FEATURES

You can install the Radio Shack Central 5000 Monitored Wireless Security Alarm System anywhere in your home using existing wiring. The system uses radio frequencies, so it does not need more wiring. It includes a handheld remote, a keychain remote, two door/ window sensor transmitters, a motion detector, and a lamp module so you can immediately use the system. The console monitors up to 16 sensor transmitters (with additional remote sensor transmitters) and sounds its built-in alarm and calls ORCA Monitoring Services when a violation occurs.

Here are the system’s features.

Two Door/Window Sensor Transmitters — trigger the console’s built-in alarm when a secured door or window opens (additional sensor transmitters, Cat. No. 49-2585).

Handheld Remote — lets you control the system plus lights and appliances connected to Plug ´n Power modules (additional handheld remotes, Cat. No. 49-2591T).

Keychain Remote — lets you arm/disarm the system and control lights and appliances (additional keychain remotes, Cat. No. 49-2591).

Lamp Module — lets you turn on/off a lamp using a remote control. The lamp

also flashes during an alarm (additional lamp modules, Cat. No. 61-2682).

Motion Detector — protects an area an intruder might enter (additional motion detectors, Cat. No. 49-2589).

Plug ´n Power Compatible Design — lets you add a total of 16 door/window sensor transmitters, lamp modules, motion detectors, and other accessories to customize your system.

Supervised Operation — keeps track of each door/window sensor transmitter’s status and alerts you if there is a problem (such as an intrusion or a low battery).

ORCA-Monitored Security — means you get 24-hour monitoring to alert the police, neighbors, or you at work if the system detects an unauthorized entry.

Auto Timer—gives your home a livedin look when you are away by turning on one module and randomly turning on and off up to three other modules from dusk until about 11:30 PM (requires additional modules).

Important: In some areas, you must get a permit for monitored alarm service. We recommend that you contact your local law enforcement agency and inquire about local alarm permits.

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Your console’s telephone dialer is designed to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each telephone or telephone device that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the telephone line. We refer to this power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN. The REN is shown on the bottom of the console.

If you use more than one telephone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than five, your telephones might not ring. In rural areas, a total REN of three might impair ringer operation. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.

Note: You must not connect your console to:

Coin-operated systems

Party-line systems

Most electronic key telephone systems

Your console’s telephone dialer complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company. Both numbers are shown on the bottom of the console.

GLOSSARY

Here are a few terms that will be helpful to know as you read this manual.

Arm and Disarm — Terms for on and off. When you arm the system, you turn on protection. Disarming the system turns off protection.

Away Mode — Your system’s armed mode when all sensor transmitters (including motion detectors) are armed.

Console — The system’s main control panel.

Delay Mode —A way of arming the system so it delays sounding an alert if a door/window sensor transmitter set to DELAY reports an intrusion.

Door/Window Sensor Transmitter

— Triggers the alarm when a secured door or window is opened.

Entry/Exit Delay — A setting on the handheld remote control that allows you time while entering and exiting your house before the system arms or the alarm trips.

Home Mode — The system’s armed mode when only doors and windows are armed (not motion detectors). This prevents you from accidentally tripping the motion detector(s) as you move around the house.

Instant Mode — A way of arming the system so the alarm immediately trips if a door/window sensor transmitter set to INSTANT or the motion detector reports an intrusion.

Note: The keychain remote control only arms the system in the instant mode.

Motion Detector — Senses motion by detecting a change in temperature when someone walks across its path.

Remote Control — A device that lets you arm and disarm the system away from the console.

Violation — An alarm condition, such as that caused by an opened door or window, detected by a sensor transmitter.

Zone — The area protected by a door/ window sensor transmitter, a motion detector, or other sensing/transmitting device.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

After you set up your account with ORCA Monitoring Services, your system calls and reports alarms to ORCA Monitoring Services’ trained staff of security professionals. See “During an Alarm” on Page 26.

The system also automatically calls ORCA Monitoring Services about once per month to perform a routine checkin. This call is made between Midnight and 6 AM to avoid possible interference with other phone calls. If you lift the handset and hear strange tones, hang up and wait a few minutes for the call to end. If ORCA Monitoring Services does not receive a check-in within this time, they call you to let you know of a possible problem with the system.

ORCA Monitoring Services can also have the system blink the MONITOR indicator and sound a chirp. If you see this, call 1-800-FOR-ORCA to determine the problem.

Call ORCA Monitoring Services by lifting your phone’s handset and pressing MONITOR on the console or by dialing 1-800-FOR- ORCA (1-800-367-6722) from a telephone on the same line as your system.

