(Fwd) Foreign Product Line

["Mark McCall" <Mark@xxxxxxx>]

Below is a copy of an email I received yesterday from Melissa
Vandenburg of Home Automation Systems, Inc. in America.  It
outlines their 220V 50Hz product lines and I thought some of you
might be interest.

We carry some X10 products for 220/240 countries.  X10 is working on more
of the modules for 220 volts.  We will soon be adding additional modules to
serve foreign customers. Have you seen our Web page just for 220-volt
countries?  It is at:
http://www.techmall.com/smarthome/foreignnewprod.html

It lists some of the products we sell for single-phase 220/240 volts and 50
Hz (the type of service found in most residential homes). If you don't see
what you are looking for, check back later or join our E-mail mailing list

Due to some regulation changes recently by the European Commission, most
X10 products are now not approved for European use.  The EC regulations
that govern X-10 is the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) directive.
This directive came into force 1/1/96.  EC approved modules will be coming
on the market shortly.  Since Europe is the largest market for 220 volt X10
modules, other regions of the world will most like have to wait for these
revised modules.

Receiving modules and wall switches don't care if the frequency is 60Hz or
50Hz.  They will automatically sync-up to the 50 or 60 Hertz.  Transmitters
are (somewhat) the opposite.  Since they have no moving parts (excluding
the code wheels and the little buttons) they are more forgiving of voltage.
The 277v transmitters we sell perform quite well on lower voltages like
220v.  With each reduced level of voltage there is a corresponding drop in
output signal, but it usually insignificant and sufficient to do send the
signal across the lines.  X10 transmitter will work fine on your 220v,
single phase "residential" installations, BUT its wires will not
conform to
the color codes there.  I also doubt that they will fit your wall boxes
either.
