X10 PLATINUM REMOTE MODEL UR73A 5 IN 1 REMOTE OWNER’S MANUAL READ THIS FIRST! SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS Remember to exercise good common sense when using the Home Automation features of your X10 Platinum Remote – especially when scheduling unattended devices. There can be some unexpected consequences if not used with care. For example, an empty coffee pot can be remotely turned on. If that should happen, your coffee pot could be damaged from overheating. If an electric heater is turned on by remote control while clothing is draped over it, a fire could result. DO NOT USE the remote for the control of high power heating appliances such as portable heaters. Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble any part of the Home Automation System’s plug-in Modules or Controllers. No userserviceable parts are inside. If you spill liquid on a unit, disconnect the unit from the AC outlet to prevent possible fire or shock hazard and consult authorized service personnel. Powerline operated equipment or accessories connected to any of these units should bear the UL, or ULc listing mark, or CSA certification mark and should not have been modified in any way that might defeat their safety features. Warning: To prevent electric shock hazard, do not expose any part of the Home Automation System to rain or moisture CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ................................. 4 GETTING STARTED .............................. 5 CONTROLLERS AND M ODULES ............ 5 H OUSE C ODES AND U NIT C ODES ...... 6 I NSTALLING THE COMPONENTS ............... 7 T RANSCEIVER M ODULE ..................... 7 L AMP M ODULE .............................. 8 X10 PLATINUM REMOTE ................... 8 SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE ................... 9 B UTTON D ESCRIPTIONS .................... 9 S ETTING UP FOR TV, VCR, CABLE AND SAT .......................... 10 SEARCHING FOR C ODES ................ 12 I DENTIFYING C ODES FOUND USING THE S EARCH P ROCEDURE ................. 13 PROGRAMMING COMBO DEVICE CODES . 14 CONTROLLING COMBO DEVICES .......... 14 CONTROLLING DEVICES REQUIRING SEPARATE POWER ON AND OFF BUTTONS .......... 15 VCR/DVD/DVR PUNCH-THROUGH FEATURE ................. 15 VOLUME/MUTE CONTROL AND PUNCH-THROUGH FEATURE ................. 16 SETTING ALL VOLUME/MUTE CONTROL TO ANY ONE MODE ....................... 16 SETTING ANY MODE TO USE ITS OWN VOLUME/MUTE CONTROL ................. 17 CONTROLLING X10 MODULES ............. 18 CHANGING THE X10 H OUSE C ODE : 19 CONTROLLING AN IR M INI C ONTROLLER .................... 20 TROUBLESHOOTING .......................... 21 EXPANDING YOUR SYSTEM ................. 22 WARRANTY ................................... 24 I NTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the X10 Platinum Remote. Make your lights and appliances go to work for you.... The X10 Platinum Remote will control most or all of your video and audio equipment. But what really sets it apart from other remotes is that you can also control almost any light or appliance in your home – even in another room! And it’s easy to set up. Within minutes, you can be using your X10 Platinum Remote to dim the lights, start brewing a fresh pot of coffee and play your favorite movie!* Here are just some of the things you can do with your X10 Platinum Remote... • Control your entire audio/video and lighting setup for the ultimate Home Theater experience. • Turn on lights at night to scare away intruders if you hear a noise. • Start the coffee from your bedroom when you wake up. • Turn on your electric blanket before the movie ends, so you it’s nice and warm when you go to bed. Use this manual to become familiar with your X10 Platinum Remote... This manual will explain how to set up your X10 Platinum Remote to use it with your existing Audio/Video equipment. Next it will show you how you can use it to set up an X10 Transceiver Module and Lamp Module (sold separately) to operate electrical products in your home. Finally, the manual will show you can expand your system with some of the many additional X10 products you can purchase. * Requires X10 Modules, sold separately. GETTING STARTED Because we know that you are eager to get started, we’ve kept this introduction as short as possible, but it contains very valuable information, so you should read through it very carefully. CONTROLLERS AND MODULES The first thing you need to understand is that there are two different devices you need to control your house; Controllers and Modules. Any light or appliance that you want to control is plugged into a Module and that Module is then plugged into a standard AC outlet. Modules receive commands from Controllers. Examples include the Lamp Module (sold separately). The Transceiver Module (also sold separately) is another example (although it also doubles as a controller as described later). Controllers are also plugged into standard wall outlets and send commands to Modules over your existing electrical wiring in your house without affecting your electricity in any way. The Transceiver Module works as a controller when it is used with a remote control such as the X10 Platinum Remote. When the Transceiver Module receives a command from a remote it sends digital signals over your existing house wiring to a Module which receives the signals and executes the command. The remote uses radio frequency (RF) signals to send commands to the Transceiver