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: These components will receive Marmitek X-10 signals and will switch or dim the attached lamp or appliance.
2. Controllers: These components will transmit Marmitek X-10 signals and thus will control the Modules.
3. Transmitters: Wireless components like remotes. The signals of these components will be received by a controller with transceiver functionality (IRRF 7243, TM13 or console of a Marmitek Security System). 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.

If you have difficulties with the range of your Marmitek 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 Marmitek 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 Marmitek 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 Marmitek 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 Marmitek 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 Marmitek system. When e.g. your conclusion is that e.g. your computer monitor is attenuating the signal, you can use 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)

1. Some (old) devices are able to disturb the signal by transmitting noise on the power line. Because the Marmitek X-10 signals are transmitted on 120kHz , 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.

1. The Marmitek X-10 protocol has several mechanisms 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.
2. 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).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE KR22E REMOTE CONTROL

Congratulations on your purchase of a Marmitek X-10 KR22E key-ring remote control! The KR22E is ideal for easy remote control of lighting and other equipment in and around your home. The KR22E's small size makes it the ultimate portable controller. You can take it with you wherever you go, for example, fitted to your key-ring. By pressing the keys, you can switch up to 4 addresses on and off. With the dimmer keys, you can adjust lighting or control sunshades (when used in combination with the SW10). The KR22E is designed to work in combination with a RF Transceiver, such as the TM13, IRRF7243 or a Marmitek X-10 alarm system. When used in combination with the CM11 computer interface, the KR22E can steer up to 8 macros.

INSTALLATION

In the default state the KR22E is set to House Code A. The upper buttons will control Unit Code 1, the next buttons will control Unit Code 2, 3 and 4. The lower buttons are for Bright and Dim.

To change the House Code

1. Press and hold the first (top) ON button. The red LED blinks once. 3 seconds later, the LED blinks the current setting: 1 blink for House Code A, 2 blinks for B ... 16 blinks for P.
2. Release the first (top) ON button.
3. Press and release the first (top) ON button the appropriate number of times for the House Code you want to set. Once for A, twice for B, etc. The LED blinks for each press. IMPORTANT: Hold the button on your last press. 3 seconds later, the LED blinks

back the new setting, e.g. 3 blinks for House Code C. If you do not follow this programming sequence, the LED will stay on for 1 second and your existing setting will not be changed.

To change the Unit Code

To program a new Unit Code, you will need to program the Unit Code on the top right key marked OFF. The other buttons will then automatically numbered 1 # higher than the key direct above (e.g. when the first key is set to Unit Code 6, the 2nd will be Unit Code 7).

1. Press and hold the top OFF button. The red LED blinks once. 3 seconds later, the LED blinks the current setting: 1 blink for Unit Code 1, 2 blinks for 2, 16 blinks for 16.
2. Release the top OFF button.
3. Press and release the top OFF key the appropriate number of times for the Unit Code you want. IMPORTANT: Hold the key on your last press: 3 seconds later the new code blinks back. If you do not follow this programming sequence, the LED will stay on for 1 second and your existing setting will not be changed.

To change the batteries

Remove the back lid of the remote. Exchange the batteries (3V lithium) of the same type (KR22E: 2 x type CR2016). Observe the polarity.

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 Security Console installed in your house. These components will translate the radio signals to the Marmitek X-10 signal on the power line. Only one Transceiver should be installed for all remotes and sensors set to the same House Code.

Am I able to increase the range of my remotes by using more Transceivers?

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.
