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:
switch or dim the attached lamp or appliance. Examples of these modules are lamp
modules and appliance modules. These are available as build-in, micro, DIN rail and
plug-in modules.
2. Controllers:
thus will control the Modules.
3. Transmitters:
components will be received by a controller with transceiver functionality (IRRF 7243,
TM13 or CM15Pro). 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.
