INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MARMITEK X-10 IN-WALL DIMMER MODULE LW12™ 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.
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. 2. Controllers: These components will transmit Marmitek X-10 signals and thus will control the Modules. 3. Transmitters: Wireless components like remotes.
Signal Range Range of Marmitek X-10 signals over the Power Line and how to increase the range. The Marmitek X-10 System is based on power line communication. The range of the Marmitek X-10 signals very much depends on the local circumstances. On average the range is a cable length of 80 meters. If you have difficulties with the range of your Marmitek X-10 signals, please pay attention to the following facts: 1.
Known devices which can cause attenuation are: PC Monitors PCs with heavy internal power supplies Old Televisions Copiers Fluorescent Lights Gas Discharge Lamps (Energy Saving Lamps) 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.
INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of the LW12. • The MicroModule can be installed behind conventional wall switches or into wall outlets because of the extreme small size of the MicroModule (Minimum built-in depth 40 mm, advised 50 mm). The MicroModule is also ideal for installation into light fixtures or for use in areas with limited space such as rooms with lowered ceilings. • Universal compatibility: No limitation in choosing brand, colour or type of any wall switches and outlets.

Where present, take the wall switch out of the wall box. Disconnect all wires from the switch. Connect the live (brown) and load wire (black) to the terminals of the LW12 as described in figure A. Replace your normal make/break contact switch by a momentary switch.
Programming the address and the optional functions All Lights On/All Lights Off/All Units Off: Unlike most Marmitek X-10 Modules the LW12 does not have code wheels. When leaving the factory, the LW12 is set to the default address A1 en does not respond to the optional functions All Lights On/All Lights Off/All Units Off. To change the address and the settings for the All Lights On/All Lights Off/All Units Off functions, the module needs to be set to the program mode.
Resetting the LW12 When leaving the factory, the LW12 is set to the default address A1 en does not respond to the optional functions All Lights On/All Lights Off/All Units Off. If the address and settings for the options "All lights on/All lights off /All Units Off" aren’t known, the default address of A1 can be set by applying power to the unit and sending the address P16 to the unit twice (using any X-10 controller - i.e.: TM13 + RF remote control).
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).
If your lamp doesn’t work: • Does the light work if you connect it directly to the mains? • Is the module connected to a surge protector? A surge protector might block signals from your interface or controller. • Is the HouseCode set correctly? Do you still have questions? Please check out www.marmitek.com for more information.
