I have a 3 phase installation with a large number of x10 devices controlled by HomeSeer, with 8 house codes in use. Although I have "cleaned" the house of a large number of interference, installed passive phases coupled from Marmitex FD10's, still the signal is week on some wires/phases.
It seems I need an active repeater, I have read some negative information regarding the Marmitex CAT3000.
Can someone advice.

Hi Marcel,
I'd suggest the Xanura FKX phase coupler/active repeater. See http://www.domoticaforum.eu/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=491. But beware: it won't come cheap .

Marcel,
you can also try the "SVX10 - signaalversterker"
What you also can do is simple test connecting the CM11/CTX35 to power in the "Meterkast"

The FKX is the same as the CAT3000. Since I placed my FKX, a couple of week ago, I have no signal(strenght) problems any more.
What kind of negative readings did you read about the CAT3000? Link??

Thx all, currently i have already connected the CTX35 in the "meterkast".
Negative aspects: the CAT3000 doesn't work correct and according to Marmitek or a dealer of Marmitek they have previous adviced to use the passive FD10 couplers, because these are more stable/reliable.
Also i understood that a new version of the CAT3000 was/is planned to overcome the current issues.
Greetings Marcel

Hi,
I have x10 problems in my 3-phase installation.
I searched for xanura fkx phase coupler - I can't find any online shop. Any help?
Anyone knows where can I get it from?
Thanks
