The is the X-10 PRO brand 3-pin plug-in appliance module PAM02. Similar to the Powerhouse brand AM466 appliance module except it has A.G.C. for greater signal sensitivity and better noise rejection. This module can be used with appliances that have a grounded plug. X10 appliance modules come in two different configurations, one for appliances with 2-prong plugs and one for appliances with 3-prong grounded plugs. You can use 3-prong modules with 2-prong appliances.
To have ON/OFF control, you simply plug in any appliance or lamp, set the house and units codes that you want it to respond to, and plug the module into the wall. This also has local control--meaning that you can turn on (without a remote) the lamp or appliance simply by turning its own power switch on, off, and then on again. Does not have any dimming functions for a lamp. Works with an X10 transceiver module or security system base receiver for wireless remote control. Responds to ALL OFF commands.
NOTE: The local control feature can sometimes cause devices to turn on by themselves. This can happen when using the PAM02 appliance module with standard fluorescent lights, CFL bulbs, or even a bug zapper. The actual model number AM466 (Powerhouse Brand) would be better to use for these types of devices as they do not have the local control feature. An alternative would be to disable the local control feature. For those with some electrical knowledge, I found the easiest way to do this is to solder a 1/4 watt 220 K ohm resistor across the AC output leads of the module. The older style modules had a wire jumper on the circuit board labeled "link" that you could cut to disable the local control. But the newest version of these no longer has that.
Great for remote control of air conditioners, fans, pool pumps, toasters, coffee makers, popcorn makers, stereos, refrigerators, Christmas lights, lamps, electric blankets -- virtually anything with a plug that you want to control by remote.
Compatible with all manufacturer's X10 products including those from but not limited to GE, IBM, HomeLink, Leviton, Magnavox, RCA, Radio Shack, Safety First, Smarthome, Stanley, X10, and X-10 PRO.
