Using Powerline Carrier Device Commands
(Lights On/Lights Off Keys)
General Information
Powerline Carrier devices (e.g. X-10 brand devices) are programmable switches that can be used to
perform many different functions. Your system may be set up so that certain lights or other devices can be
turned on or off by using the device command from the keypad. Ask your installer if this has been done in
your system. If programmed for your system, some devices may activate automatically upon certain system
conditions. In this case, the following commands can be used to override the device activation. See your
installer for a full explanation of this feature.
