Frequently Asked Questions - MS13 MARMITEK

How to program the house code on the MS13 detector?

To program the house code, press and hold the Set button. The red LED flashes. After 3 seconds, the LED flashes the number of times corresponding to the current code (1 flash for A, 2 for B, etc.). Release the button, then press the Set button the number of times corresponding to the desired code (e.g., 3 times for C) while holding the last press. Wait 3 seconds: the LED flashes to confirm.

How to program the unit code?

Press and hold the Set button. The red LED flashes. After 3 seconds, it flashes the number of times corresponding to the current unit code (1 for 1, 2 for 2, etc.). Release, then press Set the number of times corresponding to the desired unit code (e.g., 3 times for 3) while holding the last press. Confirmation by flashing.

How to set the detector for day or night use?

Press the Set button once: the red LED flashes rapidly. Then press and hold the Set button: the green LED turns on. After 3 seconds, the red LED flashes the number of times corresponding to the current mode (1=day/night without light detection, 2=night only without light detection, 3=day/night with light detection, 4=night only with light detection). Release, then press Set the number of times for the desired mode while holding the last press.

How to set the delay time?

Press the Set button once: the red LED flashes rapidly. Press and hold Set: green LED on. After 3 seconds, the red LED flashes the number of times corresponding to the current duration (1=1 min, 2=2 min, 3=4 min, 4=8 min, 5=16 min, 6=32 min, 7=62 min, 8=128 min, 9=255 min). Release, then press Set the number of times for the desired duration while holding the last press.

Why do some modules turn on or off spontaneously?

This may be due to a neighboring Marmitek X-10 system using the same House Code. To resolve, change the house code or install an FD10 filter on the mains input to block external signals.

My modules do not work with my controllers, what to do?

Check that the modules and controllers have the same House Code (A to P). If they are different, reprogram one of them to match.

Why do my modules not work with my remote controls or detectors?

You must have at least one transceiver (TM13 or Marmitek alarm console) installed in your home to convert radio signals to powerline signals on the mains. Make sure the transceiver and modules share the same house code.

Can I increase the range of remote controls by using multiple transceivers?

Yes, you can install multiple TM13. They use collision detection to avoid interference. For best performance, place TM13s as far apart as possible to avoid system slowdowns.

What is the range of the MS13 detector?

The radio range is approximately 30 meters in open terrain and up to 20 meters through walls and ceilings. The infrared detection range (PIR) is 45° over 5 meters and 12 meters straight ahead.

How to install the MS13 detector?

Insert the antenna socket into the holder on the sensor. Place 2 AAA batteries in the compartment (open the protective cap with pliers). For outdoor use, close the cap. After inserting the batteries, the detector is disabled for 30 seconds.

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 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.

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. The FD10's will not only filter but will also couple the phases (please see 1).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE - MS13E WIRELESS MOTION SENSOR

Congratulations on purchasing the MS13! This Marmitek X10 wireless motion sensor can be used to:

• switch on lights and appliances while you are present and later turn them off again.
• switch on inside and outside lights when you arrive home in the dark.
• save energy by automatically switching off lights and appliances when rooms are vacated.
• switch on lights without a switch.
• activate lighting scenarios when Marmitek Active Home software is used.
• protect your house by giving timely notification of unexpected visitors.
• realize automatic route lighting, to the toilet for instance.

The MS13 is fully wireless, the signal is transmitted straight through walls and ceilings and it is suitable for outdoor use.

OPERATION

The MS13 motion detector sends radio signals to an X10 transceiver (Marmitek X10 TM13 or Marmitek X10 Alarm station). The transceiver or station then transmits these signals wirelessly via the electric cabling that is already in your house to switch lights (or appliances) that are connected to X10 receivers on and off. The Marmitek X10 TM13 and a Marmitek X10 CM11 computer interface can also be used to activate previously programmed macros. The MS13 can also be programmed to detect motion both at night and during the day, or only at night. The Marmitek X10 MS13 can also be used to detect the transition from light to dark and vice versa.

INSTALLATION

Slide the antenna sleeve over the sensor's wire antenna. Press the sleeve into the clamp on the top of the sensor. Insert 2 AAA batteries into the MS13's battery compartment. The cap on the front of the sensor must be removed using tweezers or small pliers in order to open the battery compartment. Now the screw that is locking the lid can be unscrewed. Replace the cap if the sensor is to be used outdoors.

• After inserting the batteries it will take 30 seconds for the MS13 to become active.
  • After a signal has been transmitted the MS13 will be inactive for 10 seconds.
• The default setting for the house-code that is transmitted is A (factory setting).
• The default setting for the unit-code that is transmitted for motion detection is 1 (factory setting).
• The unit-code that is transmitted for light / dark detection is always the unit-code that has been set + 1 (example: If you have the motion detection code set to A3 the code for light/dark is automatically A4). The default setting for this function is off (factory setting).
• When motion is detected an command is transmitted.
• When the button is pressed once an command is transmitted.
• When the button is pressed once an command is transmitted.
• On transition from light to dark an command is transmitted for the unit-code that has been set +1.
• On transition from dark to light an command is transmitted for the unit-code that has been set +1.
• When motion is detected an command is transmitted for the unit code that has been set.
• After the last motion detection plus the set delay (factory setting 1 minute) an command is transmitted for the unit code that has been set.

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 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.
