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:
