Addressing: 
 

Enter a unique address (from ‘00’ to ‘FE’ except for ‘81’, ‘91’, ‘A1’, ‘B1’, ‘C1’, ‘D1’, ‘E1’, ‘FE’ and ‘FF’) for each 
module through the ‘ADDR’ rotating switches. These addresses can be used to learn the push buttons. In case of 
a modification of the addresses, the lamp will be switched off and all LEDs of the corresponding control push 
buttons will be turned off. 

 
Time setting: 

 
A time will be chosen depending on the configuration of the ‘TIME’  rotating switch: 
 

TIME
