HOW DOES HAIBRAIN X-10 WORK?
Haibrain X-10 components use the existing mains wiring to
communicate (using Haibrain X-10 signals). You can build a
complete system using the three different kind of components
of the Haibrain X-10 System:
1. Modules: These components will receive Haibrain X-10
signals and will switch or dim the attached lamp or appliance.
Examples of these modules are lamp modules and appliance
modules. These are available as build-in, micro, DIN rail and
plug-in modules.
2. Controllers: These components will transmit Haibrain X-10
signals and thus will control the Modules.
3. Transmitters: Wireless components like remotes. The signals
of these components will be received by a controller with
transceiver functionality (IRRF 7243, TM13 or CM15Pro). The
Transceiver will translate the signals into Haibrain X-10
signals on the power line.
ADRESSES
Up to a maximum of 256 different addresses can be preset.
These are subdivided into a so-called HouseCode (A to P incl.)
and a UnitCode (1 to 16 incl.). The HouseCode can also be set
on the controllers, so that the controllers and modules become
part of the same system. The address can be set either using
code dials or by pressing buttons, depending on the type of
module.
The Haibrain X-10 System uses standard commands, which
control all units with the same HouseCode at the same time
(e.g. all lights on, all off, etc.).

SIGNAL RANGE
Range of Haibrain X-10 signals over the Power Line and how
to increase the range.
The Haibrain X-10 System is based on power line communica-
tion. The range of the Haibrain X-10 signals very much de-
pends on the local circumstances. On average the range is a
cable length of 80 meters.
If you have difficulties with the range of your Haibrain X-10
signals, please pay attention to the following facts:
1. When more than one phase is used for your electrical system,
it is necessary to couple these phases for the Haibrain X-10
signals. For coupling you can use FD10 Phase Couplers/Filters.
You only need to install a Phase Coupler/Filter when your wall
outlets and light switches are divided over more than one
phase (more than one group is no problem). For bigger
buildings or longer distances we advice you to use an active
repeater instead of passive FD10’s.
2. It is possible that Haibrain X-10 signals are attenuated by
devices and lights which are connected to the power line. In a
normal home situation this effect is negligible (the Haibrain
X-10 system is using active gain control to eliminate the
effects). However, it is possible that a particular device in your
house is attenuating the signals so much that the range of
Haibrain X-10 signals is decreased significantly. When you
have range problems, it is wise to try to locate the device
which is attenuating the signals simply by unplugging devices
from the power line, and testing the differences in range for
your Haibrain system. When e.g. your conclusion is that e.g.
your computer monitor is attenuating the signal, you can use

a FM10 Plug-in Filter between the power line and the monitor
to eliminate the effects.
Known devices which can cause attenuation are:
PC Monitors
PCs with heavy internal power supplies
Old Televisions
Copiers
Fluorescent Lights
Gas Discharge Lamps (Energy Saving Lamps)
3. Some (old) devices are able to disturb the signal by
transmitting noise on the power line. Because the Haibrain
X-10 signals are transmitted on 120 kHz, only noise on or near
this frequency will have influence on the range. When you use
a FM10 Filter to connect this device to the power line, the
noise will be filtered.
4. The Haibrain X-10 protocol has several mechanism to avoid
modules to be switched on or off by other sources than your
Haibrain X-10 Controllers. However, it is possible that the
Haibrain X-10 signals are disturbed by e.g. baby phones
which are in TALK mode (continuous transmission). When
these kind of signals are present on the power line it is
possible that the Haibrain X-10 signals will not come
through.
5. The mains do not stop at the front door of your home.
Everything that is attached to mains nearby your home can
have influence on Haibrain X-10 signals (e.g. heavy
machinery). If you think that your system is influenced by
devices out of your house, it is advisable to install FD10 Phase
6© HAIBRAIN

