commands enables the unit to remotely set the blind to any desired position using a suitable
controller and fully automate the blinds in the house, apartment or office. Extended code
messages can be sent to the SW12 using a CM15PRO Computer Interface for example.

6. 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.
Can I set the SW12 using the Active Home Pro software?
Yes, you can, select SW12 at Appliances. You can partly open and close the SW12 using
percentages. The percentages will however not fully correspond with the real situation. (It
has only 25 positions, so it will always change with a multiple of 4 %)
Do I need to do anything extra if I want to replace my current switch by a SW12?
Yes, the SW12 can be used in place of any normal switch, but you have to replace your
normal switch with a momentary switch with two normally open contacts
