[. . . ] Switching on an unattended heater could also cause a serious fire hazard. The X10 Sundowner Controller activates lights and appliances throughout your home from any convenient location. The Sundowner Controller transmits signals to the Modules over your existing house wiring. You plug lamps into Lamp Modules, plug appliances into Appliance Modules and replace wall light switches with Wall Switch Modules. [. . . ] The Wall Switch Module turns on and off, and dims and brightens an incandescent light up to 500 watts, which is normally operated by a wall switch. To turn OFF a light or appliance Press and release the BOTTOM of one of the 4 number keys corresponding to the Unit Code set on the Module to be controlled. To turn off all modules, including Appliance Modules, press the bottom of the All Lights On/All Units Off key. To Dim or Brighten lights Press and release the TOP of the number key for the Lamp Module or Wall Switch Module you want to Dim or Brighten (you can't Dim or Brighten Appliance Modules). Then press the TOP of the Dim/ Bright key to Brighten or the BOTTOM of the Dim/Bright key to Dim the light. Hold the key pressed until the desired brightness level is reached. The Finder Label is a convenient place to indicate the locations of lights and appliances controller by your system. There is one box for each unit key. Setting up the Sundowner Controller 1. To install your Sundowner Controller, simply plug the power cord into any functioning wall outlet. Position the controller where the light sensor on the front of the controller can "see" daylight, e. g. near a window in a room which is usually unlit at dusk. Set the slide switch on the top of the Sundowner Controller for the Modules you want it to control (1 thru 4 or 5 thru 8). Using a small screwdriver, choose one the 16 letters on the Sundowner Controller's Housecode dial. All X10 Modules have a similar red Housecode dial. Set the Sundowner Controller and all the Modules to be controlled by it to the same Housecode letter. Automatic Light Control Test the Dusk-to-Dawn operation by covering up the front of the Sundowner with your hand. The lights you selected (with the slide switches underneath the Sundowner Controller) should come on. Remove your hand and the lights should go off again. Adjust the sensitivity setting for the lights to come on when you want them to - a little trial and error may be needed. 2 3 Using the Sundowner Controller Problem Solving If a particular module won't go on or off from the buttons on the Sundowner Controller: Check that you have power to the outlet controlling the Module and the switch on the light or appliance is ON. Check that the Unit Code on the Module is set to the correct number. Check the 1-4/5-8 selector on the top of the Sundowner Controller. Check that the Housecode on the Module is set correctly. The Housecode on the Module and the Sundowner Controller must be set to the same letter. [. . . ] If NONE of your Modules work in ANY outlet, not even with the Module and the Sundowner Controller in the same duplex receptacle (top and bottom) the Sundowner Controller might be defective. Contact http://www. x10. com/support for help. Intercom Systems Intercom systems which send voice signals over existing electrical wiring may interfere with the operation of the Sundowner Controller when the intercom is in use. If the Intercom system has its own separate wiring it will not cause a problem. Power Interruptions When the power is restored after an outage, Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Modules will normally be OFF. Appliance Modules will stay as they were before the interruption. Local Control Lights and appliances connected to plug-in Modules can be turned ON with their own power switch. [. . . ]
