Plug'N Power Universal Interface
(610-2687 CMC)             Troubleshooting            Faxback Doc. # 19595

If a particular modules doesn't respond to the Universal Interface.

    Be sure the module and Universal Interface are set to the same house
    code.

    If the interface is set for mode 3 operation, be sure the unit code
    on the module you wish to control is set to the same unit code as the
    interface.

    Be sure the power switch for the light or appliance is turned on.

    Try plugging the module into a different AC outlet that you know is
    "live".  If the module works, move the module to a different outlet.

If none of your modules respond to the Universal Interface.

    Try operating the interface from its TEST button.  If it controls the
    modules, check the connections between the interface and the trigger
    source.  Check the polarity if you are triggering the interface from
    a low voltage DC source.

    Be sure the interface is plugged into an AC outlet and the outlet is
    "live".

    Be sure the interface is set to the same house code as the modules.

    Try plugging the interface into a different AC outlet.

If lights and appliances turn on and off by themselves, try setting all
your modules and the interface to a different house code.

INTERCOMS

Some intercoms also send signals through the house wiring.  If you have
this type of system, it is likely that it will interfere with the operation
of your plug'n power system.  However it will interfere only when both
systems are in use at the same time (if you leave an intercom in a child's
room in the transmit mode for example).  If this is a problem use an 
intercom that has it's own separate wiring system.

POWER INTERRUPTIONS

When power is restored after a power failure, Lamp Dimmer Modules and both
types of Wall Switch Modules default to the off mode.  Appliance Modules
remain in the same state they were in before the power failure.
