Marmitek MicroModule AWM2

Marmitek X10 transmitter for 2 addresses with a built-in

appliance module.

Applications

• The MicroModule can be installed behind conventional wall switches or into wall outlets because of the extreme small size of the MicroModule (minimum built-in depth 40 mm, advised 50 mm). The MicroModule is also ideal for installation into light fixtures, home appliances or for use in areas with limited space such as lowered ceilings.

• Universal compatibility: No limitation in choosing brand, color or type of any wall switches and outlets.

• The MicroModule can be used in combination with regular switches or pulse switches. These will be automatically recognized by the AWM2.

• Install two-way switches without adding additional wires in between wall switches (the MicroModules transmit their status to the other MicroModuls through the power line).

• Execute Macro’s and preferred scenarios of a conventional switch (e.g. along with Marmitek ActiveHome).

Functions

• X10 Transmitter for 2 Marmitek X10 addresses and the commands ON and OFF.

• Built-in appliance module (16A).

• Two way Marmitek X10 communication.

• Two wall switches can be connected with one AWM2. One serves the internal appliance module and also gives the X10 command through the power line. The second wall switch is used to transmit a second X10 address using the commands ON/OFF.

• Every Marmitek X10 controller can be used to program the Marmitek X10 address through the power line (e.g. a Marmitek Remote Control or the CM11 Computer interface).

• One free programmable Marmitek X10 address A1 to P16 (base address). The second address programs automatically and will always be the next Marmitek X10 address following on the

MICROMODULE AWM2 3

programmed address (e.g. Address A3 is programmed, the next address will be automatically programmed as A4).

• Input applicable for potential free switches (< +5V in regard to neutral).

• Can respond to one or more group commands like ALL LIGHTS ON, ALL UNITS OFF. These functions are disabled by default.

• The internal appliance module remembers its status after a main voltage cut-off.

Color code wire connections

WARNING: THE WIRES OF THE MICROMODULE CARRY THE LIFE DANGER 230V MAIN- VOLTAGE!! ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE MAIN MASTER SWITCH BEFORE INSTALLING THE MICROMODULE.

NOTE: THE BLUE WIRE (COMMON) IS INTERNAL and DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE NEUTRAL CLAMP (N).

Description of the Marmitek MicroModule wires

Blue: Neutral (0) wire

Brown: Input 1, programmed base address + control of the built-in appliance module

The built-in appliance module will switch from ON to OFF or vise versa when the brown wire is connected with the blue wire. At the same time the programmed address will transmit the new status of the appliance module through the power line. Due to this Marmitek X10 transmission you are able to switch other Marmitek X10 modules (set to the same address). The new status will also be recognized by other MicroModuls or e.g. the computer interface (activating macro’s, status indication and more).

Red: Input 2, second address

When the red wire is connected to the blue wire, the programmed

4 MARMITEK

"address +1" will be transmitted (e.g. when A3 is programmed as the base address then the Marmitek X10 address A4 will be sent by using input 2). If the status in the MicroModule was ON, an OFF command will be transmitted. If the status in the MicroModule was OFF, an ON command will be transmitted. Through this transmission, other Marmitek X10 modules can be switched remotely over the power line or Macro’s setup in the computer interface can be activated.

Mounting Instructions

WARNING! ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE MAIN MASTER SWITCH BEFORE INSTALLING THE MICROMODULE.

To install the MicroModule AWM2 the following wiring is required at the module installation point.

1. Neutral

2. Phase 230V

3. Load. This wire runs directly to the load.

• Take the wall switch out of the wall outlet.

• Disconnect all wires from the switch.

• Pull an additional Neutral-wire in case this one is missing.

MICROMODULE AWM2 5

• Connect the phase, neutralize and load wire to the terminals of the MicroModule AWM2.

• Connect the thin wires of the built-in module to the wall switch. Connect the blue wire to clamp P of the wall switch.

• Position the MicroModule against the back wall of the wall outlet behind all the wires.

• You are now able to program the MicroModule. For more information see chapter "Programming".

Programming

WARNING: DO NOT FORGET TO TURN ON THE MAIN MASTER SWITCH PRIOR TO PROGRAMMING.

Activate the setup mode.

The following steps have to be taken to start the setup procedure for programming the MicroModule:

• Press the setup (prog.) button for at least 3 seconds (see figure 5). The LED should stay on after releasing the setup button.

• Warning! The MicroModule will leave the setup mode if it doesn’t receive any commands within 60 seconds.

Exit setup mode

• Press the setup button once shortly; The red LED will turn off now. You can also wait for at least 60 seconds so that the MicroModule will exit the setup mode automatically.

8 MARMITEK

For programming the Marmitek X10 address and options you will be able to use any Marmitek X10 controller or remote control. For the following explanation we used a Marmitek 8-in-1 remote control to program the preferred settings (When you use an RF remote control like the Marmitek 8-in-1, then a TM13 Plug-in Transceiver is required to convert the RF signals to the X10 commands on the power line).

Sample 1. Program the Marmitek X10 address E4:

• Setup your remote control (see manual 8-in-1) and the TM13 transceiver to house code E.

• Start with the MicroModule in setup mode.

• Press the Marmitek X10 button (marked with the symbol of a house) of the 8-in-1 remote control and then press button 4.

• Press the "ON" button 2x (= channel+).

• The MicroModule responds by blinking the LED twice.

• The address E4 is programmed.

Sample 2. Program the function "All Units Off"

• Make sure you program the required Marmitek X10 address first!! (e.g. E4).

• Leave the remote control and the TM13 Transceiver on HouseCode E or set it to the right HouseCode.

• Start with the MicroModule in setup mode.

• Press button marked with "All Units Off" 2x (= mute).

• The MicroModule responds by blinking the LED 8x.

NOTES:

• When you program the MicroModule, always program the address first the optional function second.

• If the MicroModule receives a new address during setup mode, the optional functions will be automatically reset to the factory defaults.
