2-address Transmitter (micro module)

DIX2

  

The DIX2 is an A10 micro module transmitter that is wired to momentary switches (4 max). The switches connected to the DIX2 effectively become A10 Transmitters, enabling them to control your X10/A10 Receivers and Interfaces. The DIX2 is similar to the DIX1 except that it controls only two X10 addresses. However, the DIX2 has two connections per address, enabling one momentary switch to be used for on/bright commands and another to be used for off/dim commands. The DIX2 works best with 2-way momentary rocker switches as a momentary press up is used for on/bright and a momentary press down on the same switch sends off/dim commands.

 

  Characteristics

• Sends ON/OFF and DIM commands

• Can control up to a maximum of two addresses

• Two inputs per address; one for on/bright and another for off/dim

• Can only be used with momentary switches

• Supports status request to ensure command reception

Note: the DIX2 does not directly control a load - it is an A10 Transmitter only.

Operation

The wires of the DIX2 module can be connected to momentary switches. With one module, a maximum of two addresses can be controlled by connecting it to either one 2-way momentary switch, or two 1-way momentary switches. A quick press of the momentary switch will transmit an X10 on or off command (toggle) - a sustained press will send dim/bright commands until the switch is released.

 

Installation
Phase and neutral wires are required to be connected to the DIX2