module. RF signals can go right through walls, so you can use the remotes to control lights or appliances from anywhere in your home. HOUSE CODES AND UNIT CODES UNIT CODE DIAL HOUSE CODE DIAL Each Module has a specific address made up of a House Code (red dial on the face of the Module) and a Unit Code (black dial on the face of the Module). The Controller first sends an address and then a command on the AC power lines. Only the Module with a matching address will execute the command. If more than one Module has the same address, both Modules will execute the command. Addresses are set on the Module by turning the two dials on the front of the Module to the desired letter and number (using a small screwdriver or a coin). The House Code is selected from the letters A through P, and the Unit Code is selected from the numbers 1 through 16. INSTALLING THE C OMPONENTS TRANSCEIVER MODULE The Transceiver Module (sold separately) receives radio frequency (RF) commands from the X10 Platinum Remote to operate a lamp or appliance plugged into it. The Transceiver Module also passes on commands over your house wiring to control other X10 modules (also sold separately). Note that unlike the Lamp Module you cannot dim and brighten a lamp connected to the Transceiver Module. You should locate the Transceiver Module centrally in the home for maximum range when controlled by the Platinum Remote. 1. Set the House Code to ‘A.’ 2. Plug a lamp or appliance into the Transceiver Module. 3. Plug the Transceiver Module into a convenient AC outlet. Fully extend the antenna. LAMP MODULE The Lamp Module (sold separately) may be used to control any incandescent lamp rated up to 300W. It is not suitable for other types of lamp such as fluorescent or energy saving lamps, or lamps which include a dimmer control. Caution: Do not connect an appliance such as a coffee pot or heater to the Lamp Module. It may damage the module and the appliance and could cause a fire hazard. SETTING UP YOUR REMOTE 1. Set the House Code to ‘A’ and the Unit Code to ‘2.’ BUTTON DESCRIPTIONS INDICATOR LIGHT 2. Plug a lamp into the Lamp Module. The indicator light flashes when the remote is operating. POWER Works the same as your original remote. TV, VCR, CBL, SAT Used to select the device to control. X10 3. Plug the Lamp Module into a convenient AC outlet. Lets you control X10 modules to operate lamps and appliances around the home. SET UP Used for programming the remote. LAST Selects the last channel viewed on your TV, VCR, or Cable Box. CHANNEL +/- X10 PLATINUM REMOTE Works like your original remote. Also used to switch X10 modules on and off. VOLUME +/- The X10 Platinum Remote lets you control practically everything electrical in your home. It has IR technology that lets you control your TV, VCR, Cable and CD or DVD player, and X10 RF technology that lets you control lamps and appliances anywhere in your home. To find out more about configuring the X10 Platinum Remote to work with your audio/video equipment, see the section titled “Setting Up your Remote.” Works like your original remote. Also used to brighten and dim lamps connected to X10 Modules. MUTE Works the same as your original remote. 0-9 Used as your original remote and to enter device codes. ENTER Same as your original remote. A-B Toggles between TV and Video Mode. MENU 1. Push the tab and lift off the battery cover. Access the Menu function of the device you are controlling (if available). EXIT Used to exit Menu functions. NAVIGATION ARROWS Used to navigate and adjust Menu items of the device you are controlling. OK 2. Insert two AAA batteries, taking care to match the + and - marks in the battery compartment. Select Menu items of the device you are controlling. PLAY, REW, FF, STOP, PAUSE, REC Work the same as on your original remote. You must press the REC button twice to begin recording. A, B, C, D Used for extra functions in certain modes. SETTING UP FOR TV, VCR, CABLE, AND SAT 1. Turn on the device you want to control (TV, VCR, cable box, satellite receiver etc.). 2. Press and hold SETUP until the LED indicator lights steadily. Release the SETUP button. 3. Press and release mode button for the device you want to control. The LED blinks once. (See notes on page 11). 4. Enter the 4 digit Code from the Library Code Table (separate sheet). The LED turns off after the last digit entered. Notes: 1. The TV mode key can only be used to store TV codes but you can store a code for ANY device under either the VCR, CBL, or SAT mode key. E.G., you can store a Cable code under the VCR key, or a Satellite code under the Cable key, etc. 2. If your TV/VCR/Cable Box does not respond, try the other codes for your brand. If it still doesn’t respond, try the Code Search method on page 12. 3. If the LED blinked rapidly when you entered the code, you may have entered an invalid code. Recheck the code in the code list (separate sheet) and try again. 4. If some buttons do not operate your equipment, try one of the other codes for your brand. 5. When searching for a code (page 12) you might have to press CHANNEL+ many times (50+). If the device does not have a Channel Up function, use the PLAY button (VCR only) or the POWER button. 5. Point the remote at the device and press the POWER button. Your device should turn off. 6. Turn your device on and press CHANNEL+. If the device responds, setup is complete. 10 11 SEARCHING FOR CODES 1. Turn on the device you want to control. 