I just purchased an X10 XPCR to aid in troublesome circuit. I installed the XPCR: red on same circuit as the CM15a (Phase1), Black on Phase 2, capped third black as Phase3 is N/A, and the white to the neutral bridge. I have not found any improvement, especially on the one troublesome circuit I have. My house is not all that large, about 1355 sq feet, two levels; so approximately 2600 sq. feet total. The CM15a worked fine prior to the installation of the XPCR with the exception of the above mentioned circuit. I am concerned that the XPCR may generate unnecessary noise if the repeater/amplification does not help me with that circuit. A couple of questions that I have though are:
1. The red LED on the XPCR does work and I get 3 flashes, pause, then 2 flashes when a command is sent. Is this normal?
2. I have not swapped the Red and Black wires to switch the phases. Will this do anything?
To temporarily correct the circuit issue and what I have been using in the past to make this circuit work is to transmit to TM751 on another HC and that TM751 RF's the on/off commands to a light on that circuit.
Any Help is much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Nate
