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
couple them with the use of a CAT 3000 active 3 phase
coupler/repeater (Art.No. 09304) and it is required if wall
outlets and lighting points are actually divided into several
phases (several groups is no problem for the Marmitek X-10
signal).
2. It is possible that Marmitek X-10 signals are attenuated by
devices and lights which are connected to the power line. In a
normal home situation this effect is negligible (the Marmitek X-
10 system is using active gain control to eliminate the effects).
However, it is possible that a particular device in your house is
attenuating the signals so much that the range of Marmitek X-
10 signals is decreased significantly. When you have range
problems, it is wise to try to locate the device which is
attenuating the signals simply by unplugging devices from the
power line, and testing the differences in range for your
Marmitek system. When e.g. your conclusion is that e.g. your
