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 possi- ble 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 com- patible for these units. The FD10’s will not only filter but will also couple the phases (please see 1).
USER MANUAL
Introduction
The Marmitek ActiveHomePro (AHP) software, in conjunction with the CM15Pro Programmable Computer Interface, lets you control lights and appliances around your home when used with Marmitek X-10 Modules.
The CM15Pro is a controller with Transceiver function: When it receives a command from a wireless remote control (f.e. EasyControl8/EasyTouch35/KR21/SS13), it sends dig- ital signals over your existing house wiring to Modules that receive the signals and exe- cute the command.
You now have the power to control your whole home from your computer! With the Marmitek AHP software and your X-10 Modules you can create schedules for your lights and appliances, set up groups of commands for your daily life, and keep lights and appli- ances off when they’re not in use. You can make AHP save the timer’s schedules and Macro Events in the CM15Pro memory, so that they run even when your computer is turned off! Use Marmitek AHP to make your home more comfortable, and more secure.
This Installation guide shows you how to install your CM15Pro and Marmitek AHP soft- ware. Use this Installation guide as a guide to get you started, but be sure to read the help information after installation.