During the call, ORCA Monitoring Services instructs you to press MONITOR on the system and then hang up the phone. They then program option settings (listed on Pages 8–9) into the system. The preferred settings work best for most situations. However, you can ask ORCA Monitoring Services to change these settings to make the system work best for you. (If you do not ask for changes, the preferred settings are used.)

Note: The system beeps when programming is complete. To avoid interrupting system programming, do not lift your telephone’s handset until you hear the beep.

SETTING UP MONITORED SERVICE

Important: Your system is not fully operational until ORCA Monitoring Services programs the system.

To set up service, you need to:

Fill out the enclosed monitoring agreement and mail or fax it to ORCA Monitoring Services.

Install the system.

After ORCA Monitoring Services programs your system, you can begin using it. However, they do not notify emergency services of an alert until they have received and responded to your monitoring agreement. Allow 24 hours for faxed requests and 5 days for mailed requests.

Note: Call 1-800-FOR-ORCA at least 5 days before you move to another address.

7

49-2570.fm Page 8 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 3:59 PM

Place a check mark next to any settings you want to discuss with ORCA, and refer to these settings when you call them to set up service.

o House Code

Preferred setting: House Code A

Can be any House Code (A-P). Your system can control all modules set to the same house code.

o Flashing Alert Unit Code

Preferred setting: Unit Code 16

Can be any Unit Code (1-16). A light connected to a module set to the same House and Unit Codes you select flashes when the alarm is tripped, and can be controlled by the SECURITY LIGHT buttons on the handheld remote. This light also turns on at dusk and turns off around 11:30 PM when the system is armed in the away mode.

o Silent Alarm

Preferred setting: Audible alarm

Can be set to only call ORCA Monitoring Services and not sound the siren at all. If you select silent alarm, you will hear no indication that the system has been tripped.

o Lived-In Look Unit Codes

Preferred setting: 2, 3, and 4

You can select any three Unit Codes. Modules set to the same House Code and the three Unit Codes you select turn on and off at random times after dusk when you arm the system in the away mode. This gives your home a lived-in appearance.

o Entry and Exit Delays

Preferred setting: 60-second exit delay; 30-second entry delay

Each can be set from 0 to 1000 seconds.

o Dial Delay

Preferred setting: 40 Seconds

Can be set from 0 to 1000 seconds. This sets how long the console waits after it has been tripped before it calls ORCA Monitoring Services.

PLANNING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM

Before you set up your system, draw a security plan of your home. This is especially important if you install sensor transmitters to protect several different zones.

If you live in an upstairs apartment, the front door might be the best place to mount a door/window sensor transmitter. If you live in a house or downstairs apartment, you might want to cover a back door or window.

Your security system has three goals:

To prevent loss by discouraging potential intruders.

To scare intruders away before they can take your property or break into your home.

To alert ORCA that someone is breaking into your home.

To help accomplish these goals, you should:

Post decals on doors and windows stating that your home is protected by a security system. Monitored Alarm decals are included with your system. Additional decals (Cat. No. 49-507) are available at your local Radio Shack store.

Choose a location for the console where it is not easily accessible or seen by intruders.

In addition, most police departments offer information that might be helpful. After making a preliminary plan, contact your local police department to see if they offer guidelines or other services for planning a home security system.

49-2570.fm Page 11 Wednesday, August 18, 1999 3:59 PM

ASSIGNING SECURITY ZONES

A security zone is an area of protection covered by a single door/window sensor transmitter, motion detector, or other sensing/transmitting device. Your security console monitors up to 16 zones and alerts you if there is a violation (see “Zone Indicators”).

When you initialize your security system’s sensor transmitters, the console assigns a zone number to the sensor transmitter (see “Initializing the Door/ Window Sensor Transmitters”). The kit includes numbered stickers you attach to each sensor transmitter to show its zone number.

For your reference, make a record of which area of your home a zone covers. For example, using the floorplan you drew, you could mark the front door as “Zone 1.”

REASSIGNING

SECURITY ZONES

If you want to remove one accessory, reassign an accessory to a zone currently in use, or add an accessory when all zones are assigned, you must completely reinitialize the system.

To reinitialize the system, set INSTALL/ RUN 1/RUN 2 to INSTALL. Then press PANIC, ARM HOME, and ARM AWAY on the console at the same time. Reinitialize all remote controls, door/window sensor transmitters, and motion detectors, assigning each accessory to the desired zone.
