Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Filterlinc Noise Filter 10AMP Plug-in Noise FilterCustomer Review: Fixed intermittent X-10 remote problems Summary: 5 Stars
For years my elderly Mother was using a X-10 remote to control the main lights in her bedroom and TV room and for a oscillating cooling fan. A few years ago her caregiver reported occasional problems, but when I checked things out I couldn't determine a cause as all worked fine. More recently problems increased. I found that sometimes having different electronic device plugged-in would disable the switch module in the distant bedroom and also the one for the fan. The one with the receiver antenna in the TV room worked fine. It was still intermittent though as sometimes when I was there with my laptop power supply plugged-in it caused the problem but at other time it wouldn't. Finally I got online to search for a solution and found these filter devices. The 10 amp was the best deal. Since plugging it into a AC socket in the same room as the receiver module all has worked fine. Wished I'd know about this long ago.
Description of Filterlinc Noise Filter 10AMP Plug-in Noise FilterIf your X10 system consists of a desktop timer and a couple of modules, chances are you won't encounter signal-strength problems. But if you're using several X10 switches, modules, and controllers throughout the house and want to assure maximum reliability, you'll need to supplement your system with the FilterLinc Plug-In Noise Filter. The dual-function 10-amp plug-in noise filters not only block unwanted interference on the power line, they also prevent other devices from attenuating your signals - resulting in a virtually problem-free X10 system. Details and SpecificationsThe FilterLinc Plug-In Noise Filter blocks interference from many household appliances and fixtures, preventing it from polluting the power line. The plug-in noise filter also prevents X10 signal absorption that occurs when equipment misreads the signals as noise. A feed-through outlet is a new feature built into the plug-in noise filter, preventing you from having to unplug the filter anytime you're looking for an available plug. For added convenience, the FilterLinc Plug-In Noise Filter is fully compatible with FM intercoms and Home PNA devices.Eliminates Electrical Noise from the Power LineOne of the most common (and easily correctable) problems that may adversely affect X10 signals is electrical "noise," or interference. The more interference there is on the power line, the more difficult it is for X10 receivers to detect signals from X10 controllers. It's like trying to have a conversation in a room when the music is playing too loud. But the FilterLinc Plug-In Noise Filter blocks that interference, preventing it from polluting the power line. Common sources of interference include refrigerators, freezers, plug-in fluorescent fixtures, aquarium filters, fountains, low-voltage lighting, fans, or anything with a motor.
