1. Modules
These components will receive Marmitek X-10 signals and will switch
or dim the attached lamp or appliance.
2. Controllers
These components will transmit Marmitek X-10 signals and thus will
control the Modules.
3. Transmitters
Wireless components like remotes. The signals of these components
will be received by a controller with transceiver functionality
(IRRF 7243, TM13 or console of a Marmitek SecuritySystem). The
Transceiver will translate the signals into Marmitek X-10 signals on
the power line.
AdResses
Up to a maximum of 256 different addresses can be preset. These are
subdivided into a so-called HouseCode (A to P incl.) and a UnitCode
(1 to 16 incl.). The HouseCode can also be set on the controllers, so
that the controllers and modules become part of the same system.
The address can be set either using code dials or by pressing buttons,
depending on the type of module.
The Marmitek X-10 System uses standard commands, which control
all units with the same HouseCode at the same time (e.g. all lights
on, all off, etc.).
sigNAl RANge
Range of Marmitek X-10 signals over the Power line and how
to increase the range.
The Marmitek X-10 System is based on power line communication. The
range of the Marmitek X-10 signals very much depends on the local
circumstances. On average the range is a cable length of 80 meters.
if you have difficulties with the range of your Marmitek X-10
signals, please pay attention to the following facts:
1. When several phases are used in the house, it can be necessary
to couple these phases for Marmitek X-10 signals. You can
