[. . . ] If you accidentally turn on an empty coffee pot for example, you could burn out the element and even create a fire hazard. Switching on an unattended heater could also cause a serious fire hazard. The Mini Controller activates lights and appliances throughout your home from any convenient location. The Mini 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. You can then control virtually everything electrical in your home. You can also dim and brighten lights. Using the Mini Controller Having 16 choices for the Housecode lets you set up several independent systems in one home without interaction among them. Also, you can avoid interference with, or from a neighbor's system by choosing a different Housecode letter. How it works The Mini Controller tells the Modules what to do. Command signals are sent over your existing house wiring to the Module or Modules of your choice. The Modules respond to the command signals. The Lamp Module turns on and off, and dims and brightens any incandescent lamp up to 300 watts. The Appliances Module turns on and off appliances such as a TV, (not "instant on" TVs), a window fan, or a stereo. It can also be used for a lamp - but cannot dim it. Contact www. x10. com/support if you need help. If you can't control ANY modules from the Mini Controller Check that you have power to the outlet for the Mini Controller. Check that the Housecode on the Mini Controller is set correctly. Try plugging the Module and the Mini Controller into the same outlet. If NONE of your Modules work in ANY outlet, not even with the Module and the Mini Controller in the same duplex receptacle (top and bottom) the Mini Controller might be defective.

Model HC60RX Mini Controller Owner's Manual Intercom Systems Intercom systems which send voice signals over existing electrical wiring may interfere with the operation of the Mini 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. Simply turn the switch OFF then ON again once or twice. [. . . ] Simply turn the switch OFF then ON again once or twice. For lamps with three-way bulbs, you might have to rotate the power switch a few times before the light comes on.
