FREQENTLY 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 Trans-
ceivers?
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.
