FREQENTLY 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.
What is the maximum load on connections on the UM7206 module?
• Without additional protective housing: maximum 24 VDC/5A.
• With a protective housing which removes all risks of electric shocks: maximum load 230
VAC/500mA.
