FIRST USE OF THE TM13

1. Set the HouseCode (A to P) of the Home Control TM13 Transceiver to the same code
as you have set your other modules. The UnitCode cannot be set and will always be
'1'. If the TM13 is set to HouseCode 'P', all commands from remote controls will be
converted into an X-10 signal over the mains, regardless of the HouseCode. The
HouseCode used will in this case be the same as the HouseCode of the remote con-
trol.
2. Point the antenna upwards.
3. Plug the Home Control TM13 into a socket (preferably in a central location of your
house).
4. Insert the plug of an appliance or light in the module. This can now be controlled
using the '1' button of your remote.
Normally speaking, only one TM13 will be required per installation if wireless controllers
are used that are set to the same HouseCode (Does not apply to TM13EFL). The TM13
includes a so-called 'collision detection' system. This prevents problems from occurring
when several TM13 modules are used and it allows expansion of the RF range by using
several TM13 modules that are set to one and the same HouseCode.
The module responds to the following Marmitek X-10 commands: 'ON', 'OFF' and the
Marmitek X-10 group command 'All Units Off'.

FREQENTLY 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 sys-
tem, 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).
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 sig-
nals 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.
