X10 PROGRAMMING OPTIONS
ICON Lamp Dimmer is backward-compatible with X10, meaning that it can respond to X10 commands
from an X10 Controller. However, to operate ICON Lamp Dimmer in X10 mode, you must first set up
an X10 Primary Address. As It ships from the factory, or after a factory reset procedure, ICON Lamp
Dimmer will have no X10 Primary Address set up.
Setting the X10 Primary Address
You must do this before ICON Lamp Dimmer will respond to X10 commands. You can use any of
the 256 possible X10 addresses for the X10 Primary Address.
1. Press and hold the black SET Button on ICON Lamp Dimmer for 3 seconds. The green Status LED
will begin flashing and the lamp you are controlling will blink to confirm that you are setting up an X10
Primary Address.
2. Use an X10 Controller to send an X10 ON command THREE TIMES (e.g. A1 ON A1 ON A1 ON).
You have about 30 seconds to perform this step before setup mode expires. (NOTE: If you send an
X10 OFF command during this step, Local Control will be disabled. See the next section for an
explanation.)
3. Once ICON Lamp Dimmer has received the X10 Address and X10 ON or X10 OFF THREE TIMES,
the Status LED on ICON Lamp Dimmer will stop flashing and the X10 Primary Address will be set.
Removing the X10 Primary Address
1. Press and hold the black SET Button on ICON Lamp Dimmer for 3 seconds. The green Status LED
will begin flashing and the lamp you are controlling will blink to confirm that you are setting up an X10
Primary Address.
2. Press and hold the black SET Button on ICON Lamp Dimmer for 3 seconds again and send any X10
address THREE TIMES (e.g. A1 ON A1 ON A1 ON). The green Status LED will stop flashing and the
lamp you are controlling will blink again to confirm that you have removed the X10 Primary Address.
Enabling or Disabling Local Control
Local Control allows you to manually turn on the lamp you plugged into ICON Lamp Dimmer by using the
switch on the lamp itself, without sending a command from an X10 or INSTEON Controller. By default,
Local Control is enabled. You can disable Local Control by setting the X10 Primary Address using an
X10 OFF command in Step 2 above. Remember that if the switch on the lamp itself is turned off, ICON
Lamp Dimmer will not be able to control the lamp.
Setting the X10 On-Level for the X10 Primary Address
The X10 On-Level is the brightness that the lamp you are controlling will go to when you turn it on using
an X10 Controller. The X10 On-Level can be adjusted from OFF to 100% brightness. The default is
100%
1. Using the BRIGHT, DIM, ON, or OFF Buttons on any Controller, adjust the brightness of the lamp
you are controlling to the desired On-Level.
2. Tap the SET Button on ICON Lamp Dimmer ONCE. The lamp you are controlling will blink to
confirm the X10 On-Level setting.
