INTRODUCTION

Smarthome.com, Inc. (800) SMART-HOME [phone] http://smarthome.com

The

PS561

Security Console is part of

a Supervised Security System and is

used with the following accessories,
(sold separately).

Hand-held Remote Controls and

Key-chain Remote Controls for
arming and disarming the system
and for controlling lights and appli­ances around the home.

Door/Window Sensors with mag­netic switch and magnet.

Passive Infrared Motion Detectors.
Lamp Modules for flashing house

lamps.
Wall Switch Modules for flashing

indoor and outdoor lights.
Remote 110-decibel siren.

You can add Door/Window Sensors to
protect up to 16 doors or windows, or
add a Motion Detector to protect an
area with more than one entry point.
When someone opens the door or win­dow, or enters a protected area, the
Console sounds its alarm and sends
signals over the house wiring to flash

lights connected to X-10 Modules It
can also trip an additional loud remote
siren. The Console dials up to 4 pre­programmed phone numbers and plays
back up to 15 seconds of pre-recorded
message (in your voice). The person
called can then listen in to your home
to determine the nature of the prob­lem.

You arm and disarm the system with
the Remote Control and you can add
up to a total of eight Remote Controls
which you can give to other family
members. You can also use the Re­mote Control to control lights and ap­pliances around the home.

Features

Wireless Installation - makes it easy
to quickly make a home secure.

Sixteen-Zone System - lets you pro­tect 16 different groups of doors and/
or windows in the home.

Remote Arm and Disarm - lets you
arm the system, turn on lights, or even
sound the alarm from anywhere in or
around the

Expandable Design - lets you add
more Door/Window Sensors and Mo­tion Detectors to expand the system’s
coverage.

Fully Supervised Operation - so the
system keeps track of the status of
each Door/Window Sensor.

Built-in Voice Dialer - Dials a friend

or neighbor for help and plays back a

stored message (in your voice).

INSTALLING THE SYSTEM

Smarthome.com, Inc. (800) SMART-HOME [phone] http://smarthome.com

LOCATING THE
CONSOLE

Select a location that is central to the
doors and windows you wish to pro­tect so that all Door/Window Sensors
and Motion Detectors are within range
of the Console. Later, when you are
familiar with the operation of the sys­tem you should test all the Sensors,
Motion Detectors, and Remote Con­trols from the locations you intend to
use them. Also, locate the Console
near a phone jack and where it can
easily be seen on a day to day basis so
that it will be noticed if any of the
zone indicators report a problem.

Caution: Do not place the Console
where a burglar can easily see
