6.) the green light on the Remote Control flashes and the green
Data
light on the
Receiver flashes, but still no response.
The Remote Control has sent a valid command; the Receiver has sensed
the command and also has qualified it as a valid command. The Receiver
is also acting on the command — either sending signals out the infrared
emitter connectors or out to the X-10 Powerline Interface Module.
If you have pressed an audio/video command
, your problem may be one of the
following:
a.)
You may have the emitter cable placed in the wrong area on your
A/V equipment. You can verify that the codes are being emitted by
looking on the back of the MARC+ Receiver and seeing the green
diagnostic light flash. Check the section in your Owner's Manual on "How
do I locate the A/V equipment's infrared sensor."
b.)
You may have not programmed the infrared codes into the
Receiver properly. Try learning the infrared code again, making sure the
light inside the MARC+ Receiver's window is flashing brightly; you may
need to hold the infrared remote control closer or further away depending
on the strength of the signal.
c.)
You may have a defective emitter cable (or connector). You can
verify this with a camcorder if one is available to you. While infrared light
is invisible to the eye, you are able to see the infrared flashes at the emitter
end (it's brightest on the front of the emitter) through the viewfinder of a
camcorder. If you have more than one emitter cable, you may be able to
isolate the defective one by switching cables.
If you have pressed an X-10® command
, your problem may be one of the following:
a.) The X-10 module is not set to the correct House and Unit codes —
valid module settings are listed in X-10 Operation section of your Owner's
Manual.
b.) You are expecting some action which is not allowed by X-10®.
Example 1: the Dim/Bright operation applies only to the last
module accessed;
Example 2: the Dim/Bright operation does not apply to the All
Lights zone;
Example 3: if you have dimmed a light completely down, you
cannot command it ON and expect full brightness (it thinks it is
already on at a low level; you must either brighten it, or first turn it OFF,
and then ON). These are X-10-defined operations.
c.) Even though the Receiver checks for the presence of the X-10
Interface Module, you may still have a defective cable. The Interface
Module has a red light which is normally on — if your interface cable is
good, this red light should flash off briefly as X-10 signals are being sent
to the power line.
