of thermostat and does not
require any changes to the wiring of your existing thermostat.  It will
work with low voltage, high voltage or even pneumatic thermostats.  You
can automatically set-back heating or air conditioning using the Mini
Timer, Clock Radio Timer or Home Automation Interface.  You can also
remotely turn up heating or air conditioning before you get home using the
Telephone Responder.  The ease of programming offered by X-10 Timers
eliminates the problems often associated with programming set-back
thermostats.

Just by setting you heating back by 15 degrees when you go to bed, you can
conservatively save up to 20% a year on your heating bills so the system
can pay for itself in a very short time.
