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

CONSOLE
ZONE INDICATORS

The Console displays the status of the
first eight zones. These indicators can
display four states, as follows:

-

Steady on

door or window is open.

Steady off

door or window is closed.

Slow Flashing

lar Door/Window Sensor is reporting a
problem.

Fast Flashing

lar Door/Window Sensor reported a
problem and the fault was bypassed,
or the door/window is open and has
been bypassed.

All

Door/Window
Detectors report in to the Console
about every 90 minutes. If the Console
does not receive a signal from the sen­sor within 4 hours, it reports a prob­lem with that sensor by slowly flash­ing the appropriate zone indicator. If
you try to arm the system while a zone

indicator is flashing, the Console
sounds a repetitive trouble alarm. Ei­ther press

ARMING AND DISARMING
THE SYSTEM

When you arm the system in the RUN

1 or RUN 2 mode, and open a door or

window, the following happens:

l A loud (95 decibel) siren sounds

for 4 minutes.

l

Lights connected to Lamp Modules
and Wall Switch Modules (set to
the same Housecode as the Con­sole) flash on and off.

l

The automatic dialer dials the first
phone number stored and plays
back your message.

When armed, RUN 1 and RUN 2
modes are the same, opening a door or
window trips the alarm. When the sys­tem is in RUN 2 mode and not armed,
the Console sounds a pleasant chime
when you open a door or window. In
RUN 1 there are no chimes.

TESTING THE DIALER

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

Once you have installed the Sensors
and Remote Controls, and entered the
phone numbers and the voice mes­sage, the Console is ready to use.

To test the voice message:

First test the message without connect­ing the Console to the phone line. Dis­connect it if it’s already connected.

Set Console to RUN. The Console
plays back your message through the
plug-in earphone and the RECORD
light stays on for 15 seconds. To hear
the message again, set the Console to
INSTALL, then back to RUN. Unplug
the earphone when finished.

You must test the dialer for
each phone number stored:

Make sure the phone numbers have
been entered into the Console as per
the instructions on page

Make sure Console is connected to the
phone line.

Call your friend or neighbor to let
them know you are going to test the
system.

Place the Console in the RUN mode.
Press [ARM] on the Remote Control.

Open an armed door or window or trip
a Motion Detector. The Console
sounds its alarm,
and calls the first phone number.

Shortly after it
Console starts to play its message so if

the message. However, the Console

per-

son will always hear the complete
message. If the phone hasn’t been an­swered by the time the Console has
played the message three times, or if
the call is answered by an
machine and the Console therefore
doesn’t receive a touch-tone response,
the Console dials the next number
stored (up to 4 phone numbers).

The message should include a state­ment asking the listener to press 0 on
their touch-tone phone. If the listener
presses 0, the sounder stops and they
will be able to listen-in (for 75 sec­onds). To test this, you can speak, then
call them back to ask them what you
said. Note, you should wait 75 sec­onds before calling them because the
Console keeps the phone line tied up
for this period of time. (Or you can un­plug the Console from the phone line
before
ber to reconnect after).

75 seconds after the listener presses 0,
the sounder resumes and stops after 4
minutes unless you press [DISARM]
on the Remote Control to stop the
alarm and reset the Console.

Important: The Console can be set
to call out on either pulse or

tone phone systems but if the friend
or neighbor who you choose to ac­cept calls from your system does not
have touch-tone service
which can generate touch-tone
codes, they MUST purchase a
touch-tone “beeper.”

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

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

Your supervised security system is an example of superior design and craftsman­ship. The following suggestions will help you care for your security system so you
can enjoy it for years.

Handle your supervised security system gently and carefully.
Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and can
cause the unit to work improperly.

Wipe the supervised security system components with ‘a
dampened cloth occasionally to keep them clean. Do not use
harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to

clean the supervised security system.

Use and store the supervised security system only in normal
temperature environments. Extreme temperatures can shorten
the life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.

Modifying or tampering with your security system’s internal components can cause

a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty.

If the system does not arm:

l

Check that the selector switch on
the Console is in the RUN 1 or

RUN 2 position.

l

Check that the battery indicator on
the Remote Control turns on when
you press [ARM]. Replace the bat­tery and re-install the Remote Con­trol if necessary.