Coupler/Filter on each phase entering the house. These filters
will block signals coming into or going out of your house, but
will also match the impedance for the mains. Hereby make
your house Haibrain X-10 compatible for these units. The
FD10’s will not only filter but will also couple the phases
(please see 1).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIBRAIN
X-10 IN WALL SHUTTER MODULE SW12
INTRODUCTION
This unit allows a motor-
ized blind to be con-
trolled either manually
from a momentary
switch with two nor-
mally open contacts con-
nected to the unit, or
remotely by serial
Haibrain X-10 Powerline messages sent from a suitable
controller. When controlled serially the blind can be made to go
to inter-mediate settings in addition to fully up or fully down.
Window parameters, such as Window Size and Current Posi-
tion, together with the unit’s address are set into it by the user
when the unit is put into Install Mode and these are stored in
permanent memory. This data is retained even through a loss of
power.

To install the SW12, neutral and phase are required at the in-
stallation point.
• Take the wall switch out of the wall box.
• Disconnect all wires from the switch.
• Connect the live to the terminal wire L (3, Live) of the SW12
and to the switch as described in the drawing.
• Connect the neutral to the N (2, Neutral) terminal wire of the
SW12 and to the Neutral of the Motor.
• Connect the DN (1) terminal of SW12 to Motor Down, the UP
(4) terminal to Motor Up.
• Connect the Blue (5) wire coming from the SW12 to the Up
key of the switch, the Orange (6) wire from the SW12 to the
Down key of the switch.
• Put the SW12 into the wall box and re-fix the wall switch on
the wall box.
• Switch on mains fuse and master switch.
PROGRAMMING
Before the unit can be used it has to be told what the window
height is. This means it needs to know how long it takes to
travel from fully open to fully closed. It also needs to know
where the current position of the blind is - whether fully up or
down or at some intermediate position. To enter this data into
the unit and also to set in the X-10 address the unit must be
put into Install Mode.
To enter Install Mode:
Press the UP key. The blind will travel up until it reaches the top
end stop. Continue to press the key and 5 seconds after reach-
ing the fully up position it will enter Install Mode. At this point it
9SW12

will tell the user that Install mode is active by making the blind
travel down for 1 second before driving back up to the fully up
position. The key can now be released.
The module now thinks it is at the top end stop, but physically
this may not be true. The window blind itself may be only par-
tially up because the mechanism has not yet been aligned to
the electronics. If this is the case just continue to press the UP
KEY until the blind also reaches it’s top end stop. The blind
mechanism and the electronics are now aligned and the key can
be released.
To enter the window size:
Press the Down key to send the blind down and release it when
the bottom end stop is reached. You can either give a short key
press to start the blind going down and another short key press
to stop it at the bottom or you can press and hold the key until
the blind is fully down and then release it. At this point the unit
has timed how long it took to go from fully up to fully down
and recorded this as the window size. It has also set the current
position to be fully down, so it’s important not to press the UP
key again before leaving Install Mode.
To enter the Haibrain X-10 address:
Before leaving Install you have to set in the unit’s address. To do
this you just send the X-10 message ‘ADDRESS ON’ or ‘AD-
DRESS OFF’ twice on your chosen House Code (using any
Haibrain X-10 controller - i.e.: TM13 + RF remote control). Do
not mix up ‘ON’s and ‘OFF’s. To be accepted, both messages
must be exactly the same.
To return to RUN mode:
Press the Down Key. The blind will drive UP initially for 2 sec-
10 © HAIBRAIN

onds before returning to the fully down position to indicate it
has left Install Mode. The unit will also return to RUN mode if
no keys are pressed for 1 minute.
DEFAULT SETTING
When the unit leaves the factory the window size will be set to
Maximum (2 mins. and 8 sec) and the Blind’s position will be
set to Fully Up. This makes it particularly easy to get into Install
Mode because the 5 second timeout on the UP key will then
start immediately it is pressed. If the window size and the
blind’s position is unknown, however, it might seem confusing
when first trying to enter Install Mode since the user will not
know how long it will take to get to the fully up position before
starting to count the 5 second entry delay into Install.
To make it easier the unit can be put into the default setting im-
mediately by doing the following procedure.
- Remove power to the unit and wait 10 seconds.
- Re-apply power and within 1 minute send ‘P16’ ‘PON’ twice.
You can also use ‘P16’ ‘POFF’ if you wish.
- The unit will now set in the default setting described above
and will set the unit’s address to P16 without the need to get
into Install Mode.
You can then get into Install Mode simply by pressing the UP
Key for 5 seconds or so and then entering the settings you re-
ally want to use.