2. Press and hold SETUP until the LED indicator lights steadily. Release Setup button. 3. Press the mode button that matches the equipment you want to control. The LED blinks once. 4. Press CHANNEL + repeatedly (note 5, page 11) until the device to be controlled changes channel. If you accidentally go past the code, press CHANNEL repeatedly until the channel changes again. 5. Press and release the ENTER button to complete the setup. The above assumes that you want to store VCR codes under the VCR key, Cable codes under CBL, etc. If you want to store a VCR code under SAT, etc., first follow the procedure on page 11 and try ANY SAT code from the code tables, e.g. press SAT in step 3, page 10, and then enter ANY VCR code. Then follow the steps above. 12 IDENTIFYING CODES FOUND USING THE SEARCH PROCEDURE 1. Press and hold the SETUP until the LED indicator lights steadily. Release Setup button. 2. Press the mode button that matches the equipment you want to identify. The LED blinks once. 3. Press and release SETUP. The LED blinks once. 4. To find the first digit, press each number button from 0 to 9 until the LED blinks. The number you pressed is the first digit of the code. 5. Press each number button from 0 to 9 again as above to find the second and third digits. 6. Press each number button in turn to find the fourth digit. When the fourth digit has been found, the LED goes out. 13 PROGRAMMING COMBO DEVICE CODES Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/ DVD, DVD/VCR, etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode buttons to control both parts of the Combo device. For example, if you have a TV/VCR Combo, you might need to set up one code under the TV button to control the TV part AND a separate code (under any other Mode button) to control the VCR part. CONTROLLING COMBO DEVICES Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/ DVD, DVD/VCR, etc.) have separate buttons on the original remote to select the part of the Combo device to be controlled. For example, if your Combo device is a DVD/VCR then its original remote might have separate DVD and VCR buttons for selection of the Combo part you would control. The equivalent button functions can be found on your Platinum remote by using the device Mode and SETUP buttons. Referring to “Searching for Codes” on page 12, setup a device Mode (e.g. VCR) with the correct code for your Combo device. Assuming the DVD/VCR Combo device is the example and its code is programmed under VCR Mode, press and hold the VCR Mode button for more than one second to send the VCR button command. To send the DVD button command, quickly press and release the SETUP button followed by pressing and releasing the VCR Mode button. This method can be applied similarly to all Combo devices (e.g. TV/ VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR, etc.) and is available for all Modes. Note this feature is not supported by all codes. 14 CONTROLLING DEVICES REQUIRING SEPARATE POWER ON AND OFF BUTTONS Some devices (e.g. certain RCA TVs) require separate Power On and Power Off buttons to turn the device on and off. The equivalent button functions can be found on your Platinum remote by using the device Mode and POWER buttons. Referring to “Searching for Codes” on page 12, setup a device Mode (e.g. TV) with the correct code for your device. Assuming a TV device is the example and its code is programmed under TV Mode, to turn your TV on, press and hold the TV Mode button for more than one second to transmit the Power On button command. To turn the TV off, press and release the POWER button to transmit the Power Off button command. This method can be applied similarly to any device and is available for all Modes. Note this feature is not supported by all codes. VCR/DVD/DVR PUNCH THROUGH FEATURE This remote allows the 6 VCR transport buttons (i.e. PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, FF, REWIND, and REC) to Punch-Through control from any Mode programmed with TV, SAT or Cable codes to the last VCR, DVD or DVR programmed Mode you used. Normally other types of remotes only punch-through (from another Mode) on the 6 VCR buttons to the device programmed under the VCR Mode button. This is not much use if you are using a DVD programmed under a Mode other than VCR. For example, if you have 2 DVD, VCR or DVR devices programmed into this remote, the last one you accessed on the remote will be the one that has control of the 6 VCR transport buttons when in any other Mode. 15 VCR/DVD/DVR PUNCH THROUGH FEATURE, CONT. This feature will not operate if the programmed TV, SAT or Cable code has its own VCR transport button control e.g. a TV Combo, SAT/PVR, etc. VOLUME/MUTE CONTROL AND PUNCH-THROUGH FEATURE This remote lets you select which device Mode controls your Volume/Mute buttons. The remote is initially set (factory default) for all device Modes programmed with “Visual” codes (e.g. TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, SAT & CABLE) and “Audio” codes (e.g. CD & AUDIO) to use their own Volume/Mute control if present. If the programmed “Visual” code has no Volume/Mute operation of its own then those buttons will punch-through control to the TV Mode device without needing to change to TV Mode. Please refer to the next page for more information. Any Mode chosen for Volume/Mute control MUST have its own Volume/Mute function or the Volume/Mute buttons will do nothing. SETTING ALL VOLUME/MUTE CONTROL TO ANY ONE MODE This routine can set all Modes to “punch-through” to any one chosen Mode for Volume/Mute button control without the needing to change to that Mode. 1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator turns on, then release the button. 