Leviton HCC4D-1TW controller does not work with RadioShack Lamp Module 61-3002

The Leviton HCC4D-1TW controller does not seem to work at all with RadioShack Lamp Module (RadioShack Model #61-3002). Has anybody experienced the same and what can be done about it? Does Leviton offer a fixed version of this controller?



Also, this Leviton controller sometimes fails to transmit the signal to Leviton receivers even when other (non Leviton) controllers connected to exactly the same physical wire work fine. This looks like happening when there is some noise on the power line, but the Leviton HCC4D-1TW controller seems to work less robustly than others. Does anybody have similar experience?



Thank you, Jiri Kripac

The HCCxD-1TW series of transmitters does not send out a "proper" x10 command. Leviton has shortened the 3 cycle gap between the address transmission (A1) and the command transmission (A On). MOST of their receivers can respond to this type of command, but regular x10 receivers that adhere to the x10 standard will not work.

A new version of this series of transmitter is in the works from Leviton.

Thanks a lot for the explanation. I called Leviton tech support and they said they have a new model HXC4D-1TW that works correctly. It is unbelievable that Leviton could ever release such an obviously defective product. Do they have any QA?
