INPUT MODE
POWERFLASH INTERFACE
TEST ALL UNITS OFF
The Powerflash Universal Interface provides a way to
interface to conventional security systems, and other contact
closure or voltage output devices, to control X10 powerline
controlled products, to turn on lights, flash lights, activate
plug-in alarm sirens, etc.
The Powerflash Interface has terminals for two types of
inputs, determined by the INPUT slide switch:
Position A: 6-18 VDC
Position B: Dry contact closure
Setting up the Powerflash Interface
• Use a small screwdriver to set the desired House Code and Unit Code A-P and 1-16.
• Adjust the MODE slide switch to select the desired mode of operation as follows:
1. Turns on all Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Modules set to the same Housecode
as the Powerflash Interface. Also turns on Appliance Modules set to the same
Housecode and Unit Code as the Powerflash Interface. When the alarm is reset,
only the Modules set to the same Housecode and Unit Code as the Powerflash
Interface are turned off.
2. Flashes all Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Modules set to the same Housecode
as the Powerflash Interface. When reset all lights stay on.
3. Turns on Lamp Modules and Appliance Modules set to the same Housecode and
Unit Code as the Powerflash Interface. When reset, turns the same Module off.
• Connect the terminals on the Powerflash Interface to the burglar alarm or output
device such as a driveway sensor or similar contact closure.
Note: Observe the polarity shown on the unit if the alarm output is DC voltage.
• Plug the Powerflash Interface into a 120VAC wall outlet.
