Step by step instructions to set up the MESSENGER HUB:
A Quick Note Before You Set Up The MESSENGER HUB:
WARNING: For indoor use only. If a FREEWIRE product is exposed to rain or moisture, immediately disconnect the FREEWIRE product
from the AC outlet to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire and consult authorized service personnel.
WARNING: Use only incandescent bulbs (up to 500 watts total) in lamps that are to be controlled by the Messenger Hub.
Each receiver has a specific address made up of a HOUSE CODE (bottom dial) and a UNIT CODE (upper dial) which is used to communicate
with the MESSENGER HUB.
The function of the HOUSE CODE is to prevent interference from another FREEWIRE or other compatible system. If you experience
interference with another system at any time, which may result in unexpected turn on/off of devices plugged into either system, unplug all
FREEWIRE devices immediately until (1) the source of the interference is identified and eliminated through selection of a different HOUSE
CODE to ensure that neither system causes unintended operation of the other system or (2) a blocking filter, Black and Decker Model number
PZZ01, is installed. Call 1-888-678-7278 to order. Professional installation recommended. If you cannot identify the source of interference by
talking with neighbors who are using a FREEWIRE or compatible system and you do not want to install a blocking filter, or if you have any
questions about identifying or eliminating interference, please call 1-800-544-6986 before plugging in or using any FREEWIRE device.
Step 1:
Plug the MESSENGER HUB into any operational AC outlet within your home.
Rotate antenna to the upright position. Open the front door to expose the control
panel as shown in Figure 1. NOTE: Placing the MESSENGER HUB on the
inside wall closest to driveway or entry way, will often maximize range of the
KEY CHAIN REMOTE.
Step 2:
Select a HOUSE CODE on the MESSENGER HUB, any letter A - P. (Note: The
house code you select for the MESSENGER HUB will dictate what letter you will
select for all of the RECEIVERS you plan to control with this MESSENGER HUB.)
Step 3:
Select a UNIT CODE on the MESSENGER HUB, any number 1 - 16. The number
and corresponding color you pick will control the lamp outlet located on the
underside of this MESSENGER HUB. (If you select the same number and same
house code for any additional receivers on this system they will operate in conjunction with this hub.)
Step 4:
Synchronize your INDOOR REMOTE with your MESSENGER HUB so they understand how to communicate with each other. (Note: Any
additional remote that is introduced to the system must also be synchronized.)
To synchronize, move the MESSENGER HUB slide switch to LEARN.
While facing the MESSENGER HUB, press and hold the middle "ON" button of the INDOOR REMOTE for 5
seconds - Figure 2. Be sure to see the green light flash on the MESSENGER HUB. The flash will indicate
that the MESSENGER HUB is now synchronized with the INDOOR REMOTE.
Now, move the slide switch on the MESSENGER HUB to RUN.
(Note: Door cannot be closed while MESSENGER HUB is in the LEARN mode.)
Step 5:
Turn lamp on first, then plug into the receptacle on the underside of the MESSENGER HUB. Use only
incandescent bulbs up to 500W. Be sure the lamp has been turned on prior to plugging into MESSENGER
HUB.
Press the Local Lamp "ON/OFF" button on the MESSENGER HUB to check that the MESSENGER HUB is
operating correctly. You will hear a "click" when the MESSENGER HUB turns this lamp on and off.
You are now ready to operate the lamp connected to this MESSENGER HUB with the INDOOR REMOTE.
