Instructions For Use; Introduction - Marmitek SM10 X-10 Modo De Empleo

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)
3. 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.
4. The Marmitek X-10 protocol has several mechanism 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.
5. 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 18 V (e.g. doorbell transformer
or amplified audio signal).
