HOW PLUG'N POWER WORKS

Plug'n power controllers, such as the Wireless Remote Control Center, send
high frequency signals through your household wiring.  The remote control
sends radio frequency signals to the control center module, which 
re-transmits the signals over your house wiring to other plug'n power
modules.

SETTING CODES

Two different types of codes-house codes and unit codes-let you 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 remote control center mode, 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 its own controller and modules.

You can control the same modules from two or more controllers by setting 
all the modules and controllers to the same house code.

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

UNIT CODES

Each Wireless Remote Control Center can operate up to 8 different modules
or groups of modules.  Every module has a unit code dial with settings from
1 through 16.  You can set the control center to control any module or
group of modules set to the same unit code.  However, your control center
does not provide independent control of all 16 unit codes.  You can use it
to independently control only unit codes 1 through 8 or 9 through 16.  If
you purchase another Wireless Remote Control Center, you can set one
control center to control modules set to 1 through 8 and the other control
center to control modules set to 9 through 16.

OPTIMUM PLACEMENT OF THE CONTROL CENTER MODULE

Because the control center module is a receiver and also a transmitter,
you might need to consider which is the best location for its installation.

If you only want to use the control center module to control something
plugged into it, then connect it to an outlet near the lamp or appliance
you want to control.  However, if you want to control other plug'n power
modules through the control center module, you might want to consider a
location where it can receive the signals from the remote control more 
easily.

Some houses have aluminum clad insulation that might act as a barrier to
radio signals, depending on where the control center module is located.
You might find that you can activate the control center module from a
greater distance if you place it in your garage, which is not as insulated
as the rest of the house.

If your house is large, you can increase the transmitting range by adding
multiple Wireless Remote Control Centers.
