Start package, Type SPXH The Start package has been put together for those who want to start integrating comfort and safety enhancing functionalities into homes. It provides an ideal basis for the automation of any type of home, in new and existing buildings.
Schematic summary Schematic summary Complete modular concept XanuraHome is a modular flexible home automation system. As a result, it is possible to offer a system for each home that meets the individual requirements of the occupants/owners. The figure below shows a schematic diagram of an example XanuraHome system. A concise description of the components is given on the right-hand side. For a detailed explanation of these components, please refer to the page specified.
ABX1 • remote control unit XanuraHome Network Connection One remote control unit is able to operate the TV, video, DVD, audio (infrared), and various other XanuraHome applications that use radio frequency. More info on page 19 LAN-Connection HCB I/O ports connect to the alarm system, dimmer switch, electric door lock etc.
Functionalities XanuraHome Functionalities XanuraHome What can XanuraHome actually be used for? A simple question that is difficult to answer. Due to the flexible characteristics of the XanuraHome system, it is impossible to describe all the specific application possibilities. With the XanuraHome Control Box and integrated software, it is possible to achieve virtually all switching operations that can be translated into conditions and actions [IF... AND/OR... THEN...] with XanuraHome in a simple way.
Can XanuraHome also be used for care applications? XanuraHome is used in residential areas for professional care projects in combination with products developed specifically for this purpose. This offers elderly people and those requiring assistance the opportunity to live independently for longer. A few examples of these applications are: • The way to the toilet is automatically lit when a person gets out of bed for night-time toilet trips and automatically switches off when they return to bed.
Operation Operation XanuraHome is a system that is easy to use. Since it uses the (existing) lighting circuit it is not necessary to invest time and money in a special network. To better understand the system's operation, XanuraHome is explained below point by point. Intelligent use of the lighting circuit XanuraHome uses an infrastructure that is already available, the lighting circuit. XanuraHome modules are used for the communication via this circuit.
XanuraHome Control Box without computer? It may sound contradictory, but the HCB controls the XanuraHome system completely autonomously. The computer is really only needed for setting or programming the individual scenarios that can be programmed via a browser such as Internet Explorer. Once this is completed, the HCB will send the commands via the lighting circuit independently at the pre-programmed times, for example, and thus “control” the house as it were.
Operation Coupling of external appliances XanuraHome is an open system. Potential free inputs and outputs of equipment can be connected to the inputs and outputs of the HCB. These can then be switched in scenarios or used as a condition in a scenario. For example, an existing alarm system that can activate the lighting in an alarm situation. Potential free outputs of appliances can also be connected to the potential free wires of the XanuraHome modules.
The following pages contain descriptions of the most commonly used components. A complete overview of all XanuraHome components can be found on the back page. ACTUATORS PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS A C T U AT O R S In order to perform switching and dimming operations remotely, one actuator is needed for each (lighting) point to be automated. Each actuator is assigned an address. The XanuraHome actuators can be fitted locally, in the junction boxes, behind the (lighting) circuits to be automated.
Address Prog. P SAIX12 Prog. Address Actuators Application behind switches or retractive switches L N N SAIX12 N L Connection and operation The 230 V input wires of the SAIX12 module can be connected to switches or retractive switches. This makes it possible to operate this module manually. The module has two inputs and two addresses. The first input (address) is used to switch the output of the module by energising the internal relay.
Actuators Application behind a wall socket Address Prog. DAIX12 Address Prog. N N L DAIX12 L N Connection and operation In this application the input wires are not connected. By using the DAIX12, a conventional wall socket can be switched and dimmed remotely by means of XanuraHome commands originating from XanuraHome interfaces or remote control units. Address Prog.

Actuators ZAX12 Sun blind actuator Built-in module ZAX12 ZAX12 Product description The ZAX12 is a sun blind actuator with interface equipped with 230 V inputs. The ZAX12 can be used for easy automation of electrically operated sun blinds, roll-down shutters, curtains and screens based on 230 V motors. As a result, these applications can be operated remotely as well as manually.
Actuators can be controlled from various control points in the house through interfaces. Each actuator can be operated by several interfaces if required, very simply and without the need to change the wiring. It is enough to set the correct addresses even if the actuator and interface are on different groups or phases. Detailed below are the main interfaces that can be used for various applications.
Interfaces XanuraHome Control Box Product description The XanuraHome Control Box (HCB) is a small, powerful computer for the home. The HCB allows various existing systems from reputable suppliers to be linked together into a seamless operating whole. The HCB is equipped with various ports for this purpose. A XanuraHome A-10 (X10 compatible) controller is also integrated.

Interfaces Providing service remotely Many distances can be bridged with the XanuraHome Control Box. One of them is the distance to customers to provide service. The XanuraHome Control Box makes it possible to provide customers with a remote service. For example, when creating macros or servicing. You can log into your customer's XanuraHome Control Box from your own PC and with the customer's permission. In the software you can check the programming and change it if necessary.
By using radio frequency XanuraHome components it is possible to operate the XanuraHome system remotely. A special feature of the RF components is that the signals penetrate walls and ceilings effortlessly so the transmitter and receiver do not have to be situated in the same room. The most important RF and IR components are detailed below. ABX1 Universal remote control unit Product description Chararacteristics One universal remote control unit to operate lighting and equipment.
Remaining components REMAINING COMPONENTS The XanuraHome range provides a number of other components of which the most commonly used are shown below. SFX40 Blocking filter DIN modular component 1- fase systeem LN Product description The SFX40 blocking filter prevents XanuraHome commands from leaving the house or other signals from entering the house via the lighting circuit. The blocking filter is modular and is installed in the distribution box.
Product description The PMIX35 is an indispensable tool for the proficient installation of XanuraHome. The programming unit can be used to measure the strength of the signal and noise levels. This makes it possible to examine the lighting circuit, isolate any disturbances with a filter and test installed modules immediately. Besides being used as a measuring instrument, the PMIX35 can also be used for simple programming of XanuraHome modules.
Practical examples PRACTICAL EXAMPLES To give an impression of the layout of a XanuraHome installation and the materials that are required, a comprehensive practical example is shown below. The desires with respect to the switching and dimming possibilities that are described in the left-hand column of the table below and on the following page, are depicted in the diagram by the modules and other XanuraHome components required. How the work is carried out is described in the column on the right.
EXECUTION Operation of the "cosy atmosphere" lights and TV, video and audio appliances with only one remote control device. By choosing the ABX1 for remote control operations, it is possible to switch not only the lighting but also most types of TV`s/videos and audio appliances. For switching the lighting, a RF interface (RFIX35) must be fitted in the home. When nobody is at home, switching of the lights to give the impression that the home is occupied. (Varying daily sequences).
