3-Prong Universal Appliance Switch
(610-2684A)                Addendum                   Faxback Doc. # 19292

1/3 HP for motor loads.  Sufficient to handle the motor load in appliances,
such as portable fans and window air conditioners. 

500 Watts for lamps.  Although the Appliance Module is rated for 1800 Watts
for resistive loads, it is limited to 500 Watts for incandescent lamps,
because of the "inrush" current when you turn on a cold lamp.  This
momentary inrush of current can be up to 6 times higher than the normal
operating load.

The Appliance Module can be used for any kind of lamp including fluorescent
lamps but cannot dim lamps.

The Appliance Module does NOT respond to the "All Lights On" but does
respond to the All Units Off code.

The Appliance Module's "local control" feature lets you, at any time, turn
on the Appliance Module simply by turning the appliance's power switch off
then on again.  You must always leave the power switch in the on position 
to control the Appliance Module remotely, but this handy local "on" feature
means you don't have to always go to where the Controller is located to
turn the lamp or appliance on.  This feature does not work with "instant
on" or remote controlled TVs.
