prone to errors as X10 communications can be. If X10 must be used, the X10
Control Interface (i.e. IM513) is plugged in to the Control port on the
AquaController Apex Base Module or in to the last legacy device in the Control
chain. All X10 addresses must be manually added to the Apex system. Blocks of
X10 addresses (i.e. B1 – B8) can be added by adding a DC4 or DC8 at the
appropriate starting X10 address and deleting any extra X10 outlets that are not
to be used. To add a DC4 or DC8, follow the instructions in the section titled
Adding Legacy Modules to the Apex System. To add a single X10 address follow
the instructions in the next section titled Adding Legacy Outlets.
WARNING: X10 connected devices can be unreliable and prone to noise
and environmental conditions. Users are urged to use EnergyBar or legacy
Direct Connect outlets with the AquaController Apex system to ensure the most
reliable control.
