Setting the X-10 Operation Parameters
X-10 can control the RVL-6 over your existing AC home wiring. The X-10 commands are comprised of two basic parts,
the address and the command. The address consists of a house code (A-P) and a unit code (1-16). The command is the
function you wish to execute. For more information see Powerline Carrier Controls on page 33.
• The RVL-6 implements the X-10 protocol by assigning a house code and unit code to Room 1 (see
Figure 19
).
• After room 1 is assigned either the house code or unit code is incremented and assigned to Room 2, and
then is reincremented and assigned to Room 3, and so on. The increment method is configured using the
INCR (INCREMENT) DIP switches (see
Figure 20
).
The MODE DIP Switches
The MODE DIP Switches are used to configure a system containing multiple Niles IR products.
UART DIP Switches
• These DIP switches are reserved for future use and have no effect on your RVL-6 system.
