READ THIS FIRST
This equipment generates and uses radio
frequency energy, and if not installed and used
properly, that is, in strict accordance with the
manufacturers instructions, may cause
interference to radio and television reception. It
has been type tested and found to comply with
the limits for remote control security devices in
accordance with the specifications in Sub-Parts
B and C of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by
unplugging the equipment, try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures.
• Reorient the antenna of the radio/TV
experiencing the interference.
• Relocate the console with respect to the
radio/TV.
• Move the console away from the radio/TV.
• Plug the console into an outlet on a different
electrical circuit from the radio/TV experiencing
the interference.
If necessary, consult your local X10 Dealer for
additional suggestions.
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.
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 one of the devices 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.
The telephone portion of your security console
has been tested and found to comply with all
applicable UL and FCC standards.
In the unlikely event that your console causes
problems on the telephone line, the telephone
company can disconnect your service. The
telephone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice is not practical, the
telephone company notifies you as soon as
possible and advises you of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.
Also, the telephone company can make changes
to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures
that could affect the operation of this console. The
telephone company notifies you of these changes
in advance, so you can take the necessary steps
to prevent interruption of your telephone service.
Note: The security functions of this system have
not been tested by Underwriters Laboratories.

SETTING UP THE CONSOLEINTRODUCTION
Your X10 Powerhouse Monitor Plus
Security System lets you feel secure.
The system includes a security console
with a digital communicator that
connects to a professional digital
monitoring station in the event of a break
in. The system includes two Door/
Window Sensors, a Motion Sensor, a
Lamp Module, and two Remote
Controls: one hand held, one keychain.
Features:
Quick Installation: The Monitor Plus
security system installation is a snap.
The system is easy to install and use.
Wireless Sensors: The Door/Window
Sensors, and Motion Sensor are
completely wireless and communicate
to the base console via radio frequency.
Built in Digital Communicator: Calls
the monitoring station in the event of a
break in.
Fully expandable: You can protect up
to 16 zones with your security system,
plus you can control lights and
appliances by Remote Control, to start
a complete home automation system.
Panic Alarm: Lets you sound the alarm
without calling the monitoring station.
Automatic lighting control: When the
Monitor Plus Security System is armed,
an automatic timer can be put into action
which turns lights, stereos, TVs, etc. on
and off at random times to make your
home look and sound lived in.
X10 Home Automation compatible:
Adding X10 Home Automation products
such as Lamp Modules, Appliance
Modules, and Wall Switches, etc., is
easy with this system, since it is already
configured to control the full range of
X10 Home Automation products.
Self checking, fully monitored
system: Every sensor installed is self-
checking, and if any fail to report in to
the base console at the correct time
interval, the sensor's zone indicator on
the alarm console flashes to alert you.
If you then try to arm the system, a
special warning tone is sounded, and
you must press a button to acknowledge
and bypass the warning before you can
complete the arming sequence.
Battery backed-up console: If the
power fails or is cut, the house lights
will, of course, stop working - but the
security system doesn't, with all
features including telephone dialing and
alarm siren still ready for action using
easy to replace AA alkaline backup
batteries in the console. An indicator on
the console warns you when the
batteries need changing.
Choosing a location for the
console
Living Room
Study
Before you select a location for the
Monitor Plus console, think of the areas
in your home where you would be most
likely to use the Remote Controls, Door/
Window Sensors, and Motion Sensors.
Select a location that is central to those
areas and that is within the console’s
range (up to 100 feet).
Dining Room
Hallway
Kitchen
Here are some other things to consider
when choosing the console’s location:
• It must be close to a modular
telephone jack so you can easily
connect the telephone dialer.
• The console’s loud alarm might
frighten you if you trip it while you are
next to it, so it is best to place the
console in a large open area (like a
living room). But, you should also
place it close to a window so
neighbors are more likely to hear the
alarm.

INSTALLATION
Mounting the Console
If desired, the Security Console can be wall mounted using the included mounting
bracket. Attach the mounting bracket to a standard electrical wall box, which you
can purchase at most hardware stores. Hooks on the bracket locate in slots at the
back of the console. A small screw is provided that can be used to prevent the unit
from being lifted off the hooks.
Slide the Console
onto the hooks on
the bracket and
attach the screw.
The power plug
on the back of
the Console will
protrude into the
wall box and you
can feed the
cables down
through the
Attach the mounting bracket to a

