This economical X-10 Signal Meter is half the price of most test tools on the market, yet can do 90% of what the more expensive models do, including answering questions like:
* Is there an X-10 signal present?
* Is the X-10 signal too low?
* Is there noise interference?
* Is the signal corrupted? For a whole house test, use the X-10 transmitter of your choice to continuously send an X-10 transmission. (i.e. ELK Magic Module, ELK-MM443). Then move the ESM1 to various AC receptacles located around the house to verify the signal.
The ESM1 listens to your power line, and displays signal strength of any activity at the X-10 frequency. It also measures and displays any signal between 100mV and 5 volts (The maximum specified X-10 signal strength). The bar graph LED readout shows signal strength level, while the “X-10 Good” light indicates whether valid X-10 traffic is being received. The ESM1 is the best value choice for test tools.
