HOW PLUG'N POWER WORKS

Plug'n power controllers, such as the Universal Interface, send high
frequency signals through your household wiring.  The plug'n power modules
(not included) receive the controller's signals and turn the connected
lights and appliances on and off.  Be sure to carefully read your manual
and the instructions that come with the modules.  They are designed to
help you get the most from your plug'n power system.

SETTING CODES

Two different type of codes - house codes and unit codes - allow you to
control many different modules or groups of modules within your home.  It
is important that you understand how these codes are used before you set
up your system.

HOUSE CODES

The house code is a master code for a plug'n power system.  You must set 
the Universal Interface and all the  modules it controls to the same house
code.  There are 16 codes to choose from (A through P).  You can operate
two or more independent plug'n power systems in your home by using a
different house code for each system.

Of course, each system must have it's own Universal Interface (or other 
plug'n power controller) and modules.

You can control the same modules from two or more controllers (including
the Universal Interface) by setting all the modules and controllers to the
same house code.

The different house codes also help to avoid interference between your
plug'n power system and other systems in your neighborhood.

UNIT CODES

Each Universal Interface can operate up to 16 different modules or groups
of modules.  Every module has a unit-code dial with settings from 1 through
16.  You can set the Universal Interface to control any module or group of
modules set to the same unit code.  You can also set the interface to turn
on or flash, all Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Modules set the same house
code as the interface regardless of what unit codes the modules are set to.

NOTE:  If set to flash your lights, the interface also turns off any
       Appliance Modules set to the same house code as the interface.  It
       does this because it flashes your lights by repeatedly transmitting
       the all lights on code followed by the all units off code.  The all
       units off command will turn off all modules (including Appliance
       Modules) set to the same house code as the interface but the all
       lights on command does not affect Appliance Modules.

Because the Universal Interface controls the modules through your existing
house wiring, setup of the interface is a snap.  You simply plug the
interface into a convenient AC outlet close to the alarm system, sensor,
or anything you wish to trigger the interface.  Then, connect the interface
to the trigger source using any low-voltage wiring between the trigger
source and the input terminals on the interface.

NOTE:  DO NOT CONNECT 120 VAC DIRECTLY TO THE INPUT OF THE INTERFACE.

       Set the input Select switch to 1 if you wish to trigger the
       interface from a low voltage input (6-18V AC, DC or audio).  Observe
       polarity (+ and -) if you are triggering the interface from a low-
       voltage DC source.

       Set the Input Select switch to 2 if you wish to trigger the
       interface using a simple on/off switch that does not supply any
       power.

ADDING TO YOUR PLUG'N POWER SYSTEM

You can easily increase the size and flexibility of your plug'n power 
system by adding more modules or other plug'n power accessories.  The 
following are some of the most popular plug'n power accessories.

  Mini Controller (Cat. No. 610-2677B)- Lets you instantly control up to 8
                                        plug'n power modules and dim lights
                                        too.  This controller also has all
                                        lights on and all units off 
                                        buttons.

  Remote Control Command Center - Has all the features of the Mini 
       (Cat. No. 610-2672 CMC)    Controller but can control up to 16 
                                  plug'n power modules.

  Controller Timer (Cat. No. 610-2670)- Has all the features of the Mini
                                        Controller, plus a timer that lets
                                        you pre-program events to take
                                        place while you are away.  This can
                                        give your home a lived-in look 
                                        while you are on vacation and can
                                        prepare your home for your arrival
                                        at the end of the day.  The 
                                        Controller Timer also performs the
                                        function of a digital alarm clock.

  Wireless Remote Control Center - Lets you control your plug'n power 
             (Cat. No. 610-2675)   system from anywhere inside or nearby
                                   your home.  You never have to enter a
                                   dark home or garage again.
