When placing items under remote
or automated control, always give
due consideration to the safety
aspects of turning an appliance on
or off without being present to
watch it. For example, do not acti-
vate dangerous appliances by remote
control or on a timed basis.
HOUSE CODES
All of your X-10 modules must be
set to a HOUSE CODE that is con-
trolled by your Model 1503. Each
house code can have 16 unit num-
bers. See SET-UP MISCELLANEOUS,
HOUSE CODE to see how to set the
house code on your Model 1503. The
HOUSE CODE is set on each module
using the red dial. House codes are

have the same UNIT NUMBER if you
want to control multiple lights
with the same unit number. Modules
have 16 possible unit numbers, 1
through 16.

128 unit numbers. They are related

various types, which are briefly
described below:
MODULE TYPES
There are two basic types of
modules, LAMP MODULES and APPLIANCE
MODULES.
- Lamp modules are only for incan-
descent lamps. These modules are
capable of dimming the lamps.
Examples of lamp modules are the
X-10 LM465 Lamp Module, WS467
Wall Switch, WS4777 3-Way Wall
Switch and the Leviton 6381 Wall
Switch and 6383 3-Way Wall
Switch. These will be referred
to as LAMP MODULES.
- Appliance modules are for lamps
or appliances, and can handle
larger loads, but cannot dim
lamps. Examples are the X-10
AM486 2 pin appliance module,
AM466 3 pin appliance module,
SR227 Split Receptacle Module,
HD243, HD245 heavy duty modules
and the Leviton 6291 Wall Switch
and 6293 3-Way Wall Switch.
These will be referred to as
APPLIANCE MODULES.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT EXCEED
THE RATINGS FOR THESE MODULES!
LAMP MODULES will not work with
anything other than incandescent
lamps (ordinary light bulbs.) No
TVs, VCRs, ceiling fans, appli-
ances, etc. should be plugged into
lamp modules. Damage can occur to
the module and the appliance.
