INTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION
NTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION
NTRODUCTION
Your Wireless Audio Sender kit consists of a Sender base unit which
connects to the audio out jack on any audio source, a Receiver unit
with built-in speaker drivers to which you connect your own
speakers,* and a remote control that lets you control the volume,
balance, bass, treble, etc. The Audio Sender converts the audio
signal from your CD player, stereo, PC sound card, etc. into a radio
frequency (RF) signal and transmits it (even through walls) to the
Audio Receiver unit. The Audio Receiver converts the signal back to
its original form, amplifies the signal, and passes it to your connected
speakers. The remote is also a Universal Remote so it can also control
your TV, VCR, etc. It can also control an MP3, DVD, and CD player
in your PC when used with an additional RF receiver and software
(see page 17). It can even control lights and appliances around your
home when used with X10 Modules (see pages 24 and 25).
Place the receiver and speakers on your deck for example, and listen
to high quality audio outside while you're having a barbecue. Do not
leave the unit outside however, see below.

The Wireless Audio Sender usually works best with the flat faces of
the antennas on the Sender and Receiver units facing each other (i.e.
in “Line of sight” - see diagram below). Sometimes, however,
reflections and other effects in your home may affect the signal so
that some adjustment of either the Sender or Receiver antenna might
be necessary to get the best signal.

The Transceiver Module (sold separately) receives radio frequency
(RF) commands from the UR78A Remote to operate a lamp or
appliance plugged into it. The Transceiver Module also passes on
commands over your house wiring to control other X10 modules (also
sold separately). Note that unlike the Lamp Module you cannot dim
or brighten a lamp connected to the Transceiver Module.
You should locate the Transceiver Module centrally in your home for
maximum range when controlled by the UR78A Remote.

Each Module has a specific address made up of a House Code (red
dial on the face of the Module) and a Unit Code (black dial on the
face of the Module).
Addresses are set on the Module by turning the two dials on the front
of the Module to the desired letter and number (using a small
screwdriver or a coin). The House Code is selected from the letters A
through P, and the Unit Code is selected from the numbers 1 - 16.
The Controller first sends an address
and then a command on the AC
power lines. Only the Module with a
matching address will execute the
command. If more than one Module
has the same address, both Modules
will execute the command.

The first thing you need to understand is that there
are two different devices you need to control your
home; Controllers and Modules. Any light or
appliance that you want to control is plugged into a
Module and that Module is then plugged into a
standard AC outlet.
Modules receive commands from Controllers.
Examples include the Lamp Module (sold
separately). The Transceiver Module (also sold
separately) is another example (although it also
doubles as a controller as described later).
Controllers are also plugged into standard wall
outlets and send commands to Modules over your
existing electrical wiring in your home without
affecting your electricity in any way.
The Transceiver Module works as a controller when it is
used with a remote control such as the UR78A Remote.
When the Transceiver Module receives a command
from a remote it sends digital signals over your
existing house wiring to a Module which receives the
signals and executes the command.
The remote uses radio frequency (RF) signals to send
commands to the Transceiver module. RF signals
can go right through walls, so you can use the
remote to control lights or appliances from

incandescent lamp rated up to 300W. It is not suitable for other types
of lamp such as fluorescent or energy saving lamps, or lamps which
include a dimmer control.
Caution: Do not connect an appliance such as a coffee pot or heater
to the Lamp Module. It may damage the module and the appliance
and could cause a fire hazard. Use an Appliance Module instead.

If you already own an IR Mini Controller, Model IR543, you will need
to change the X10 Home Automation code in the UR78A remote to
use it. The code for standard X10 RF Home Automation is 999. The
code to control the IR Mini Controller is 998. To change the code:
1.1.
1.1.
1. Press and hold
SETUP until the LED
indicator lights
steadily. Release the
SETUP button.
2.2.
2.2.
2. Press and release
the X10 button.
3.3.

3. Enter 998 to control
an IR543, IR Mini
Controller, or 999
for standard X10
control. The LED
turns off after the last
digit entered.
Note: In most cases, you will not need to use the IR Mini Controller to
receive commands from the UR78A Remote - the RF Transceiver
Module does this for you and has the added advantage of working
through walls. You can if you wish control the IR Mini Controller and
the Transceiver Module at the same time. To do this store code 999
under the X10 key and store 998 under any other key (except TV).
See page 27 for more info on using an IR543.

The modules illustrated below represent just a few of the wide range
of X10 compatible modules you can choose from to expand your
Home Automation system. They are available from electrical outlets,
department stores and mail order catalogs.
X10 Home Automation products also integrate with X10 security
systems, so you can use the security remotes that come with them to
control macros and flash lights when the security system is tripped.
For more information on these and many other X10 products, visit our
Web Site at: WWW.X10.COM
Use the Mini Timer MT10AMini Timer MT10A

Transceiver Module.
• Try plugging the Module into a different outlet.
Note: if you use an RF Transceiver (such as the RR501 or TM751) to
control X10 Modules, you will be able to control up to 16
Modules. With a Transceiver, when you press 1-6-ON you turn on
Module number 16. However, if you use an IR543, when you
press 1-6-ON you turn on Modules 1 AND 6. The IR543 can only
control 10 Modules (1-9 plus 0=10).
