LevitonsAmplifier/Repeater/Coupler Module With Test Signal Generator Assures Sufficient Command Signal Strength Throughout 3-Wire Residential Wiring Systems For Proper DHC Network Operation
Resolve problems with X10 receivers not responding to X10 transmitters.AND make troubleshooting easier with a powerful amplified X10 coupler-repeater for 2-phase (split single phase) electrical systems that even sends and receives test signals! Just like other coupler-repeaters, this unit helps X10 signals cross the two separate 120V legs of power found in most homes. But this revolutionary unit goes a giant step further by offering signal and error LEDs, as well as a test button that generates an ON/OFF signal. These added features allow for easy signal strength verification at individual module locations with a signal strength indicator (sold separately).
This X10 coupler-repeater is similar to a non-amplified signal bridge, but with the added ability to regenerate an X10 signal and blast it out both legs of electricity simultaneously. Provided there is at least 100mV of incoming signal, the unit will boost the outgoing signal to 5-7 volts across, depending on the impedance of the home. An LED will blink when X10 signals are detected and repeated to let you know it's operational. Plus, Leviton's exclusive Intellisense™ (gated automatic gain control) feature helps ensure top performance even when noise is present on the AC line.
The module should be installed at the main panel where electrical service enters the home. You will need two dedicated 15-amp circuit breakers (available at a home improvement center).
