Re: 1132B PowerLinc transmit problem

[nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Dave Houston)]

First, try the 1132B and lamp module connected to the same outlet. This will
assure they are on the same phase. If it still doesn't work it may be a
defective 1132B.

All of the X-10 made transceivers transmit at 120° intervals to coincide
with the ZC of all three possible phases so it may not matter which phases
are used for the transceiver although it may require a phase coupler.

The signal strength of the 1132B is about the same as the transceiver. If
the transceiver works from outlets where the 1132B fails, it cannot be
blamed on a weaker signal.

Can you ask the folks who manage the complex whether it has 3-phase power?
Larger complexes tend to use 3-phase but it is just conjecture until we have
the facts.
