Marmitek CM15PRO Computer Hardware User Manual


 
Is there a Software Developers Kit (SDK) for Marmitek ActiveHomePro?
Yes there is. Use it to develop your own applications that work with Marmitek
ActiveHomePro. Go to www.activehomepro.eu for more information on the Marmitek
ActiveHomePro SDK.
Does Marmitek ActiveHomePro need a separate transceiver (TM13 or
IRRF7243)?
No. The CM15Pro has a built-in transceiver that constantly monitors all 256 X-10
addresses.
How many lights and appliances can I control using X-10?
X-10 can control up to 256 unique addresses (combination of 16 house codes and 16
units codes). However, each address can have an unlimited number of modules. This
means you could set three lamps, with lamp modules, in the living room to use the same
X-10 address and they will a respond to Marmitek ActiveHomePro at the same time. This
is particularly useful for holiday decorative lighting allowing you to control many differ-
ent electrical decorations using a single X-10 command.
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 neighbors using the
same House Code. To solve this problem try to change the House Code (A…P) 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 HouseCode on all Modules and Controllers are set to the same
HouseCode (A .. P).
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. Both the TM13 and CM15Pro use so called collision detection
to prevent signals to be disturbed when more than one transceiver is transmitting. 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.
