How does Marmitek X-10
work?
Marmitek X-10 components use the existing
mains wiring to communicate (using Marmitek
X-10 signals). You can build a complete system
using the three different kind of components
of the Marmitek X-10 System:
1. Modules:
2. Controllers:
3. Transmitters: Wireless components like
Addresses
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.
TM13 TRANCEIVER MODULE
These components will
receive Marmitek X-10
signals and will switch or
dim the attached lamp or
appliance.
These components will
transmit Marmitek X-10
signals and thus will control
the Modules.
remotes. The signals of these
components will be
received by a controller with
transceiver functionality
(IRRF 7243, TM13 or
console of a Marmitek
Security System).
The Transceiver will translate
the signals into Marmitek X-
10 signals on the power line.
