If you've been looking for an X10 appliance module powerful enough to handle
loads higher than 20 amps, you're in luck! Due to popular request from Smarthome
customers, we now offer an X10 module powerful enough to handle appliances
rated as high as 30-amps. Use it for controlling electric water heaters, air
conditioners, baseboard heaters, and other heavy-duty appliances up to 7,200
watts!
Save a small fortune on your utility bills by programming your electric water
heater to turn on only during off-peak hours. Reduce your power consumption
by setting your air conditioner to turn off after you leave for work in the
morning and turn on again an hour before you get home. You can even fire up
your hot tub or spa with a phone call, making sure it's at the perfect temperature
when you finally arrive home (requires an optional telephone transponder,
#5000 or #5005).
This module is hardwired between the power from the circuit breaker panel
and the appliance it controls. It can be controlled remotely by an X10 command
from any X10 transmitter, or locally by physically pressing the ON/OFF button
on the panel. Depending on your needs, it can even be configured to control
two 120VAC appliances instead of a single 240VAC appliance.
As an added bonus, the 30-Amp Appliance Relay Module also acts as an X10
signal coupler-repeater. This feature, which normally costs over $100 in
a separate unit, will improve the reliability of your X10 system. Additionally,
the unit can be programmed to only respond to two successive X10 commands,
thereby reducing the risk of a false signal tripping the unit!
For users who have three-phase power, which is commonly found in some industrial
locations and apartments, this unit is the first 'phase-to-phase' controller
we have every seen that works. Where all other 220-volt controllers fail
to operate on three-phase electricity, this unit succeeds! We had to test
it ourselves to believe it and it passed!
Other
features include:
Enclosed in a heavy-duty PVC enclosure, the 30-Amp Appliance Relay Module
measures 4.36 (W) x 6.36" (H) x 2" (D) and includes 18" of 10-gauge hookup
wires. No need having to spend money for a failed unit as it includes a
limited lifetime warranty.
