SAFETY WARNINGS • The wiring of your electrical installation is live (230 V) and extremely dangerous. Never connect the module when plugged into the mains. Always turn off the main switch before starting the installation. • This product is for professional use and should be installed by a certified installer. • To prevent short circuits, this product should only be used inside and only in dry spaces. Do not expose the components to rain or moisture. Do not use the product close to a bath, swimming pool etc.
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.
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).
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.
CONNECTION APPLICATIONS Suitable for the connection of: • Four 1-pole (rocker) switches. • Four 1-pole, normally open contact, Momentary switches. • Two Momentary switches with two normally open contacts (optionally with zero position, multi-switch). • One Momentary switch with four normally open contacts (optionally with zero position, multi-switch). • Four random potential-free contacts with a common contact (P contact).
Installation/assembly behind switches & Momentary switches Always switch off the power before commencing installation! Blue (N) Brown (L) P Figure 1. • When present take the switch from the back box. • Disconnect the wiring from the switch. • Put in a neutral wire (N) if it is missing.

" Please see the chapter on programming. • After programming, place the switch back in the back box and click the push button with the cover frame back on the switch.
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.
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: • Press the programming button for at least three seconds (see Figure 5). The red LED will light up and stay on after releasing the button. P PROG. TWM4 N L PROG. Figure 5. Activating and deactivating the Programming mode. 2.
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. Function (sending) Setup command No. of LED flashes 3.1 On/Off switch commands (switch or pushbutton switch) ON 3x 3.
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.
6. Test the operation of all the inputs Programming per function This chapter explains the actions that need to be performed to program the module on the basis of function. See 3.

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).
• 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. Do you still have questions? Please check out www.marmitek.com for more information.
