Badkamer en tweevlaks serie impulsdrukker met nulstand

Post by Noel »

Ik heb op mijn badkamer twee lampen.
1 boven de spiegel (TL), en 1 in het plafond.

Nu wil ik d.m.v. een tweevlaks serie impulsdrukker (met nulstand) de juiste lampen aan / uit kunnen zetten.

Kan dit met 1 SAX12, of moet ik achter iedere lamp 1 SAX12 hangen en die dan via een IMX10 (die achter de impulsdrukker zit) doen?

Of...Kan dit beter op een andere manier?

Hi Wifi,

(English in this forum please.)

The SAX12 has one internal relay and can send one additional address. So, if you want to be able to control two different lights independently, you need at least two modules: one SAX12 behind the wall switch, switching one of the lights directlty, and one SAX12 for the other light (behind the light, but note that you do need live and neutral wires, so the "central wiring box" (centraaldoos) might be a better place). The second SAX12 should be programmed to react to the secondary address of the first SAX12. Note that the light that is connected to the internal relay of the first SAX12 will be more responsive (almost no delay when operating the wall switch) than the one having its own SAX12 behind it (usual 700ms X10/A10 delay). This might be something to keep in mind when deciding which light to make the "primary" light.

The SAIX12 switch inputs are 230V, so you do not necessarily need to put the module bihind the switch, but can put them in/near the lamp if you have a switched (black) and neutral (blue) wire available. You can also combine one switch to activate 2 modules directly (common live wire to the switch (brown) and 2 switched wires coming from the switch to to modules (black)). In this way you are much more flexible in arranging switches and modules. With this aarangements there will be no switch-on delay on the second module as it is controlled directly.

Beware: never put two modules in the same wall mount, and use the same fused group when you combine two modules with one switch as described above.

Thank you both for the info.
I've got all the wires puled a long time ago, so this is no problem.
Also. All my lights in the house are on the same fused group, so this is also no problem.

I've already setup similar setups in the house, so I've got no problem with the setup, but I was hoping for a cheaper solution.
A double SAX12 (SAX24?)would be great :-)
I think that I'll go for two SAIX12's behind the lights and a IMX10 behind the switch.
I'll program the IMX10 on the SAIX12's house codes.

To bad that I've got 3 bathrooms. I will need to get 6 SAIX12's and 3 IMX10 :-(