recesses in the
back of the
Console.
Or you can simply place the console on a flat surface and connect the telephone
cord and power supply as shown on the next page.
Warning: To reduce the risk of electric shock, never plug a telephone cord into a
telephone line jack until the other end of the cord is plugged into the telephone
device.
If you already have a phone plugged into the jack, use the included 'T' adapter to
plug the console and telephone into the same jack.
If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can:
• Update the wiring yourself. Most good electrical stores sell adapters to convert
older wiring methods to modular wiring.
• Have the telephone company update the wiring for you.
Note: The telephone company charges to install the necessary jacks.
The USOC number of the jacks to be installed is RJ11C (or RJ11W for a wall plate
installation).
You can use the console with either pulse or touch-tone phone systems.
Attaching cables
1. Plug one end of the supplied
telephone cord into the console and
the other end of the telephone cord
into a modular telephone jack.
2. Connect the power
supply to the
console and plug it
into an AC outlet
that is not controlled
by a wall switch.
Fitting backup batteries
Slide out the battery drawer from the bottom of the console and insert four AA
Alkaline batteries (sold separately). Refit the drawer making sure it is fully home in
the cabinet. When AC power is applied the battery LED on the front panel goes out.
It is not necessary to disconnect power from the console when fitting or replacing
batteries.

remote controls and eight security/home
automation remote controls or any other
combination for a total of sixteen.
Installing Door/Window
Sensors
We recommend that you purchase
enough sensors to protect the front and
back door and any windows that are
obscured from view or easily accessible
(including basement windows).
1. Mount the Door/Window Sensor and
the magnetic switch in the intended
location using the supplied screws
or double sided tape.
2. Install the magnet using the supplied
screws or double sided tape. The
arrows on the Door/Window Sensor
magnet and switch should be
aligned carefully so that they face
each other.
Note: The sensor and magnetic switch
supplied are already connected
together. If the wire is too long, you can
shorten it by cutting it to the length
required, stripping the ends and
reconnecting to the magnetic switch.
Initializing Door/Window
Sensors
This Procedure initializes the Door/
Window Sensors so that the Console
recognizes signals from the sensor.
1. Install two AA alkaline batteries in
the battery compartment (batteries
sold separately).
2. Set the INSTALL/RUN switch on the
console to INSTALL (located under
the flip up door).
3. Press TEST on the Door/Window
Sensor and hold for about a second.
Release the TEST button and the
LED blinks twice to confirm it has
been initialized.

4. Press TEST again. The Console's
next unused zone indicator lights
and the Console beeps to indicate
it has accepted the sensor.
Note: If you do not hear a tone,
remove the batteries from the
sensor and then hold down the
TEST button for 3 seconds. Refit the
batteries and install the sensor again
as described above.
5. Set the switch on the front of the
Door/Window Sensor to MIN if you
are using it to protect a window or
MAX if you are using it to protect a
door.
6. Place one of the enclosed numbered
stickers on the sensor to show its
zone number.
To set up additional sensors (up to 16)
repeat steps 1-6.
If you mount the magnetic switches on
metal doors or metal door frames you
should ensure that they are no more
then 3/16" apart. On wooden surfaces
they can be up to 3/8" apart.
Testing Door/Window
Sensors
To test a Door/Window Sensor:
1. Set the INSTALL/RUN switch on the
console to RUN2 (located under the
flip-up door).
2. Open the door or window. The light
on the sensor blinks, the console
chimes and the zone light for the
sensor lights.
If the light on the sensor does not blink
and the console doesn't chime, check
that the Door/Window Sensor magnet
and switch are correctly aligned with the
arrows facing each other.
Typical Door/Window Sensor
mounting methods
For sliding windows, however, it is best
to mount the magnet and switch at the
bottom of the window with the arrows
facing each other. This way the magnets
will make a "clean break" from the switch
when the window is opened.
Note: You can use any standard N.C.
type magnet switches. N.C. means
Normally Closed. This type of magnetic
switch is supplied with the sensors.
These switches are normally closed
when the door or window is closed, and
open when the magnet is moved away.
This type of magnetic switch is used so
that if the wire between the switch and
the Door/Window Sensor is cut, the
alarm trips (tamper proof).
If you want to connect more than one
magnetic switch to a sensor you must
connect them in series (not in parallel).
You cannot use N.O. (Normally Open)
magnetic switches with this sensor.
Do not mount the magnet directly onto
a metal surface, use a wood or plastic
spacer.
DOOR/WINDOW SENSOR
The ideal location for the Door/Window
Sensor is high at the top of a window.
You can protect more than one door or
window from a single sensor by
installing additional magnetic switches.
Loop the switches in series from one
door or window to the next (using any
suitable wire).
