SM10 Universal Sender Module - Ref. 08943
Features
  • Transforms a make/break contact into an X-10 signal
  • Switches the lights on when the alarm goes off
Use & Applications

Sender for controlling appliances and lights, that are plugged into the Marmitek X10 modules, through the existing house wiring.
Automatically switches all lights (on or flashing) in case of alarm, without running any extra wires. Switch appliances and lights from every location in your home without extra cables.
Virtually anything which gives, or can be made to give, can be used to "trigger" the SM10: contact closure (relays, switch of alarm keypad), but also any voltage between 6 and 18 (e.g. doorbell transformer or amplified audio signal).

The interface can be set to three modes.
  • In Mode 1 it sends ALL LIGHTS ON to the same House Code and a regular ON (to operate appliances) to the same Unit Code that the interface is set to. When contacts are opened it sends an OFF to the same Unit Code but leaves the rest of the lights on.
  • In Mode 2 it sends a flashing ALL LIGHTS ON/ALL OFF signal and leaves the lights ON after the contacts are opened.
  • In Mode 3, which is the mode that will be most used for non-security type applications, the interface sends an ON only to the same House and Unit Code. When the contacts are opened it sends an OFF to the same House and Unit Code.
Some applications :
  • Flash all the lights in your home when your existing burglar alarm is tripped.
  • … Blast your stereo when your alarm trips.
  • … Connect the Burglar Alarm Interface directly to a magnetic switch to turn on lights when a door or window opens, i.e. you don't have to own a burglar alarm system.

  • … From a motion detector to turn on lights when someone enters a room.
  • … From a microphone to turn on lights or appliances when a sound from an intruder is detected.
