X-10
No control from screen
We take for granted that all local tests described in the installation process have been achieved i.e.:
1. all modules can be controlled successfully from a X-10- compatible remote control plugged in
the very same outlet as the TW-523.
2. check that the TW-523 is plugged, that its LED is ON and that the telephone type cable (4
wires) is plugged into the TW523 and in the central controller.
When you try to modify a lamp status from the screen and the TW-523 does not flash, just plug
another TW-523 in the adjacent outlet and try again. Leave the cable coming from CARDIO in the first
TW523.
With a X-10-compatible remote control plugged in the same outlet as the TW 523
and with the same
House Code, change the status of a light. Check on screen if the dim has been modified accordingly:
if it did change, the CARDIO X-10 interface works properly. Then:
1. check that all modules are installed properly;
2. try with another cable from CARDIO to the TW-523 module;
3. try another TW-523 module.
Make the good choice of module
Most of the time, bad functioning is a matter of choosing a module not compatible with the load to be
controlled. Read carefully all specifications on lamps and modules.
Modules for incandescent light only
1. never connect a fluorescent neon fixture or any electronic transformer for halogen lighting.;
2. maximum load on a same module should not be higher than 66% of specified maximum load in
module specifications.;
3. minimum load on a same module should not be lower than specified information in specifications
(usually 60W but check with modules manufacturer).
4. be careful with number of lights connected to the same module. ‘Ganging” increases the inrush
current and can use-up the module quickly.
