RR501 Transceiver
« on: July 12, 2006, 10:59:51 PM »
Would using a RR501 conflict with a CM15A ?
Would  a RR501 on the same house code as a DS7000 cause any problems ?
Will using 2 RR501's on the same house code extend the range of the signal to a module ?
   eg: one RR501 at point A another at point B 60 feet away from point A and the module at point C 15 feet away from point B.

The only way it MAY is if both are on the same House Code and receive the same RF signals. They are polite and one should wait for the other to finish. Some here have an RR501 in the other end of the home to cover poor spots.
Same for the DS7000.
The extending the distance with one in the middle would not extend the signal to C unless the A signal was lost and the B RR501 received the RF signal and it then got to C.
Others that have actually done this maybe able to give added details as I know there RR501s are being used with CM15As.
Where did you find RR501s? Last time I looked they where not on the web anymore. OH maybe the RCA venison the Midnight Bandit id pushing  ;D

The RR501 is the better Transceiver over the TM751 anyday. I got mine in the Original Active Home Kit and an extra when X10 was still selling them alone. A few weeks ago X10 was actually selling the original Active Home Kits for like dirt cheap. I still have two new AH Kit in storage as most fo my X10 stuff is gone and I am going to a different format Automation system.

Not too familiar with the kit. Someone with long associations with X10 seemed to think not all of the RCA kits had the RR501 in them.
I will brave the web popups and give a look.

I am safe ;D. Only thing was; the adventure didn't find the item in question. I sure love the layout of x10.com.

Unless the photo and description are wrong. I think it is just the older cm11a with a RCA Label.

Automatic Outlet  http://www.automatedoutlet.com/home.php will sell you a RR501 for $23.49 with shipping.  X10 will only sell it as part of the RC5000 set, which has the 16 unit Remote Control (RT504) included.  Go to Automatic Outlet if you want just a RR501.
