Using the Maxi Controller
Problem Solving
If a particular module won’t go on or off from the buttons on the Maxi Controller:
Check that you have power to the outlet controlling the Module and the switch on the light or
appliance is ON.
Check that the Unit Code on the Module is set to the correct number. Check that the Housecode on
the Module is set correctly. The Housecode on the Module and the Maxi Controller must be set to the
same letter.
Try plugging the Module and the Maxi Controller into the same outlet. If the Module doesn’t work
in ANY outlet, not even with the Module and the Maxi Controller in the same duplex receptacle (top
and bottom) the Module might be defective. Contact

If you can’t control ANY modules from the Maxi Controller
Check that you have power to the outlet for the Maxi Controller. Check that the Housecode on the
Maxi Controller is set correctly. Try plugging the Module and the Maxi Controller into the same
outlet. If NONE of your Modules work in ANY outlet, not even with the Module and the Maxi
Controller in the same duplex receptacle (top and bottom) the Maxi Controller might be defective.

Intercom Systems
Intercom systems which send voice signals over existing electrical wiring may interfere with the
operation of the Maxi Controller when the intercom is in use. If the Intercom system has its own
separate wiring it will not cause a problem.
Power Interruptions
When the power is restored after an outage, Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Modules will normally
be OFF. Appliance Modules will stay as they were before the interruption.
Manual Control
Lights and appliances connected to plug-in Modules can be turned ON with their own power switch.
Simply turn the switch OFF then ON again once or twice. For lamps with three-way bulbs, you might
have to rotate the power switch a few times before the light comes on.
The Wall Switch Module can be turned ON or OFF locally using its push button. The power On-Off
switch on the Wall Switch Module is used to completely turn off the power. For example, when
changing a light bulb.