If

a zone indicator

flashes

slowly:

One of the sensors/motion detectors
has not reported in, in the past 4 hours.

Check that the battery in the sensor/
motion detector is good.

If you need to arm the system and
want to ignore a sensor/motion detec­tor which is not functioning:

1.

Press [ARM] on the Remote Con­trol. You hear a repetitive

trouble
alarm to alert you that there is a
problem.

2.

While the trouble alarm is sound­ing, press [BYPASS] on the Con­sole. The zone indicator flashes
rapidly.

Then press [ARM] on the Remote

Control. The problem zone is not
protected but all the other zones are
armed.

Note: If you Bypass an open window
and arm the system (as described
above) and then later close the win­dow, that zone will now arm and its
indicator will stop flashing.

If a zone indicator flashes rapidly:

You pressed the Bypass button to arm
the system while a sensor/motion de­tector was reporting a problem. Deter­mine the cause of the problem with the
sensor/motion detector to arm that
zone.

If you hear a repetitive trouble
alarm when you try to arm the sys­tem, and it does not arm:

Check the zone indicators. If a door or
window is open, its zone indictor is
on. If there is a problem with a Sensor
or Motion Detector, its zone indicator
flashes slowly. Either:

l

Press [DISARM]. Check that each

Door/Window Sensor is working
properly and that you have not left
a door or window open. Then arm

the system. Or:

l

While the trouble alarm is sound­ing, press [BYPASS] to over-ride
the problem zone (its zone indica­tor then flashes rapidly). Then arm
the system.

If the alarm trips when you enter
the house before you have time to
disarm it:

Arm the system in the delay mode.
To do this: Set the

If you do not hear a beep from the

Console when you press [ARM] to
install a Remote Control:

Check to see if you can arm the sys-

tem when the Console is in the RUN
mode. If you can, the Remote Control
is already installed and no further ac­tion is necessary. If not:

1. Check that the Console is set to the
INSTALL mode.

2. Press [CODE] on the Remote Con­trol with a pencil, then press

[ARM] again.

If you do not hear a beep from the
Console when you press [TEST] to
install a Door/Window Sensor or
Motion Detector:

If the battery indicator on the Con­sole is on.

Replace Console’s battery. A 9V alka­line battery provides approximately 12
hours of back-up. Replace battery at
least once a year.

If a zone indicator is off when a
door/window is open or on when a
door/window is closed.

Check position of N.0/N.C. switch
inside sensor’s battery compartment. It
should be set to N.C. for type of
switches

supplied.

There is a slight chance that your sys­tem might have received a signal from
a neighbor’s system. Remove the bat­tery from the sensor for that zone for
at least 4 hours. Then re-install the
sensor. To do this, press CODE with
the point of a pencil, then press TEST.

If you lose your Remote Control:

With the Console in the RUN mode,
check that it chimes when you press
[TEST]

on the sensor/motion detector.
If it does, the sensor/motion detector is
already installed and no further action
is necessary. If not:

1. Check that the Console is set to the
INSTALL mode.

2. Press [CODE] on the sensor/motion
detector with a pencil, then press
[TEST] again.

Note: Doing this when the sensor/
motion detector is already installed,
installs

it AGAIN into the next zone.

Re-install your complete system to
prevent someone else from using the
lost Remote Control.

If the system arms or disarms by
self:

A neighbor may have a compatible
system. Re-install the complete system
so that it chooses different RF codes.

If red light on remote control stays
on during installation:

ing:

This indicates that there has been an
intrusion. Also, if a zone indicator is
on, this indicates which zone was vio­lated. To turn the zone indicator off,
and stop the armed indicator from
flashing, press the

[LIGHT

ON] or

[LIGHT OFF] button on the remote
control. If a zone indicator is not on,
the violated zone will have been one
of the second eight zones. Press (BY­PASS] to see which zone

was

tripped.

If the POWERHORN does not trip

when the alarm trips:

Note: The POWERHORN will not

start to sound until the lights (connect­ed to Lamp Modules and
Modules) have flashed on and off
about 5 times.

INTERCOM SYSTEMS
Intercom systems which send voice

signals over existing electrical wiring
may interfere with the ability to con­trol modules from your supervised se-

curity system when the intercom is in

use. If the intercom system has its own
separate wiring it will not cause a
problem.
