I installed a PowerMax+ system for my kid and now she says the X10 Powerhorns (SH10A) don't work anymore.
The SH10A horns stopped sounding, about a year after the install. (The system is about 4 years old).
They should be going off, whenever the main horn (outdoors) goes off.
I tested them from the PowerMax+ keypad, and they worked on the second or third press of the On key..
Took one of the X-10 Powerhorns home and tested it with a mini-controller MC10A,
same results, it turns on after 2 or 3 transmissions of the on signal. On-off-on works okay..
When I read the specs, the SH10A requires those extra signals!
So, it seems the PowerMax+ controller isn't transmitting repeating On signals..
I've looked at the programming, but do not understand what has changed (if anything has).
I don't see/reconize a function that controls the amount of X-10 signals sent to the SH10A.
Anyone here with any hints for me?
My last resort fix is to buy some regular X-10 modules and use them to drive some loud beepers..
Thanks,
Rich
