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. Examples of these modules are lamp modules and appliance modules.

These are available as build-in, micro, DIN rail and plug-in modules.

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 CM15Pro).

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 several phases are used in the house, it can be necessary to couple these phases for Marmitek X-10 signals. You can couple them with the use of a CAT 3000 active 3 phase coupler/repeater (Art.No. 09304) and it is required

if wall outlets and lighting points are actually divided into several phases

(several groups is no problem for the Marmitek X-10 signal).

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)

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

TWM4™ 5

6 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. To couple the phases use a CAT 3000, see point 1 above.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing the Marmitek Micro module transmitter for installation behind (rocker) switches or Momentary switches. Suitable for controlling various Marmitek modules (actuators) through X-10 commands.

The TWM4 can also be used behind a (rocker) switch or Momentary switch to start programming macros in, for example, a Marmitek CM15Pro Computer

Interface.

Note: Marmitek build-in modules should always be installed in a back box. Due to heat generation, apply no more than one module per back box!

Note: Inputs are only suitable for potential-free switches or contacts

PROGRAMMING

Introduction

Switch on the power supply before you start programming.

Avoid touching live parts!

The introduction to this chapter describes the basic programming actions.

Programming per function

When programming per function, one function/operation is determined for the module and one address is determined, after which the other inputs are automatically given the same function (or a variant of this function) and consecutive addresses.

Basic programming actions

Module programming consists of six steps that must always be performed in the specified order. To program the interface module proceed as follows:

1. Set the module in to Programming mode.

2. Program the address twice.

3. Program a function code twice.

4. Program any options twice.

5. Exit the Programming mode.

6. Test the operation of all the inputs.

Please note: If, immediately after putting the module in Programming mode, an address is sent twice, the module will return to the default value for function and options (On/Off switch commands)!

1. Switch the module to Programming mode

In order to program the interface module, it must be set in to the

Programming mode as follows:

2. Programming the address

Send the set-up command (letter and figure code) that belongs to the desired address twice via the power line using a programming unit (PRU256) or another X-10-compatible transmitter (e.g. a Marmitek remote control). The

LED will flash twice after two identical set-up commands (addresses) have been received.

3. Programming a function code

Determine the function of the module by sending the set-up command belonging to the function twice via the power line (see following table).

The LED responds with a number of flashes according to the selected function once two identical set-up commands have been received.

4. Programming options

The TWM4 has the option of converting the internal status (from ON to OFF or from OFF to ON) upon receiving a group command: All Lights On, All Lights

Off, All Units Off.

This option is only applicable with the following functions:

A. Sending On/Off switch commands with switch or with 1-pole, normally open contact, Momentary switch.

B. Sending dimming commands with 1-pole, normally open contact,

Momentary switch.

The application of this option depends on how the TWM4 is used. If the TWM4 controls a switch actuator that responds to a group command, the options of the TWM4 will also have to respond to the same group commands. As a result, the status of the interface (TWM4) will always be synch with the switch actuator.

12 © MARMITEK

Example

A switch actuator is controlled using a TWM4, operated with a (rocker) switch.

The switch actuator responds to the group commands All Lights On and All

Units Off. If the interface module sends an ON command, the switch actuator will switch on. When the switch of the TWM4 is pressed afterwards, the module would normally give an OFF command. However, if the actuator is switched off by an All Units Off group command, the TWM4 must change its internal status accordingly, so that an ON command is sent when the button is next pressed.

If you wish to set one or more options, the following actions should be taken:

PRU256 programming unit or another X-10-compatible transmitter (such as a remote control). number of flashes.

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.

How do I program the TWM4 with my EasyControl8 for instance at address E3 to send dim commands with a 1-pole, normally open contact, momentary switch?

Setup your remote control (see manual 8-in-1) and the TM13 transceiver to house code E.

Start with the MicroModule in setup mode.

• Press the Marmitek X10 button (marked with the symbol of a house) of the

8-in-1 remote control and then press button 3.

• Press the “ON” button 2x (= channel+).

• The MicroModule responds by blinking the LED twice.

• The address E3 is programmed.

TWM4™ 19

• Press the “brt” button 2x (=VOL+).

• The MicroModule responds by blinking the LED 5x.

• Cancel the MicroModule programming mode.

Address B3, B4, B5 and B6 are now programmed to be used with four 1-pole, normally open contact, momentary switches.

Tip: do not press the keys too fast, so the transmitter gets enough time to send the signals to the mains.
