The MESSENGER HUB is the brain of the Freewire system. When it is plugged into an AC
outlet it has the ability to receive Radio Frequency (RF) signals from the remotes and the
ability to send messages through existing house wiring to all receivers that are dialed to the
same house code.
It is also used to control *incandescent lamps only, rated up to 500 watts, connected to the
plug receptacle at the bottom of the MESSENGER HUB. Note: For restrictions and
instructions see MESSENGER HUB section.
MESSENGER HUB
*Do not use fluorescent, low wattage, energy saving and halogen bulbs.
12
A LAMP RECEIVER must be used in conjunction with at least one active MESSENGER
HUB. It is used to control *incandescent lamps only rated up to 300 watts. Note: For
restrictions and instructions see LAMP RECEIVER section.
*Do not use fluorescent, low wattage, energy saving and halogen bulbs.
LAMP RECEIVER
The BULB RECEIVER must be used in conjunction with at least one MESSENGER HUB. It
is used to control an indoor or outdoor incandescent light (up to 150 watts) that is normally
controlled by a wall switch.
*Do not use fluorescent, low wattage, energy saving and halogen bulbs.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE SEQUENCE LAID OUT IN THIS MANUAL TO AVOID CONFUSION
Step by step instructions to set up the MESSENGER HUB:
A Quick Note Before You Set Up MESSENGER HUB:
WARNING: For indoor use only.
Each receiver has a specific address made up of a HOUSE CODE (bottom dial) and a Unit Code (upper dial) which is used to communicate with
the MESSENGER HUB.
The function of the HOUSE CODE is to prevent interference from another FREEWIRE system. If at any time, you experience interference with
another system please choose another setting for your HOUSE CODE A - P. The letter selected must be the same on all RECEIVERS and the
MESSENGER HUB.
Step 1:
Plug MESSENGER HUB into any operational AC outlet within your home. Rotate
antenna to the upright position. Open the front door to expose control panel as
shown in Figure 1. NOTE: Placing the MESSENGER HUB on the inside wall
closest to driveway or entry way, will often maximize range of the KEY CHAIN
REMOTE.

Step by step operating instructions for the BULB RECEIVER
A Quick Note before You Set Up the BULB RECEIVERs:
The BULB RECEIVER can be used indoors and outdoors.
WARNING: To keep rain out when used outdoors, mount the BULB RECEIVER in the orientation shown in Figure 10.
10
Unlike LAMP and APPLIANCE RECEIVERS the BULB RECEIVER does not have any code wheels. You set its code up
from the MESSENGER HUB and it then remembers this code, even after a power outage. For ease of programming, initially
place the BULB RECEIVER in a lamp that can be set up in the same wall outlet that the MESSENGER HUB is plugged into.
After programming you can move it to its final location (in an outdoor light fixture for example).
Step 1:
Make sure the lamp is turned to the “ON” position and then it must be unplugged! Unscrew your existing light bulb
from its socket and screw the BULB RECEIVER into the light socket as shown in Figure 11. CAUTION: BULB
RECEIVER raises the bulb approximately two inches. If bulb touches lamp shade or lamp frame, you must purchase a
shorter bulb to use this lamp. Screw an incandescent light bulbs only (up to 150W) into the BULB RECEIVER. DO NOT
use with fluorescent lamps.
11
Step 2:
Set the unit code on the INDOOR REMOTE to the color and number that you want to use to control the BULB RECEIVER
in its final location. (Example : Red 1)
Step 3:
12
Plug the lamp into the same wall outlet as the MESSENGER HUB or you can move the MESSENGER HUB and
plug into the same wall outlet as the lamp. (The Messenger Hub will not lose its memory and it can be moved
back later.) See Figure 12.
Within 30 seconds of plugging lamp in, press and hold for 5 seconds the on button on the INDOOR REMOTE that
corresponds to the UNIT CODE that you have selected. The light should turn on.
NOTE: If the light does not turn on in 5 seconds, unplug the lamp and then re-plug and repeat step 3. If lamp still
does not turn on, move the MESSENGER HUB and lamp to a different outlet in a different room and repeat step 3.
Step 4:
If you wish to use the BULB RECEIVER in a different lamp, unplug lamp, remove bulb and BULB RECEIVER.
Place BULB RECEIVER in new lamp. BULB RECEIVER will remember unit code setting that was established in
step 3.
BULB RECEIVER NOTES:
• You must leave the lamp switch or wall switch on at all times otherwise the BULB RECEIVER will have no AC power and you won’t be
able to control it remotely.
• The BULB RECEIVER does not have local control (you cannot turn the light on from its regular switch).
• The BULB RECEIVER does not respond to bright and dim commands. It does respond to ALL lights On and ALL units Off commands.
NOTE: When using the BULB RECEIVER, you cannot control the lamp by the lamps switch. Turning the lamp switch off will cause the BULB
RECEIVER to go into program mode and will need to be reprogrammed. See page 7.

