FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the reason for modules to switch on/off
spontaneously?
It is possible that a Marmitek X-10 System is installed at one of
your neighbours using the same House Code. To solve this
problem try to change the House Code of your system, or have
FD10 Phase Coupler/Filter installed at your incoming mains.
My modules will not respond to my controller.
Make sure that the House Code on all Modules and Controllers
are set to the same House Code (A .. P).
My modules will not react to my remote / sensor.
When you use a remote or sensor, you should have at least one
TM13 Transceiver or Marmitek Security Console installed in your
house. These components will translate the radio signals to the
Marmitek X-10 signal on the power line. Only one Transceiver
should be installed for all remotes and sensors set to the same
House Code.
Am I able to increase the range of my remotes by using
more Transceivers?
Yes, you can use more than one TM13 Transceiver in your home
when the range of your remotes is not sufficient. The TM13 is
using so called collision detection to prevent signals to be
disturbed when more than one TM13 is transmitting. TM13's will
wait for a quite power line before transmitting their data. To
prevent your Marmitek X-10 System to become slow or to
prevent dimming from becoming less smooth, make sure that the
TM13 units are placed as far away from each other as possible.
The module suddenly starts to blink for a short time.
Electronic dimmers, such as the LWM1, make use of cutting in or
cutting off the sine in order to transform voltage. In an unstable
mains system, or as a consequence of short low frequency pulses,
the shape of the sine can be disrupted, resulting in light
variations. This phenomenon does not harm the modules.
