[. . . ] You can turn off your child's radio or night light from your bedroom. You can turn on ALL lights connected to Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Modules with the push of a button if you hear a noise at night. You can even turn off everything in the system with one button to save energy. [. . . ] This key does not affect Appliance Modules. How it works The Sundowner Controller tells the Modules what to do. Command signals are sent over your existing house wiring to the Module or Modules of your choice. The Lamp Module turns on and off, and dims and brightens any incandescent lamp up to 300 watts. The Appliances Module turns on and off appliances such as a TV, (not "instant on" TVs), a window fan, or a stereo. The Wall Switch Module turns on and off, and dims and brightens an incandescent light up to 500 watts, which is normally operated by a wall switch. To turn OFF a light or appliance Press and release the BOTTOM of one of the 4 number keys corresponding to the Unit Code set on the Module to be controlled. To turn off all modules, including Appliance Modules, press the bottom of the All Lights On/All Units Off key. To Dim or Brighten lights Press and release the TOP of the number key for the Lamp Module or Wall Switch Module you want to Dim or Brighten (you can't Dim or Brighten Appliance Modules). Then press the TOP of the Dim/ Bright key to Brighten or the BOTTOM of the Dim/Bright key to Dim the light. The Finder Label is a convenient place to indicate the locations of lights and appliances controller by your system. There is one box for each unit key. Setting up the Sundowner Controller 1. To install your Sundowner Controller, simply plug the power cord into any functioning wall outlet. Position the controller where the light sensor on the front of the controller can "see" daylight, e. g. Set the slide switch on the top of the Sundowner Controller for the Modules you want it to control (1 thru 4 or 5 thru 8). Using a small screwdriver, choose one the 16 letters on the Sundowner Controller's Housecode dial. Set the Sundowner Controller and all the Modules to be controlled by it to the same Housecode letter. Automatic Light Control Test the Dusk-to-Dawn operation by covering up the front of the Sundowner with your hand. The lights you selected (with the slide switches underneath the Sundowner Controller) should come on. Adjust the sensitivity setting for the lights to come on when you want them to - a little trial and error may be needed. 2 3 Using the Sundowner Controller Problem Solving If a particular module won't go on or off from the buttons on the Sundowner Controller: Check that you have power to the outlet controlling the Module and the switch on the light or appliance is ON. The Housecode on the Module and the Sundowner Controller must be set to the same letter. Try plugging the Module and the Sundowner Controller into the same outlet. [. . . ] Appliance Modules will stay as they were before the interruption. Local Control Lights and appliances connected to plug-in Modules can be turned ON with their own power switch. 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. [. . . ]