Step by step instruction to developing MOOD SETTINGS
A Quick Note before You Program the Mood Settings:
In the Lamp Receiver section you learned how to set up individual LAMP RECEIVERs. These LAMP RECEIVERs are turned on and off by
pressing the appropriate rocker switch that corresponds to the receivers unique UNIT CODE. The purpose of the MOOD buttons (blue) are to link
multiple receivers (up to 4) so that they can be turned on or off by the MOOD button. See Figure 16.
Example: If you have a LAMP RECEIVER in one room and it is set to the number 7 on its UNIT CODE and you have another LAMP RECEIVER
in another room and it is set up to the number 13 on its UNIT CODE, the two lamps can be turned on at the same time using a MOOD.

TROUBLESHOOTING
DIFFICULTY PROGRAMMING RECEIVERS
If you are experiencing problems when programming the BULB RECEIVER, it may be due to electrical interference on the power lines caused
by large appliances such as refrigerators or TV’s. To avoid the interference, move the Receiver while it is being programmed to a different wall
outlet that is further away from large appliances.
SOME RECEIVERS DON’T RESPOND
Most houses are fed from a 220 volt service which is then split into two phases of 110 volts each in the circuit breaker panel. The most
commonly encountered problem with systems which use the existing house wiring to transmit signals is that the signals are received by some
Receivers, but not by others. For example, the MESSENGER HUB controls some lights but not others or controls some lights intermittently.
This can happen sometimes when the Receiver to be controlled is on the opposite phase of the house wiring to the phase which the
MESSENGER HUB is connected to.
If
•
•
•
some of the Receivers are not working it may be necessary to:
move the Receiver to a different wall outlet to test that it works.If it still doesn’t work:
move the Receiver to a different room. If it still doesn’t work:
move the Receiver to the closest outlet that the MESSENGER HUB is plugged into or move the MESSENGER HUB to the closest outlet to the
Receiver that is not working.
RECEIVERS TURN ON BY THEMSELVES
If it is suspected that Receivers have turned on by themselves, the first step should be to change the HOUSE CODE on the MESSENGER
HUB and all Receivers. It is possible that a neighbor has the same system or another compatible system.
THREE WAY BULBS AND TOUCH ACTIVATED LAMPS
CAUTION: Touch activated lamps should not be used with LAMP RECEIVERS or BULB RECEIVERS, damage to lamp may occur.
Three way bulbs may be used, however, only one level of brightness can be activated using the Freewire system. To change brightness level
you will need to turn the switch at the lamp to the desired level of brightness.
NOTE: When using the BULB RECEIVER, you cannot control the lamp by the lamps switch. Turning the lamp switch off will cause the BULB
RECEIVER to go into program mode and will need to be reprogrammed. See page 7.
WIRELESS INTERCOMS
Intercom systems which use the house wiring to transmit can “block out” FREEWIRE transmissions while the intercom is left in the permanent
transmit (talk) mode.It is NOT possible to have a wireless intercom and a MESSENGER HUB operating in the same house. It is possible that a
neighbor’s wireless intercom could affect your system.
KEY CHAIN REMOTE RANGE OF USE
Placing the MESSENGER HUB on the inside wall closet to driveway or entry way, will often maximize range of KEY CHAIN REMOTE.
SOME DON’TS
• Don’t use a LAMP RECEIVER to control a lamp or fixture which already has a dimmer on it.
• Don’t leave a wireless intercom or baby monitor in the permanent transmit (or talk) mode. Its transmissions could “block out” FREEWIRE
transmissions.
• Don’t exceed the rating of the Receivers, these are:
• BULB RECEIVER - 150 watts - incandescent bulbs only.
• LAMP RECEIVER - 300 watts - incandescent bulbs only.
• MESSENGER HUB - 500 watts - incandescent bulbs only.