2. Press and hold the MUTE button until the red indicator blinks off, then release the button. 16 3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.) for Volume/ Mute control, the red indicator blinks then stays on. 4. Press and release the MUTE button and the red indicator turns off. The red indicator will blink rapidly for three seconds if the Mode you have selected has no Volume/Mute control. 5. All other Modes will now punchthrough to your chosen Mode for Volume/Mute control. 6. All “Visual” and “Audio” programmed Modes will now punch-through to the respective Modes you have chosen for Volume/Mute control. SETTING ANY MODE TO USE ITS OWN VOLUME/MUTE CONTROL This routine can set any Mode to use only its own Volume/Mute control. Note If your chosen Mode has no Volume/ Mute functions of its own then the Volume/Mute buttons will do nothing. 1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator turns on, then release the button. 2. Press and hold the MUTE button until the red indicator blinks off, then release the button. 3. Press and release the desired Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.), the red indicator blinks then stays on. 4. Press and release the VOLUME(Down) button, the red indicator blinks then stays on. 5. Press and release the MUTE button and the red indicator turns off. 6. All “Visual” and “Audio” programmed Modes will now punch-through to the respective Modes you have chosen for Volume/Mute control. 17 CONTROLLING X10 MODULES If you have purchased and installed a Transceiver Module, you can control it and other X10 modules as follows: 1. Press and release the X10 button. CHANGING THE X10 HOUSE CODE: The X10 Platinum Remote defaults to House Code A, and in most cases you will not need to change this unless you are experiencing interference from a neighboring X10 system. 1. Press and release the X10 button. 2. Use the number buttons to enter the Unit Code number of the chosen module. (You do not need to enter ‘0’ first for a single digit number.) 2. Press and hold SETUP until the LED indicator lights steadily. Release Setup button. 3. Press the appropriate button for the function you require (see below). X10 FUNCTIONS: On: Off: Bright: Dim: All Lamps On: All Modules Off: 3. Use the number buttons to enter the number equivalent to the chosen House Code (1=A, 2=B ..16=P). CHANNEL + CHANNEL – VOLUME + VOLUME – POWER MUTE Note: You cannot dim or brighten an Appliance Module. If the module was off and you press Bright or Dim (VOLUME+ or VOLUME-) this will simply turn the module on. 18 4. Press the ENTER button to confirm the House Code. The LED turns off. Note: The House Code you choose must match the House Code on the Transceiver and Modules you are using it with. 19 T ROUBLESHOOTING CONTROLLING AN IR MINI CONTROLLER (IR543) If you already own an IR Mini Controller, you will need to change the X10 Home Automation code in the remote to use it. The code for standard X10 RF Home Automation is 0999. The code to control the IR Mini Controller is 0998. To change the code: 1. Press and hold SETUP until the LED indicator lights steadily. Release the SETUP button. 2. Press and release the X10 button. 3. Enter 0998 to control an IR Mini Controller, or 0999 for standard X10 control. The LED turns off after the last digit entered. Note: In most cases, you will not need to use the IR Mini Controller to receive commands from the X10 Platinum Remote – the RF Transceiver Module does this for you and has the added advantage of working through walls. You can if you wish control the IR Mini Controller and the RF Transceiver Module at the same time. To do this store code 0999 under the X10 key and store 0998 under any other key (except TV). 20 The Transceiver Module doesn’t respond to the remote: • Check the House Code on the Transceiver Module is set to ‘A.’ If you have changed the House Code on the remote (see p. 19), check that it matches the House Code on the Transceiver Module. • Make sure the X10 button is set to code 0999, see page 20. • Press the ON/OFF button on the front of the Transceiver to confirm it operates the item connected to it. The Transceiver Module works, but other modules don’t respond: • Check that the Module has the same House Code as the Transceiver Module. • Try plugging the Module into a different outlet. Note: if you use an RF Transceiver (such as the RR501 or TM751) to control X10 Modules, you will be able to control up to 16 Modules. With a Transceiver, when you press 1-6-ON you turn on Module number 16. However, if you use an IR543, when you press 1-6-ON you turn on Modules 1 AND 6. The IR543 can only control 10 Modules (1-9 plus 0=10). The Remote won’t control your A/V equipment, or doesn’t work at all: • Use manual controls or the original remote control to confirm the equipment is working properly. • Be sure you pressed the device key for the device you want to control. • Reenter the code for your A/V product from the code listings on the separate sheet included. • Try searching for codes as described on page 12. • Replace the Remote’s batteries. 21 E XPANDING YOUR S YSTEM The modules illustrated below represent just a few of the wide range of X10 compatible modules you can choose from to expand your Home Automation system.
