X10 PROFESSIONAL RANGE
The majority of X10 home automation products are designed to be
easy to install "plug and play" types that anyone can set-up and use.
There are however a few devices classed as "professional" because
they require installation by someone competent with domestic house
wiring. Given that they need a bit more difficult to fit, they do offer
an extra degree of flexibility. Classed as "DIN rail" products (because
they fit directly onto the DIN rail within most modern consumer units),
they can also be fitted into their own special housing adjacent to your
consumer unit.
AD10 DIN RAIL SWITCH
Basically a remote controlled relay, this can be directly
controlled either by switches (momentary or latching)
or by any other X10 controller. This makes it useful
for say hallway lighting applications, and also with its
16A load capability its great for items like immersion
heaters. Very useful.
[AD10] £34.99
LD10 (LD11) DIN RAIL DIMMER
These are designed to fit into a std DIN rail consumer
unit or similar enclosure and give you all the benefits
of X10 direct from the fusebox. The LD10 supports
on/off and dim/brighten. Additionally they support a
'soft start'. In effect when you operate your light
switch your lights will start from zero and gradually
brighten until they reach the last remembered level.
Then If you press and hold the light switch they will
gradually cycle through to maximum brightness and then back to dim.
Whenever you release the switch this sets the remembered level of
brightness for the next 'on' command. Very ease to install and use,
they can be controlled by any X10 controller and also by a momentary
action (non-latching) switch. Max load 60–700W.
[LD10] £34.99
DIN rail module enclosures
Ideal for housing the X10 DIN rail Appliance and Dimmer
modules; these are ideal if you’re tight for space within
your existing consumer unit, or you wish to site them
elsewhere.
INTERNAL ENCLOSURE for 3 standard size DIN modules,
or 1 LD10 or AD10. Enclosure features a hinged clear lid.
DIN rail length 100mm, overall dimensions 157 x 70 x
64mm.
[DRE3] £6.99
INTERNAL/EXTERNAL ENCLOSURE for up to 3 standard
size DIN modules, or 1 LD10 or AD10. Features hinged
clear lid with weatherproof seal. DIN rail length 100mm,
overall dimensions 131 x 73 x 91mm.
[DRE3E] £16.99
USING X10 WITH LOW VOLTAGE & ENERGY SAVING LIGHTING
There are a few important points to remember here
Low voltage lighting
12V halogen lighting systems usually use one of two different type of
transformer; a lightweight electronic (switch-mode) unit, or a heavier
conventional transformer. The heavy transformer type can be safely
operated and dimmed with an X10 module (LD10 or LM12U). The smaller
switch-mode type cannot be dimmed by X10 and it may result in damage
if you try. The only solution (if you require X10 dimming) is to change the
transformer for a conventional type. If you only require on/off control
without the dimming option then an AD10, AW10 or AM12U will be fine.
X10 Product quick compatibility checklist
[LD10] DIN RAIL DIMMER: OK for conventional incandescent lights (60-
700W, and mains voltage halogen lights. Can also be used with low
voltage halogen provided the transformer is NOT switch-mode type.
Requires momentary action switch.
[AD10] DIN RAIL SWITCHER: OK for on/off control of almost any type
of light or appliance up to 3kW.
[AW10U] WALL APPLIANCE SWITCH: OK for on/off control of almost
any type of light or appliance up to 2kW. (requires neutral connection)
[LW10U] WALL LIGHT SWITCH: Replaces conventional light switch for
on/off and dim/brighten control. Cannot be used with energy saver type
lamps or low voltage halogen systems. Does not require a neutral
connection so will replace existing light switches easily. Minimum (yes
minimum!) rating 60W, max 300W
[LM12U] PLUG IN LAMP MODULE: On/off and dim/brighten control of
conventional lamps only (max 300W) - not for use with energy saver or
low voltage lighting.
[AM12U] PLUG IN APPLIANCE MODULE: OK for on/off control of
almost any type of light or appliance up to 13A.
[LM15] BAYONET FIT X10 MODULE: For use with conventional (100W
max) filament bulbs only, not for use with energy saver or fluorescent
bulbs. Provides on/off only (not dimmable).
What on earth is an "inductive" or "resistive" load?
A resistive load is, as you'd expect, purely resistive and has nothing else
that affects its power requirements. For example appliances with resistive
loads include; toasters, electric fires, electric ovens, kettles, conventional
filament type lamps, etc.
In electrical terms an "inductor" is a number of turns of wire wrapped
around a core and "inductance" is the ability of this coil to store energy. It
follows that an inductive load is something which contains coils, usually
in the form of motors, solenoids or relays. Inductive loads usually require
more power when they first start up than they do to continue running. For
example, appliances with inductive loads include; power tools, washing
machines, spin dryers, high powered amplifiers, arc welders,
fridge/freezers and anything else likely to have lots of coils in it....
DIN rail filter
Can be used as a coupler, to allow X10 signals to be
passed between phases in a multi-phase
installation, and can also be used as a filter. In filter
mode it can be used to prevent X10 signals from
entering or leaving the building (in the case of
interference from a neighbour), or to filter a
specific load from the consumer unit. Suitable for
heavy duty loads up to 63A.
[FD10] £34.99
Universal relay module
Another interesting gadget, this unit
contains an X10 controlled beeper and a
pair of normally open isolated contacts.
It can be set to operate as a beeper only,
a contact relay only, or both. The
isolated contacts can be set for
momentary or sustained closure and can
switch up to 5A at 24v DC (30v AC at
5A). When set for momentary operation
the contacts, close and then open again
after about two seconds. In this mode, OFF commands are ignored. In
continuous mode it closes the contacts on receipt of an ON signal and
opens them again when it receives an OFF (or ALL OFF) signal. Think
of it as an X10 controlled heavy duty switch, ideal for use in electronic
projects eg door/window openers, watering systems, thermostats, etc.
[UM7206] £34.99
X10 addressable power supply
Plugs into a standard (UK) 240V 13A mains outlet,
provides an X10 on/off switchable DC power
supply (12V 100mA) via a 2m cable. The device is
intelligent in that it automatically switches off
whenever it detects an "on" command for any
other address on the same X10 circuit
[XM11U] £19.99
Also available as part of the XCAM2 wireless
video camera surveillance kits
X10 Siren
A very loud (105db) siren. Simply plug in and set to
the appropriate X10 address. Great for adding
security functions to items like the MS13E Hawkeye
sensor.
[PH7208] £54.99
X10 receivers (continued)
