X10 Digimax 210 RF Thermostat for use with SC28X Home Automation Controller

Digimax 210
The Digimax 210 is a battery operated wireless room thermostat compatible with the SC28X. Up to 4 units can be used in a house.

The thermostat will control the next House Code after the SC28X (the normal setup of the SC28X uses A, so the thermostat would use B). The first thermostat would control the first Address (B1), the second would control the second address (B2) and so on, up to a maximum of 4.

Note for existing X10 users. The above security sensors use 16bit secure RF communication which is NOT compatible with normal X10 RF modules. In other words none of these sensors can be used with the TM13U

These units are fully compatible with the Sunvic TLX1206 and TLX7506 thermostat and receiver unit so if you have a faulty Sunvic unit then these may be used as swap-outs. You cannot use the Sunvic in place of the X10 units

Approved

The optional RF Receiver may be used to receive the signals from a Digimax and can be wired directly into your central heating so that the Digimax can control the heating in your house

Setting Up The RF10 Receiver with the TS10 Thermostat

Press and hold the + and - buttons on the TS10 for at least 3 seconds. The TS10 will then transmit its unique digital security code every 10 seconds for the next 5 minutes. The display with show flashing ']]]' while this is happening
Within the 5 minute period go to the RF10 RF Receiver. Press and hold the INSTALL button and then press the TEST button whilst the INSTALL button is held. This will clear out any previously installed codes. The Red LED will pulse slowly for 3 second to indicate this has been done
Next, place the Receiver in Install mode by pressing and holding INSTALL button (for at least 10 seconds). tttThe red LED will come on and stay on until a valid Install Code and has been received. When this happens the red LED will start pulsing slowly and the install button can be released. The red LED will pulse for a further 3 seconds and then go off. The Install Code has been successfully received
Go to the TS10 and press any key to stop the transmission. the display will stop flashing ']]]' and return to normal
The RF10 RF Receiver will no wonly respond to radio signals from the installed code. Even if the power is removed the Receiver will not forget the installed code
Check that the TS10 and RF10 are communicating with each other by adjusting the thermostat set point above or below the actual temperature thus generating a radio signal requesting the heating to come on or off and check that the boiler responds as expected. The red LED on the Receiver will flash for 3 seconds each time a radio signal is received
The TS10 also sends a radio signal every 5 minutes to make sure that the RF10 knows what state it is in. If the RF10 does not receive regular RF signals the red LED will come indicating that a fault condition has occurred
