Unit Numbers
Each module has its own Unit Number. Any unit number that is not being used for an ALC Switch Module may be used for an
X-10 Module. ALC Switch Modules and X-10 Modules may not be assigned to the same unit number.
Each ALC switch module must have a unique address. ALC switch modules may NOT have the same address. ALC Modules
have 16 possible addresses, 1 through 16.
More than one X-10 Module can have the same unit number if you want to control multiple lights with the same unit number.
X-10 Modules have 16 possible unit numbers, 1 through 16.
Aegis 1000 systems have 36 unit numbers. They consist of ALC and X-10 module unit numbers, hardwire voltage output unit
numbers, and internal flag unit numbers as follows:
Aegis 1000 Unit Numbers Modules / Output Unit Numbers
1 - 16 X-10 modules 1 -
16, House Code X ("X" represents the House Code setting on the Aegis
1000)

Scrolling Through Names
The Aegis 1000 stores names for Units, Zones, Buttons, Codes, and Temperatures so that you don't have to remember that "UNIT
5" is the "DEN LIGHT" and "ZONE 1" is the "FRONT DOOR". In general, any time you enter a zone, unit, button, code,
temperature, or message number, you can press the down arrow key to display its name, then use the up and down arrow keys to
scroll through the list of other names. This is true when entering commands and programming on the console.
Controlling Units
The control menu is used when controlling lights and appliances. To enter the control menu, from the top-level display or from
the main menu, press the 1 (CTRL) key on the console keypad. Aegis 1000 will automatically display the first named item in that
list. The down arrow key can then be used to scroll through the list, and the ' # ' key is used to select the item. If the specific item
number is known, enter the item number followed be the ' # ' key, or scroll up and down among the named items.
After the unit has been selected, press the ' # ' key. The console will display:
Porch Light (Unit Name)
0=OFF 1=ON 2=DIM 3=BRT ↓
Porch Light (Unit Name)
4=LVL 5=RMP 9=TIM #=STA↑
