PLACING THE CONTROL CENTER
MODULE
Because the control center’s module is a receiver and
also a transmitter, you need to consider the best location
for its installation.
If you only want to use the control center module to con-
trol something plugged into it, then connect it to an outlet
near the lamp or appliance you want to control. However,
if you want to control other Plug ’N Power modules
through the control center receiver, consider a location
where it can receive the signals from the remote control
more easily.
Some houses have aluminum-clad insulation that might
act as a barrier to radio signals, depending on where the
control center module is located. You might find that you
can activate the control center receiver from a greater
distance if you place it in your garage, which is usually
not as insulated as the rest of the house.
If your house is large, you can increase the transmitting
range by adding multiple Wireless Remote Control Sys-
tems.
