X10

All prices include VAT and are per device.

X10 is a superb way of controlling electrical devices around your property from your security system - with NO EXTRA WIRING OR FUSS.

An X10 control device is linked to the security system that transmits commands to the various X10 module to switch on or off. The signals are transmitted down your existing electrical wiring so no need for direct connection to the security system. And if you are using plug-in modules, you can immediately relocate points simply by unplugging the device from one area and plugging it back in in another.

One of the things I like most about X10 is that the control modules have no effect on the daily operation of the device they are linked to. For example if we wire a light module into your existing external security lights, you will still be able to operate the lights manually no matter what the security system does (i.e. the security system turns the lights on, but you can still switch them off as normal via your light switch).

Connecting lighting and other items to the security system can provide you with numerous advantages. For example if you use the security system to control lighting, the system can operate the points at scheduled times to give the impression a property is occupied or to save power. And if a intrusion attempt occurs the alarm can activate points to scare off crooks. Different points might then activate in response to other conditions, such as your hall way lights coming on following a fire activation to illuminate escape routes.

Many of the X10 devices require little or no fitting work, they simply plug in. However some items require installation - please phone for costs.

DSC X10 Controller (Requires Escort Module to be installed to operate)

The controller connects the security system to the electrical wiring of the property for the purpose of transmitting on/off commands to the modules in the property.

The plug in modules are simplicity itself! All you do is plug the module into your electrical outlet, then plug the item to be controlled into the module (a bit like a timer switch).

Please note, if you want the security system to control the item, the item must be left in the on position so that the X10 can control it by switching power on or off.

Wire in lamp modules are generally used to control lights that a plug in module cannot be connected to. For example they are used to control external lighting or above ceilings to operate room lights. Depending on the location, some form of protective box might be required to protect the controller / cable connections (e.g. external installations).

Wire in appliance modules are used to control lights or appliances that have a larger load to that of a standard lamp module. Again these are used in areas that a plug in module cannot be connected to. Depending on the location it is to be installed, some form of protective box might be required to protect the controller / cable connections (e.g. external installations).

DIN Rail modules are designed to be installed in your main fuse breaker box allowing us to control entire circuits.

Simply replace a standard single gang light switch for this X10 module. You can operate all the lights/appliances connected by the switch as normal - but so can the security system!

Same as above but with an added dimmer for mood lighting (does not work with electronic or energy bulbs).

Plus Fitting

Simply screw in this controller to your light fitting, then connect the bulb to it. That light can now be controlled by the security system (light must be in the on position for the security system control to work).

Same as above but for bayonet type light bulbs.

The back box module is inserted into the back of a standard single gang box before the switch, spur or socket front is put on (might require the box to be recessed further). Once fitted the point can be controlled manually or via the security system.

This module is designed to switch low voltage items - such as electric garage doors or gates.

The signal transmission of high frequency pulses via the mains network can be affected by active or passive interferences. When used, the filter/phase coupler will extensively suppress these interferences.

Typical active interference sources are appliances that do not dispose of a regular interference suppression according to the norms, as well as wireless intercom systems which use mains borne signalling, as they transmit high frequency signal as interference into the mains network. These disturbances are usually carried into the property network from the outside, e.g. From neighbours or industrial installations. They are suppressed by the filter/coupler. Remaining interferences generated within the house network are without significance as the special dynamic filtering techniques of the X10 system ensure undisturbed performance.

The unit also includes the ability to couple X10 signals across 3 phases.
