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.

The Security Console’s telephone dialer is
designed to conform to federal regulations, and
it can be connected to most telephone lines.
However , each telephone or telephone de vice
that is connected to the telephone line draws
power from the telephone line. This is referred
to as the device’s ringer equiv alence number , or
REN.
FCC Rules
, which are
If more than one telephone or other device is
connected to the same line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five, the
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: The console must not be connected to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key telephone systems
The console’s telephone dialer complies with
Part 68 of
provide the FCC registration number and the
REN to the local telephone company . Both
numbers are shown on the bottom of the
console.
The telephone portion of the Security Console
has been tested and found to comply with all
applicable UL and FCC standards.
In the unlikely event that the console causes
problems on the telephone line, the telephone
company can disconnect service. The
telephone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If adv ance 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
the owner of these changes in advance, so the
necessary steps can be taken to prevent
interruption of telephone service.

Introduction
Installation
The X10 Supervised Security System is built around a Security Console with an
automatic dialer that calls neighbors or friends in the event of a break in. Battery
powered RF Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors are used to trigger the alarm,
with RF Handheld and Keychain Remote controls for ar ming and disarming. All sensors
and remotes incorporate random digital security coding.
The system may be configured with any combination of the following items:
• Up to 16* Keychain Remotes with arm/disarm/panic and secur ity light functions.
• Up to 16* Handheld Security Remote with arm/disarm and panic functions, and
buttons to control the security light and up to four additional X10 automation modules
to operate lights and appliances around the home.
• Up to 16* magnetic switch operated wireless Door/Window Sensors.
• Up to 16* wireless PIR Motion Detectors.
™
• Remote PowerHorn
• Additional X10 automation modules such as plug-in lamp and appliance modules and
wired-in replacement wall switches.
This manual describes the installation process for the security elements of the system,
and does not cover the additional X10 automation modules which are supplied with their
own installation instructions.
Note: Remotes may be added in any combination up to a total of 16. Door/Window

Locating the Security Console
Choose a location for the Security Console which is as central as possible in the house,
while providing access to a modular telephone jack and an AC outlet. The console may
be placed on a shelf or table, or may be fixed to a wall using the optional mounting
bracket and screws.
Locating Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors
Plan the location of the Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors so that the RF path
which runs in a straight line from sensor to console is not obstructed by large metal
objects such as a refrigerators or freezers, and passes through as few walls as possible.
Door/Window Sensors may be hidden behind drapes for a more discreet installation.

Mounting the console
The Security Console is designed to be installed freestanding on a table top or shelf. A
wall mounting bracket is also available.
Fitting the backup battery
Slide off the battery compartment cover and clip a 9V battery onto the battery contacts.
Slide the battery into the battery compartment and replace the cover. When AC power is
applied the battery LED on the front panel will go out. It is not necessary to disconnect
power to the console when fitting or replacing batteries.
Attaching cables
A telephone cord terminated at each end in an RJ11 connector is provided for telephone
connection. If possible, the console should be connected to its own telephone line to
ensure that the line cannot be busy when the console attempts to dial out. For
applications where this is not practical, the console may also share a line with an existing
telephone using a ‘T’ adapter.
Note: The X10 Security Console is not designed to operate with an RJ31X type
telephone connection.
