5. SETTING UP THE SBC RU880 FOR YOUR PHILIPS POWER CONTROL SYSTEM
5.1 USING THE SBC RU 880 TOGETHER WITH YOUR PHILIPS POWER CONTROL
SYSTEM
The SBC RU880 is ready for controlling a Philips Power Control System. This
innovative system (comprising a range of switches and remote controls) allows
you to control electrical appliances in and around your home using radio-
frequency (RF) operated remote controls. Each Power Control system has its own
house code to prevent interference with a neighbour’s system.
Quick Reference
Caution: Before connecting any appliance to a Power switch check the appliances’
power consumption. These Power switches can control appliances with a
maximum power rating of 1000 Watts!
NOTE: The house code’s default setting is A.
1 Connect the Power switches to mains power outlets.
2 Select the appliances, e.g. lamps, you want to control and plug them into
the Power switches.
If the appliance has its own ON/OFF switch, make sure it is switched on.
Use the SBC RU880 to operate the appliances as follows:
1 Select the HOME mode key.
– The last selected appliance is displayed (for example, UNIT1).
2 Select your module using the 10-digit keypad.
– The LCD displays UNIT X (for example, UNIT 3).
NOTE: Although the unit code on the Power switch can be set from 1 to 16, the
remote control can only operate Power switches with unit code set from 1
to 10.
1 Press Cursor up to switch on the selected appliance.
2 Press Cursor down to switch off the selected appliance.
3 Press P+ to switch all appliances on.
– The SBC RU880 displays ALL ON during key-press and then displays the
last selected appliance.
4 Press P- to switch all appliances off.
– The SBC RU880 displays ALL OFF during key-press and then displays the
last selected appliance.
5.2 SETTING UP THE SBC RU880 FOR DIFFERENT HOUSE CODES.
The Power Control system’s house code prevents interference with a similar
system in your neighbour’s house. Power Control Systems only respond to signals
with the correct house code. The house code's default setting is A.
To change the house code:
Verify that the house code already is installed. Look at the house code selection
wheel at the rear of the switches (A-P). If you want to change the house code
turn this wheel with a screwdriver.
NOTE: Ensure that the house code you have selected for the remote control and all
Power switches is the same!
Look at the code list at the back of this book under Power Control to find the
first three-digit code for your house code.
1 Press the HOME mode key.
2 Press and hold the SMART key (for about three seconds until the LCD
displays TIMER. Release the SMART key.
3 Press Cursor up or Cursor down until the LCD displays SETUP.
4 Press OK.
– The LCD displays ENTER CODE. The SBC RU880 is now in set-up mode.
5 Press OK.
– The SBC RU880 is now in programming mode and the LCD displays HOME.
6 Press OK.
7 Enter the three-digit code using the keypad.
– If the code is correct the display indicates OK for a second and the SBC
RU880 returns to normal operation.
NOTE: It's not possible to search/copy Power Control System codes, since these
codes are not infra-red.
