SAFETY WARNINGS
xThe wiring of your electrical installation is live (230 V)
and extremely dangerous. Never connect the module
when plugged into the mains. Always turn off the
main switch before starting the installation.
xThis product is for professional use and should be
installed by a certified installer."
xTo prevent short circuits, this product should only be
used inside and only in dry spaces. Do not expose the
components to rain or moisture. Do not use the
product close to a bath, swimming pool etc.
xDo not expose the components of your systems to
extremely high temperatures or bright light sources.
xIn case of improper usage or if you have altered and
repaired the product yourself, all guarantees expire.
Marmitek does not accept responsibility in the case of
improper usage of the product or when the product is
used for purposes other than specified. Marmitek
does not accept responsibility for additional damage
other than covered by the legal product
responsibility.
xThis product is not a toy. Keep out of reach of
children.
xDo not open the product: the device may contain live

HOW DOES MARMITEK X-10 WORK?
Marmitek X-10 components use the existing mains wiring
to communicate (using Marmitek X-10 signals). You can
build a complete system using the three different kind of
components of the Marmitek X-10 System:
1. Modules: These components will receive Marmitek 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 Marmitek
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,
CM15Pro…..). The Transceiver will translate the signals into
Marmitek 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 Marmitek X-10 System uses standard commands,
which control all units with the same HouseCode at the
same time (e.g. all lights on, all units off, etc.).

SIGNAL RANGE
Range of Marmitek X-10 signals over the Power Line
and how to increase the range.
The Marmitek X-10 System is based on power line
communication. The range of the Marmitek X-10 signals
very much depends on the local circumstances. On average
the range is a cable length of 80 meters.
If you have difficulties with the range of your
Marmitek 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
Marmitek 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 Marmitek 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 Marmitek 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 Marmitek 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 Marmitek system.
When e.g. your conclusion is that e.g. your computer
monitor is attenuating the signal, you can use a FM10

SMM31 7
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
Marmitek 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 Marmitek X-10 protocol has several mechanism to
avoid modules to be switched on or off by other sources
than your Marmitek X-10 Controllers. However, it is
possible that the Marmitek 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 Marmitek 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 Marmitek 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 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 Marmitek X-10 compatible
for these units. The FD10’s will not only filter but will also
couple the phases (please see 1).

FUNCTIONS
xMakes your X-10 system invisible.
xInvisible installation built-in behind existing switches
or wall sockets. The module works with all makes and
types of switches, which means it can be used in every
interior and with all installations.
xQuick and easy to install and program.
xTransforms your existing 1- way standard rocker
switch into a X-10 controllable switch.
xMicromodule with built-in relay with two contacts for
connecting a 230V motor.
xCan be operated remotely with an X-10 signal or
locally, fully open/closed or on every interim position.
xLowers, in combination with the CM15Pro™ computer
interface, the sun blinds automatically during the day
in places where the sun shines inside. This way you
protect your furniture against the sunlight, keep the
house cool and simulate that you are at home.
xThe MicroModule uses one-way X-10 communication.

INTRODUCTION
This unit allows a motorized
blind to be controlled either
manually from a 1- way
standard rocker switch
connected to the unit, or
remotely by serial Marmitek
X-10 Powerline messages sent from a suitable controller.
When controlled serially the blind can be made to go to
intermediate settings in addition to fully up or fully down
with dim and bright commands.
INSTALLATION
xSwitch off appropriate mains fuse and master switch!
xImportant : 230V - 50Hz - 1A per channel max.
xTo install the SMM31, neutral and phase are required
at the installation point.
xTake the wall switch out of the wall box.
xDisconnect all wires from the switch.
xPull an additional Neutral wire if it is missing.
xConnect the phase and neutral wire to the “L” and
“N” terminals of the micromodule
xConnect the terminal 1 of SMM31 to Motor Down,
the terminal 2 to Motor Up.
xConnect the thin Black and Red wires of the built-in
module to the 1- way standard rocker switch.
xPosition the MicroModule against the back wall of
the wall outlet behind all the wires.
xYou are now able to program the MicroModule.
xFor more information see chapter “Programming”.
xInstall the 1- way standard rocker switch at its original
SMM31 9

place after the MicroModule is programmed.
xPlease note: due to heat generation, apply no more
than one module per flush socket / central socket!
PROGRAMMING.
WARNING: DO NOT FORGET TO TURN ON THE MAIN
MASTER SWITCH PRIOR TO PROGRAMMING.
Programming the address:
The factory setting for the SMM31 is to address A1.
Unlike most Marmitek X-10 Modules the SMM31 does not
have code wheels.
To change the address, the module needs to be set to the
program mode.
Press and hold the “Program” button for 5 seconds,
indicator light Turns ON, means entering “Program
mode”. Transmit the address command (xx ON or XX OFF),
at this time the indicator light goes OFF.
Warning! The MicroModule will leave the setup mode if it
doesn’t receive any commands within 30 seconds.
