SIGNAL RANGE
Range of
Haibrain
X-10 signals over the Power Line and how
to increase the range.
The
Haibrain
X-10 System is based on power line communica-
tion. The range of the
Haibrain
X-10 signals very much de-
pends on the local circumstances. On average the range is a
cable length of 80 meters.
If you have difficulties with the range of your
Haibrain
X-10
signals, please pay attention to the following facts:
1. When more than one phase is used for your electrical system,
it is necessary to couple these phases for the
Haibrain
X-10
signals. For coupling you can use FD10 Phase Couplers/Filters.
You only need to install a Phase Coupler/Filter when your wall
outlets and light switches are divided over more than one
phase (more than one group is no problem). For bigger
buildings or longer distances we advice you to use an active
repeater instead of passive FD10’s.
2. It is possible that
Haibrain
X-10 signals are attenuated by
devices and lights which are connected to the power line. In a
normal home situation this effect is negligible (the
Haibrain
X-10 system is using active gain control to eliminate the
effects). However, it is possible that a particular device in your
house is attenuating the signals so much that the range of
Haibrain
X-10 signals is decreased significantly. When you
have range problems, it is wise to try to locate the device
which is attenuating the signals simply by unplugging devices
from the power line, and testing the differences in range for
your
Haibrain
system. When e.g. your conclusion is that e.g.
your computer monitor is attenuating the signal, you can use
