XTB KIT
Assembled XTB-IIR Kit (see note below)
The XTB, XTB-IIR, and XTBM are Do-It-Yourself projects being offered as a bare printed circuit board, or a complete parts kit. More information is available on the XTB Home Page. Please refer to the corresponding XTB, XTB-IIR, or XTBM Assembly Notes before ordering the kit. Assembly should only be attempted by someone skilled at soldering high-density printed circuit boards.
An assembly service is available for those who do not want to assemble the unit by themselves. Since I didn't have the resources necessary to obtain UL approval for the XTB, a signed Liability Waiver is required for the pre-assembled XTB, XTBR, and any version of the XTB-IIR. The waiver contains enough legalese to make your head spin, but it is summarized pretty well at the bottom. A unit will be custom assembled and tested for you upon receipt of a signed waiver. You can either send it to the indicated address, or email me a scanned copy in a printable electronic format.
Please check the X10 and Leviton electrical items we also have available, including the plug-in X10 XPPF filter at 50% off the X10 price. Free shipping in the USA when ordered with an assembled XTB or XTB-IIR.

AVAILABILITY:
The XTB-IIR has superceded the XTB-II. A single-output 240V 50Hz version of the XTB-IIR is available for international applications. Both the 240V 50Hz kit and assembled units are now available in RoHS compliant versions. Be aware that the customs form will show the actual cost of the unit, and you may be responsible for an additional duty charge. A triple-output XTB-III for 3-phase "Y" distribution systems is also available.
Kits will usually ship the next day. Assembled units are usually shipped within 5 days, but it may take longer during heavy demand. I will try to have all orders received by Wednesday ready for shipping on the following Monday. While I do keep an inventory of parts on hand, there have been delays when my suppliers backordered critical components. I will place a notice here if the delay will be more than two weeks.
NOTE: All components are back in stock.
PRICING:
These units are not assembled in China. Kits are priced at the single-quantity component prices, plus enough to cover kitting expenses and various fees. All kits with a microcontroller include $10 to compensate for the hundreds of hours that have gone into firmware development. Assembly charges reflect the time it takes to assemble and test the units. A quote from an assembly service was $90 each for the XTB-IIR at 40 units, so this is still a bargain. The PCBs and custom components are available separately for those of you who can supply your own components.
The XTB, XTBR, XTB-IIR, and XTBM are DIY projects, and are not commercial devices with UL approval.

SHIPPING:
Shipping rates have gone up again. I absorbed the last one, but this time some of my shipping charges have been increased. Priority Mail is used inside the US with a flat-rate charge based on weight (see prices above). Note: When more than one device is ordered in the US, the shipping charge will be $12 for the entire order. First Class Mail is the most cost effective way to ship to Canada. No tracking is available, but all shipments have been delivered promptly. Because First Class cannot be processed on-line, a fee is added for the special Post Office run. All other international shipments will go via Express Mail International, which does include in-route tracking.
