Marmitek FD10 Mode D'emploi page 5

4. The Marmitek X-10 protocol has several mechanism to avoid modules to be switched on
or off by other sources than your Marmitek X-10 Controllers. However, it is possible that the
Marmitek X-10 signals are disturbed by e.g. baby phones which are in TALK mode (continuous
transmission). When these kind of signals are present on the power line it is possible that the
Marmitek X-10 signals will not come through.
5. The mains do not stop at the front door of your home. Everything that is attached to mains
nearby your home can have influence on Marmitek X-10 signals (e.g. heavy machinery). If you
think that your system is influenced by devices out of your house, it is advisable to install FD10
Phase Coupler/Filter on each phase entering the house. These filters will block signals coming
into or going out of your house, but will also match the impedance for the mains. Hereby make
your house Marmitek X-10 compatible for these units. The FD10's will not only filter but will
also couple the phases (please see 1).

Congratulations on your purchase of the Marmitek X-10 FD10 Phase Coupler/Filter.
The FD10 Phase Coupler/Filter;
• c onnects Marmitek X-10 signals over phases for the use of the Marmitek X-10 system in
a multiple phase installation.
• f ilters Marmitek X-10 signals from the mains to prevent signals from coming into or
going out of the premises.
• amplifies the transfer of signals within the premises through impedance adjustments.
• c an be applied to disconnect interferences from interference sources from the mains
(heavy machinery, etc). Heavy version: 63 A, 230 V.
