Converting a RR501 X10 RF Transceiver to 220v

Page history last edited by cat 13 years ago

Although there are several resources on the web (1, 2, 3, 4) on how to convert a RR501 transceiver from 110v to 220v I recently (mid 2010) bought a new one that had an updated circuit. As shown on the following pictures the board says 10432I on the case says 07J40.

 

 

 

Using Ido Bartana's guide as a base and these general tutorials on 220v module modification (1, 2) I ended with this set of steps

  • Change the large blue, (C28) from 1uF/250V to 470nf/400V
  • Change the smaller blue, (C29) located close to the output connector, from 0.22uF/250V to 0.1uF/400V
  • Change the 130V MOV in parallel with the input to 250V RMS
  • Change the 130V MOV in series with the relay to 250V RMS
  • Add a 100 Ohm/1W resistor in series with the 110v cam relay coil

 

The mod mentioned above only lasted a coupe of months. Here is the 2nd attempt I did with a new module

 

  • Change the large blue, (C28) from 1uF/250V to 470nf/400v
  • Change the smaller blue, (C29) located close to the output connector, from 0.22uF/250V to 0.1uF/400V
  • Change the 130V MOV (R47) in parallel with the input to 250V RMS
  • Change the 130V MOV (R48) in series with the relay to 250V RMS
  • Change the 220k 1/4W resistor (R21) going to the output connector, to 470k 1/2W
  • Add a 100 Ohm/1W resistor in series with the 110v cam relay coil

 

The result looks like this
