MONTEREY INSTRUMENTS X10 TELEMASTER

TURN YOUR PHONE INTO AN X10 CONTROLLER!

The Telemaster allows you to control all of your lights, appliances, and electronics from any touch-tone phone, including cordless and cellular phones!

Imagine turning on your home's lights, warming up the hot tub, and setting your thermostat to 72 degrees on your drive home from work! Telemaster talks directly to all X10 controlled devices (sold separately), and to all 256 possible codes. Calling from outside one's home requires a 4-digit security code, but once inside the home, the code is no longer required.

Simple to operate... Dial normally to make phone calls. For X10 control, press * for ON or press # for OFF, followed by a number. For example, from within the house, dialing *26 turns X10 receiver B6 ON.

Simple to install... Just plug in the Telemaster into any phone jack, connect the X10 Powerline Interface, and instantly use all phones in your home as X10 controllers. Telemaster is fully compatible with voice mail, call waiting, and answering machines.

The Telemaster can also be expanded for use as an intercom system! The Intercom Interface (part number MITMSI, sold separately) uses your existing house telephones and allows for conversation between the house phones.

MY TELEPHONE AS AN X10 DEVICE?!

You bet!

Don’t forget the telephone! What single device is wired into every home more than any other? Yes, the telephone. The telephone is very adept at carrying voice and data over great distances, so it is only natural that this device would find a place in home automation. Extend the control over your home by using the telephone to receive your commands and send them to your home automation system. Imagine calling your home on the cell phone during your evening commute. When you arrive, the porch light is on, the kitchen is lit and, since it is chilly tonight, the furnace has been turned on. This is but a bit of the power of the telephone in your automation system.

X10 Telemaster Instruction Manual (.pdf)

TRANSMITS UP TO 256 CODES: The Telemaster can transmit all 256 X10 codes, but in doing so, results in having to dial more digits on the phone. The Telemaster can be selected to operate 9, 90, 160, or all 256 X10 codes, and would require 2, 3, 4, or 5 keypad presses on the telephone, respectively. Dip-switches are used to select the number of codes.

9 CODES, House Code A only, Number Codes 1 through 9 Example: *3 would turn A3 ON
90 CODES, House Codes A(press 1) - J(press 0), Number Codes 1 - 9 Example: *23 turns B3 ON
160 CODES, House Code A(1) - J(0), Number Codes 1(01) - 16(16) Example: #012 turns J12 OFF
256 CODES, House Code A - P(Uses two numbers to represent the House Code. First number is the number of the 3-letter group of the desired house code, and the second is the position of the letter in that group), Number Codes 1(01) - 16(16) Example: #6215 turns N15 OFF.

REMOTE DIMMING: Lamp modules and dimmer wall switches may be dimmed and brightened by sending the appropriate ON command and NOT releasing the last button of the command string. The telephone must be able to produce a continuous tone as long as the button is pressed. Dimming will continue as long as the button is pressed. To brighten, press the same button again within 1 second. The lamp will brighten as long as the button is pressed.

HEARING IMPAIRED RING DETECTION: P16 ON and OFF commands are issued each time the telephone rings. Lights connected to X10 modules and switches set to address P16 can be made to turn on and off to provide a visual indication that the phone is ringing.

SECURITY CODE PROTECTION: Each Telemaster comes with a pre-assigned 4-digit security code which has to entered whenever the Telemaster is being used outside of the home. From any outside telephone, call the number the Telemaster is connected to. The Telemaster will respond with five beeps prompting the entry of the security code. Once the correct code has been entered, the Telemaster will confirm acceptance of the code by again beeping five times.

The Telemaster comes complete with the following:

Telemaster controller (Dimensions: 3.75" W x 2.25" H x .875" D)
One X10 Powerline Interface Plug-in Module
One AC Power Adapter, 12VDC , 400 milliamp output
