Overview

  • Ensures outstanding X10 reliability on 2-phase residential wiring systems
  • Built-in test signal generator makes troubleshooting easier
  • Intellisense feature ensures top performance

Essential Info

Stop pulling your hair out trying to figure out why some X10 receivers don't respond to X10 transmitters. Resolve the problem AND make troubleshooting easier with a powerful amplified X10 coupler-repeater for 2-phase (split single phase) electrical systems that even sends and receives test signals! Just like other coupler-repeaters, this unit helps X10 signals cross the two separate 120V legs of power found in most homes. But this revolutionary unit goes a giant step further by offering signal and error LEDs, as well as a test button that generates an ON/OFF signal. These added features allow for easy signal strength verification at individual module locations with a signal strength indicator (sold separately).

What's Included

  • Leviton 2-Phase X10 Coupler-Repeater

  • More Info


    This X10 coupler-repeater is similar to a non-amplified signal bridge, but with the added ability to regenerate an X10 signal and blast it out both legs of electricity simultaneously. Provided there is at least 100mV of incoming signal, the unit will boost the outgoing signal to 5-7 volts across, depending on the impedance of the home. An LED will blink when X10 signals are detected and repeated to let you know it's operational. Plus, Leviton's exclusive Intellisense™ (gated automatic gain control) feature helps ensure top performance even when noise is present on the AC line.


    The module should be installed at the main panel where electrical service enters the home. You will need two dedicated 15-amp circuit breakers (available at a home improvement center).

    Is this something you can install yourself? Absolutely! If you've ever replaced a broken circuit breaker, then you have the experience to install it. It can also be installed by an electrician, typically taking no more than an hour of labor time to mount and wire it.

    Note: Not for use with 3-phase systems commonly found in commercial buildings, apartments and condominiums. Use the X10 Signal Amplifier/Repeater or HomePro Amplified X10 Coupler Repeater with Repeated Signal Detection for these systems.

    the price was high, but I guess it's hard to argue supply & demand since you're the only one's that still carry it. Arrived promptly and worked like a charm
    RICHARD -- clarksburg, CA   3/5/2012
    I've used these before. They make X-10s work!
    DANIEL -- prescott valley, AZ   2/11/2012
    I had installed one of these a few years ago and it solved all of my X-10 communication issues. My X-10 controller is plugged into a duplex in the den (not the one with the computer power surge protector of course). We have many X-10 light switches and lamp controllers on both phases. A lighting storm apparently took out the former HCA02-10E, so I purchased am X-10 Pro XPCR phase coupler. It did not solve the problem. I then purchased two HCA02-10E units, so I would have a spare, and now everything is back to normal.
    JOSEPH -- cranford, NJ   1/12/2012
    Works Just the way it is suppose to. In combination with the X10 PAT01 X10 Signal Converter and 16 Device RF Base all my coverage issues are solved.
    DAVID -- fairport, NY   11/17/2011
    Without this coupler-repeater, there were parts of our house that X-10 signals wouldn't reliably reach. I tried coupling the phases with disc capacitors, which improved the situation marginally. Once I installed this device X-10 worked reliably through out the house. That was 3 years ago. But, unfortunately, that unit recently failed (that is why I rated this 4(* - not 5*)so I purchased a new identical unit from Smarthome. Note: I had an interesting problem with the original installation of the coupler-repeater: My X-10 sent out signals to two different devices at 11 pm. One of the devices wouldn't shut off. It turns out that my controller was sending out the 2nd "off" signal while the repeater was sending out the first - CONFLICT! Problem was simply resolved once I advanced the first "off" in my controller program.
    DOUG -- highlands ranch, CO   7/17/2011
    This is the 2nd phase bridge I have purchased from you--installed by an electrician, and it does not solve the problem. Would lile to return the item. Any solutions so that bath phases can see my controller????
    PAUL -- avoca, WI   1/28/2011
    Easy to install and does exactly what it claims. It solved my problem with "lost" X-10 commands.
    ED -- fairfax, VA   1/16/2011
    Not perfect.
    JOHN -- fall river, MA   1/3/2011
    Does not work with X10. I troubleshot this for over a week and couldn't get it to work. I bought this because the XPCR was out of stock. When I received my backordered XPCR swapped out the the device. Once the XPCR was turned on my house became alive. I would not recommend the Levition HCA02-10E for use with X10 systems.
    TRACY -- houston, TX   12/19/2010
    Did exactly what it was supposed to. Had two separate buildings on two different kWh meters fed from the same transformer. Put transmitter in one building, switch to be controlled in second bldg. Wouldn't work. Bought this, installed it in 2nd bldg panel, end of problem!
    ROB -- chagrin falls, OH   10/3/2010
    The Leviton HCA02 helped me finally get to the bottom of a noise problem that I was unable to find. Now back on line and no issues.
    JERRY -- anthem, AZ   9/3/2010
    Installation was a bit scarey at first (Fear of the unknown). Looking back it could not have been easier. I can now communicate with my entire house and signal is cleaner. The purchasing process was smooth. I will be buying many more items from your organization.
    BARRY -- new wilmington, PA   8/23/2010
    I should have added this a long time ago, everything works. Very hard to find a box to mount it in though.Still needed a few filterlinc's but my system is working better than ever.
    STEVEN -- ellicott city, MD   5/18/2010
    Works as advertised; ALL X-10 devices are now extremely reliable after years of hit or miss performance. Installation was slightly problematic as it doesn't really fit into any standard gang box. I ended up installing inside breaker panel with some adhesive & velcro.
    JOHN -- pasadena, MD   1/26/2010
    Product worked perfectly. Easy to use, easy to install, exactly as advertised. Very well done!
    DENNIS -- souderton, PA   1/17/2010
    Works well but the size is troublesome to mount. Does not fit in most 3-gang switch boxes, contrary to what is shown in the installation photo. There are also no mounting tabs. Manufacturer should make this just slightly smaller, not reason it needs to be this big. I found that a metal Hubbell #686 3-Gang 2.5" Deep Switch Box does work but it was hard to find (try Lowes or online).
    CHARLES JULIUS -- houston, TX   1/5/2010
    Got the device in and installed and it works. what more could you ask for.
    PAI-LUM WHITE -- thornton, CO   12/22/2009
    Helped considerably with my problem. Did exactly what I hoped it would.
    DON -- mansfield, PA   12/13/2009
    Intallation wasn't too bad. No velco in the package to attach the coupler inside the box. Also the instructions are not clear that it should be mounted in a separate box. It took some testing to get it to work correctly. The status indicators help a lot.
    TED -- shingle springs, CA   11/26/2009
    dosent seem to work, only one side of the 220 line works
