ADVANCED X10 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
You can remotely set up X10 Scene Addresses as well as On-Levels and Ramp Rates using an X10
Controller capable of sending an X10 address (house code and unit code)
without sending X10 ON or
OFF commands. The following procedures will not work with a transmitter that sends the X10 address
and an X10 command together. X10 Controllers in which one button is pressed to turn an X10 device on
or off WILL NOT WORK.
These procedures all begin by sending the same sequence of five X10 addresses, called the CLEAR
Sequence. After you send the CLEAR Sequence, you have about 4 minutes to finish the procedure
before automatic timeout.
Remotely Setting the On-Level for the X10 Primary Address
This method of setting the On-Level has exactly the same effect as manually setting the Local On-Level
as explained in the section
HOW TO SET UP ON-LEVELS AND RAMP RATES , above.
1. Using an X10 Controller, send the CLEAR Sequence:
2. Send the X10 Primary Address (house code and unit code).
3. Set the On-Level for the X10 Primary Address by adjusting SwitchLinc Dimmer’s brightness using its
paddle or any Controller. If you skip this step, the current On-Level will be used.
4. Send the following X10 Address sequence to lock in the new On-Level:
5. SwitchLinc Dimmer will flash the light it is wired to and blink an LED in its LED Bar, indicating that the
On-Level has been set for the X10 Primary Address.
Remotely Setting the Ramp Rate for the X10 Primary Address
If you use this method for setting the Ramp Rate, you can achieve Ramp Rates ranging from 0.1 second
to 9
minutes . If you use the manual method in the section HOW TO SET UP ON-LEVELS AND RAMP
RATES above, you can only achieve Ramp Rates ranging from 0.1 second to 9 seconds .
This method of setting the Ramp Rate has exactly the same effect as manually setting the Local Ramp
Rate as explained in the section
HOW TO SET UP ON-LEVELS AND RAMP RATES , above.
1. Using an X10 Controller, send the CLEAR Sequence:
2. Send the X10 Primary Address (house code and unit code).
3. Use the paddle or any Controller to adjust SwitchLinc Dimmer’s brightness so it corresponds to the
Ramp Rate you want in the table below. If you use SwitchLinc Dimmer’s paddle and you are careful,
you can still set one of 32 brightnesses even though there are only 9 LED brightness indicators.
Brighter is faster.
