I have an RFU working in conjunction with an X10+v2 that is currently bound to one of my transmitters.  This RFU and X10 setup works perfectly to operate the controls.

I wanted to bind the RFU to a different transmitter by following this procedure:

1. Power on the RFU by powering up the X10+v2 to which it is currently connected
2. Observe flashing red LED
3. Press the button until the LED turns solid green

With the button pressed, the RFU's LED just kept flashing red and never went into binding mode.  I tried several times, even holding it for as long as ten seconds - no change from flashing to green.

Could the push button have gone bad?

Note that that the RFU is currently configured with its failsafe OFF and is talking Xtreme Fast to the X10+v2. 

I tried again after disconnecting the RFU from the X10 and applied power directly using a 4.8v battery.  Same behavior - red flashing LED, but no change to green after pushing the button.

Please tell me if there is something I'm doing wrong, or if the RFU needs to be repaired.  Thank you,

Curiosity for a cold day.

In a new installation I want to use some lengths of the inner tubing from a nylon pushrod as guides for the tips of the RFU antenna.

Will that type of nylon reduce the range of the RFU?

How about a thin plastic coffee stirrer?

And, the small, thinly-spread amount of epoxy to glue the tubes to the wood.

thanks,

On the RFU's coax antenna leads, what is the minimum bend radius that will not cause any reduction in signal strength?

I understand that the bare tip must be kept straight, and that the angled antennas must be at least two inches apart.

Thanks,
