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.

2. 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.

3. 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

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing the SM10! This is a universal X-10 sender for controlling appliances and lights, that are plugged into the Marmitek X-10 modules, through the existing house wiring. Automatically switches all lights (on or flashing) in case of alarm, without running any extra wires. Switch appliances and lights from every location in your home without extra cables. You can use almost every signal as a "trigger" for the SM10: contact closure (relays, switch of alarm keypad), but also any voltage between 6 and 18V (e.g. doorbell transformer or amplified audio signal).

APPLICATIONS

The SM10 can be used, for instance, to connect your present (non X-10 compatible) alarm system to Marmitek X-10 modules:

• A magnetic switch can be connected to the SM10, which can be used to turn lights on and off when opening or closing doors and windows.
• The SM10 can be connected to the switch contacts of a light sensor or motion sensor or an (amplified) microphone or humidity sensor in order to activate X-10 modules.
• The door switch of your garage door can be connected to the SM10 to automatically switch on the lights when the door opens, etc....

INSTALLATION

After a signal has been given at the input, the Marmitek SM10 will send commands via the mains to the Marmitek X-10 modules. This will switch lights and equipment on and off. This takes place according to Marmitek X-10 protocol. Because the existing mains system is used, no additional wiring will be necessary. Individual groups can be controlled by using rotary switches (so-called HouseCode and UnitCode).

1. Use a small screwdriver to select the HouseCode (A-P) at the system address and the UnitCode (1-16) at the module number to select the modules you would like to use in combination with the Mode switch.
2. Connect the switch or sensor to the screw terminals (18 V max.).
3. Plug the SM10 in a wall outlet.
4. Set the selector switches to the desired positions:

Selector switch Input A - B:

A. The SM10 will be triggered by a voltage (6 - 18 VAC or DC) or an amplified audio signal (such as a microphone).
B. The SM10 will be triggered by a contact closure of a switch or a relay (such as the alarm panel).

Selector switch Mode 1 - 2 - 3:

1. The SM10 will turn ON all Lamp Modules set to its House Code and will also turn ON any other Modules set to its Unit Code (ALL LIGHTS ON). All Lamp Modules are left in the ON state when the trigger is de-activated but the module set to the same Unit Code will turn OFF.
2. The SM10 will FLASH all lights connected to Lamp Modules (ALL LIGHTS ON / ALL UNITS OFF). All Lamp Modules will be left in the ON state when the trigger is de-activated but Appliance Modules set to the same House Code as the SM10 will turn OFF (ALL LIGHTS ON).
3. If a trigger signal is presented to the terminal of the SM10; an "ON" command is send to the pre-set address. When the trigger signal is switched off again; an "OFF" command will be sent.

You can test the SM10 using the test button to activate the module(s) and the All Units Off button to switch off the module(s).

FREQUENTLY 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 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.

If I press the 'All Off' button, all my modules are switched off, but then they are switched on again.

The appliance connected to the SM10 keeps the contact closed or constantly gives off power.

My device modules do not respond to the SM10.

• You are using a setting that sends the command 'All Lights On'. Only lamp modules can respond to this command. Choose another setting for your SM10 (see the SM10 product sheet for more information).
• Is the SM10 connected to the same phase as the other modules?

Can the PH7208 Extra X-10 indoor siren also be controlled using the SM10?

Yes, it can. Set the mode switch to position 2 and make sure that both units have been set to the same HouseCode.
