X10 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS 

ICON Appliance Adapter is X10 ready, meaning that it can respond to X10 commands from an X10 
controller.  However, 

to operate ICON Appliance Adapter in X10 mode

you must first set up an X10 

Primary Address

.  As it ships from the factory, or after a factory reset procedure, Icon Appliance Adapter 

will have no X10 Primary Address assigned.

 

Setting the X10 Primary Address 

You must do this before ICON Appliance Adapter will respond to X10 commands.

  You can use any 

of the 256 possible X10 addresses for the X10 Primary Address.  

1.  Press and hold the black 

SET Button

 on ICON Appliance Adapter for 3 seconds.  The green Status 

LED will begin flashing and the lamp you are controlling will blink to confirm that you are setting up an 
X10 Primary Address. 

2.  Use an X10 Controller to send an 

X10 address and an ON command

 

THREE TIMES

.  You have 

about 30 seconds to perform this step before setup mode expires.  (NOTE:  If you send an 

X10 OFF

 

command during this step, Local Control will be disabled.  See the next section for an explanation.) 

3.  Once ICON Appliance Adapter has received the X10 Address and an ON or OFF command, the 

Status LED on ICON Appliance Adapter will stop flashing and the X10 Primary Address will be set. 

Removing the X10 Primary Address 

1.  Press and hold the black 

SET Button

 on ICON Appliance Adapter for 3 seconds.  The green Status 

LED will begin flashing to confirm that you are setting up an X10 Primary Address. 

2.  Press and hold the black 

SET Button

 on ICON Appliance Adapter for 3 seconds 

again

.  

3.  Use an X10 Controller to send any 

X10 ON Address THREE TIMES

.  You have about 30 seconds to 

perform this step before setup mode expires.  The green Status LED will stop flashing to confirm that 
you have removed the X10 Primary Address. 

Enabling or Disabling Local Control 

Local Control allows you to manually turn on the non-dimmable device or lamp you plugged into ICON 
Appliance Adapter by using the switch on the device itself, without sending a command from an X10 or 
INSTEON Controller.  By default, Local Control is enabled.  You can disable Local Control by setting the 
X10 Primary Address using an X10 OFF command in Step 2 above.  Remember that if the switch on the 
device itself is turned off, ICON Appliance Adapter will not be able to control the device.
