6.4 Programming the House Code
& Unit Number
Each automation item has a unique address
selected by dials on the X-10 module. To select the
X-10 address, use one dial to select a letter from A
through P, and the other dial to select a number
from 1 through 16.
To enable the Escort to control the item, program
the X-10 address into the Escort5580 as the
Automation Item House Code and Unit Number.
Refer to the
Automation Item House Code & Unit
Number Chart
located in Appendix B for the 3-digit
number that corresponds to the dial settings.
Program this 3-digit number into the Escort for
each automation item, in sections [130] to [285].
