a FM10 Plug-in Filter between the power line and the monitor
to eliminate the effects.
Known devices which can cause attenuation are:
PC Monitors
PCs with heavy internal power supplies
Old Televisions
Copiers
Fluorescent Lights
Gas Discharge Lamps (Energy Saving Lamps)
3. Some (old) devices are able to disturb the signal by
transmitting noise on the power line. Because the
Haibrain
X-10 signals are transmitted on 120 kHz, only noise on or
near
this frequency will have influence on the range. When
you use
a FM10 Filter to connect this device to the power line,
the
noise will be filtered.
4. The
Haibrain
X-10 protocol has several mechanism to avoid
modules to be switched on or off by other sources than your
Haibrain
X-10 Controllers. However, it is possible that the
Haibrain
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
Haibrain
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
Haibrain
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
