Control System
Module 2
Works
You can easily assemble the Home Security Light
Control System by using the main unit and the
supplied Light Control Modules (2 modules are
included in the package). The main unit sends
signals through your house wiring system to the
Light Control Modules and automatically turn
the connected lights on or off to give your home
a lived-in look while you are away.
About the ID CODE
You can choose from 16 transmission codes to
prevent signal interference from other similar
systems used in the same household or
apartment complex, etc.
Guestroom
About the Light Control
Code
You can choose from Light control code 1 or 2 on
the Light Control Module. Light control code 1
and 2 are linked to LIGHT•1 and 2, respectively,
of the main unit, and can be controlled
