Description:
The PowerFlash Interface SENDS an X10 Signal in response to a "Make or Break" contact from a Security Panel, Driveway
Sensor, Doorbell, Magnetic Door/Window Switch, you name it! If it's got an output, it can probably trigger the PowerFlash. The Module can be
activated by a low voltage output or a dry contact switch closure. Upon activation, the PSC01 sends an X10 ON type Signal. The Module becomes
deactivated when the low voltage is removed or the dry contact switch is opened and an OFF type Signal is sent. See Output Modes below, for
Signal types.
Specific R
equirements:
120VAC Power
Input Mode "A" - 0-18V AC or DC at Input Terminals (i.e. Bell Voltage from Alarm panel).
Input Mode "B" - Contact Closure at Input Terminals (i.e. Door bell button, or contact switch).
Op
tional / Supplementary Devices & Modules:
PLW01 Standard Incandescent Wall Switch Module, PLM01Plug-in Lamp Module, PAM01/02 Plug-in 2 and 3-pin Appliance Modules, PHH02 Plug-
in Remote Chime, PSH02 Plug-in Remote Siren.
X10 Protoc
ol:
House Code Dial - Letters A-P Unit Number Dial - Numbers 1-16
Each X10 Receiver Module is set to a unique Unit Number or to an identical Unit Number as desired.
Each X10 Controller operating a specific set of Receiver Modules must be set to the same House Code as the Receivers they are controlling.
Electrical Protocol:
Nearly all residential homes are wired SPLIT-PHASE. Each 120V Phase is NOT directly connected with the other 120V phase. If after installation,
an X10 Receiver does not respond to a remote Controller, then check to ensure that the breaker serving the X10 Receiver is on the same phase as
the Controller. If not, the breaker can be changed to the opposite phase. An alternative solution is recommended, to install a Phase Coupler for
improving remote communications throughout the home. See www.x10pro.com, then select Technical Support and PLC Troubleshooting.
Installa
tion:
Plug the PSC01 into an Outlet
