5A Filter Micro Module
NO.4813E
If your X10 system consists of a desktop timer and couple of
modules, chances are you won't encounter signal-strength problems.
¡ñEliminates Electrical Noise From the Powerline
¡ñPrevents X10 Signal Absorption
Eliminates Electrical Noise From the Powerline
One of the most common (and easily correctable) problems that may
adversely affect X10 signals is electrical "noise," or interference.
The more interference there is on the power line, the more difficult
it is for X10 receivers to detect signals from X10 controllers. It's
kind of like trying to have a conversation in a room when the music
is playing too loud. But the FilterLinc blocks that interference,
preventing it from polluting the powerline. Common sources of
interference may include refrigerators, freezers, plug-in
fluorescent fixtures, aquarium filters, fountains, low-voltage
lighting, fans or anything with a motor.
Prevents X10 Signal Absorption
Another common yet easily correctable problem affecting X10
signals is signal attenuation, or absorption. Because some equipment
is built with power supplies that kill noise on the AC line ¨C and
often they mistake X10 signals for noise ¨C these devices may absorb
X10 signals before arriving to the receiving module. But the
FilterLinc eliminates those obstacles by blocking X10 signals from
getting to them in the first place. The most common sources of
signal attenuation include computers and audio/video equipment,
particularly big-screen TVs.
