RE: New lighting wiring

["Neil Frost" <neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Marcus



Am I right in thinking that you can't run low energy light bulbs on an
LD11?
Even though all I would be doing is turning them on and off?



Also, if I use something like XAP and Floorplan, am I right in thinking
that
it wouldn't be able to tell what state the AD10 / LD11 are in i.e. on or
off?



Thanks

Neil

I have most of my lights on LD11 Din modules and did start to use an
AD10 for the bathroom lighting but found that the *LOUD* CLUNK that the
AD10 makes could be heard all over the house (even though it was mounted
in an enclosure in a cupboard!). Quickly replaced with an LD11.

I did try a micromodule which although it was much quieter also has some
issues, mainly that the switching wire is low voltage unlike the
AD10/LD11 and so it was more difficult or impossible to install as a
simple replacement for the AD10

Rather than run new wires to behind the bed you could use a stick on
remote switch that works via RF (battery operated) and talks to a plugin
TM13 receiver unit that then passes on the X10 signal to the LD11 unit.

For AD10, either an on/off or momentary switch would do. Have a look at
the technical diagram on our website to see how each is connected to the
AD10.

Yes. One thing to bear in mind when running the local control wires is
that they should be as far away from other electrical wiring as
possible.
We have known a number of cases where induced current from nearby wires
were sufficient to activate the AD10/LD11 in question.
