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 X-10 Security Console installed in your house. These components will
translate the radio signals to the Marmitek X-10 signal on the power line. Using
several remotes and sensors, you only need one central transceiver.
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.
a Particular Module won't go on or off from the buttons on the Mini Timer:
Check that you have power to the outlet controlling the Module and the switch on
the light or appliance is ON.
Check that the Unit Code and Housecode on the Module are set correctly. Try
plugging the Module and the Mini Timer into the same outlet. If the Module doesn't
work in ANY outlet, not even with the Module and the Mini Timer in the same duplex
receptacle (top and bottom) the Module may be defective.
You can't control ANY Modules from the Mini Timer.
Check that there is a time displayed on the Mini Timer and that you have power to
the outlet it is plugged into.
Check that the Housecode for the Mini Timer is set correctly (see Changing the
Housecode). Try plugging the Module and the Mini Timer into the same outlet. If
NONE of your Modules work in ANY outlet, not even with the Module and the Mini