MANUAL CONTROL
Manual control can be achieved by pressing suitable momentary
acting keys wired to the Orange and Blue wires provided on the
unit. The Blue wire connects to the UP key and the Orange wire
connects to the DOWN key.
You can control the blind in 2 different ways:
- Press and hold down the key until the blind reaches the
desired position.
- Give the key a short press to start the blind moving in the
direction you want and then another short press to stop it at
the desired position.
You can also fully open or close the blind just by giving a short
key press to start the blind moving in the direction you want .
The blind will then travel to the fully open or fully closed posi-
tion (as determined electronically by internal counting) and after
adding a 6 second over travel will automatically shut off the ap-
propriate drive relay. The over travel is to ensure that the blind
fully reaches its end stop before the unit switches off its drive
relays.
HAIBRAIN X-10 CONTROL
The unit will respond to X-10 power line commands sent in
‘Standard’ and ‘Extended’ format.
The unit responds to ‘Standard’ X-10 messages ‘Address On’ ,
‘Address Off’ , BRIGHT and DIM .
‘ON’ fully opens the blind and ‘OFF’ fully closes it. A suitable
over travel depending on window size is added to the drive
time to ensure that the end stops are reached before the unit
switches its own relays off.

BRIGHT and DIM can be used to set the blind to any position.
The action is identical to that which occurs when the UP and
DOWN keys are pressed. Bright is equivalent to UP and DIM is
equivalent to DOWN.
The unit will also respond to ‘Extended’ code1 X-10 messages
of Type = 0. Using these commands enables the unit to re-
motely set the blind to any desired position using a suitable
controller and fully automate the blinds in the house, apartment
or office. Extended code messages can be sent to the SW12
using a CM15PRO Computer Interface for example.
FREQENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the reason for modules to switch on/off sponta-
neously?
It is possible that a Haibrain X-10 System is installed at one of
your neighbours using the same House Code. To solve this
problem try to change the House Code of your system, or have
FD10 Phase Coupler/Filter installed at your incoming mains.
My modules will not respond to my controller.
Make sure that the House Code on all Modules and Controllers
are set to the same House Code (A .. P).
My modules will not react to my remote / sensor.
When you use a remote or sensor, you should have at least one
TM13 Transceiver or Haibrain X-10 Security Console installed in
your house. These components will translate the radio signals to
the Haibrain X-10 signal on the power line. Using several re-
motes and sensors, you only need one central transceiver.
13SW12

Am I able to increase the range of my remotes by using
more Transceivers?
Yes, you can use more than one TM13 Transceiver in your home
when the range of your remotes is not sufficient. The TM13 is
using so called collision detection to prevent signals to be dis-
turbed when more than one TM13 is transmitting. TM13’s will
wait for a quite power line before transmitting their data. To
prevent your Haibrain X-10 System to become slow or to pre-
vent dimming from becoming less smooth, make sure that the
TM13 units are placed as far away from each other as possible.
Can I set the SW12 using the Active Home Pro software?
Yes, you can, select SW12 at Appliances. You can partly open
and close the SW12 using percentages. The percentages will
however not fully correspond with the real situation. (It has only
25 positions, so it will always change with a multiple of 4 %)
Do I need to do anything extra if I want to replace my
current switch by a SW12?
Yes, the SW12 can be used in place of any normal switch, but
you have to replace your normal switch with a momentary
switch with two normally open contacts
Does the SW12 respond to the commands ‘All lights on’
and ‘All units off’?
No. The SW12 does not respond to these commands.
The blinds do not open fully when I press the button.
Recalibrate your window height.
What is the maximum programmable time in the SW12?
The maximum time that can be set is 127 seconds.
