INTRODUCTION

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

home.

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).

X-10

POWERHOUSE Compatible -

so you can add other Remote Controls
to the system or even add a timer to
make the home look lived-in while no­body is at home.

INSTALLING THE SYSTEM

LOCATING THE

SETTING UP THE

CONSOLE

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.

1.

Plug the

Console into an AC outlet
which is not controlled by a wall
switch.

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

it.

Fully extend the RF antenna
Plug the included phone cord into
the socket on back of Console and
plug the other end into an unused
telephone jack. If you don’t have an
unused jack use the included

"T"
adapter to plug the Console and
your telephone into the same jack.
Install a 9-volt alkaline battery in
the Console’s battery compartment.
Set the Console’s Unit Code dial to
the number of the module that you
want to turn on and off from

the

HT544,

KF574

or the “security” on
and off buttons on the SH624.
Set the Console’s Housecode dial to
the same letter as the modules you
want it to control.
Set the Console’s INSTALL/RUN
switch to INSTALL.

INSTALLING SENSORS

1.

3.

4.

5.

6.

Set the switch on the front of the
Door/Window Sensor to MIN if
you are using it to protect a win­dow or to MAX if you are using it
to protect a door.

Set the switch inside the Door/
Window Sensor’s battery compart­ment to the right - N.C. (Normally
Closed). The magnetic switch sup­plied with the sensor is the N.C.

type.
The, sensor and magnetic switch

supplied are

already

connected to­gether. If you need a longer wire,
use any suitable wire to connect the
magnetic switch to the Door/
Window Sensor’s two screw termi­nals.

Select a location for the Door/
Window Sensor. 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).

Mount the Door/Window Sensor
and the magnetic switch in the in­tended location using the supplied
screws or double sided tape.

Install the magnet using the sup-

plied screws or double sided tape.

Note: If you mount the magnetic
switches on metal doors or frames
you should ensure that they are no

more than

3/16"

apart. On wooden

surfaces they can be up to

3/8”

apart.

Do

not mount the magnet directly onto

a metal surface, use a wood or plastic

spacer.

7. Check for proper alignment by
opening the door or window. The

light on the sensor turns on each
time you open the door or win&w.

Repeat Steps 1 to 7 for any additional
sensors you wish to install (up to 16).

Typical mounting methods

0

0

First attach the sensor’s

back cover to the wall.

Then slide the sensor

onto the cover.

Windows

Note: For sliding windows it is best to
mount the magnet and switch at the

bottom of the window with the arrows

facing each other. This way the mag-

net

wiII

make a “clean break” from the

switch when the window is opened. If
you want to mount them on the side of
the window (so that the magnet “slides
past” the switch) you should offset
them slightly so that the arrows DO
NOT

line

up, as shown in the diagram

to the right.

To protect more than one door or
window

fkom

a single sensor

Use N.C. (Normally Closed) type
magnetic switches and Ioop them in
series from one door or window to the
next (using any suitable wire). Then
connect both ends of the loop to the
sensor. See below.

Note:

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 magnetic switch and
the Door/Window Sensor is cut, the
alarm

trips. If you want to connect
more than one magnetic switch to a
sensor you

will

need to connect them

in series (not in

parallel).

You can use Normally Open

(N.O.)

magnetic switches if you want to con-

nect them in parallel but the alarm will
not trip if someone cuts the wire be­tween the switch and the sensor.

SETTING UP AND USING MOTION DETECTORS

This procedure initializes each Motion
Detector so that the Console recogniz­es it. You install a Motion Detector

just like you install Door/Window

Sensors. Each Motion Detector will be
assigned to one of the 16 zones.

Press [CODE] on the back of the
Motion Detector with a pencil.

Press [TEST] on the back of the
Motion Detector. The Console’s
next unused zone indicator lights

and

the Console sounds a tone to
indicate that the receiver accepted
the Motion Detector.

Place one of the enclosed num­bered stickers on the Motion Detec­tor to show its zone number.

To set

should be

placed at a height of about 6 feet.
For best coverage it should be placed

so that an intruder

walks across

its

path rather than towards it.

SETTING UP REMOTE MODULES

SETTING UP
LAMP MODULES

When the alarm trips, lamps connect­ed to Lamp Modules (set to the same

Housecode as the Console) flash on
and off for the duration of the alarm.
After 4 minutes (or when you disarm
the alarm) the lamps stop flashing and
remain on.

If you arm the system to give an exit
delay, Lamp Modules set to the same

Housecode and Unit Code as the Con-

sole turn on during the exit countdown

time. You can also control Lamp Mod-

ules set to this code from the [LIGHT

POWERHORN REMOTE SIREN

SETTING UP THE

POWERHORN

The

POWERHORN

Remote Powerline
siren responds to signals transmitted
by the Console (over house wiring).

When the

alarm

trips, the Console’s si-

ren sounds and lights flash. After the

lights have flashed on and off about 5
times, the POWERHORN trips. It
sounds for as long as the system is in
alarm and then shuts off about 10 sec­onds after the alarm

resets

or is dis-

armed.

Set Housecode and Unit Code dials

on POWERHORN to same

letter

and number as the Console.
Plug

POWERHORN

into a standard
AC outlet (not one controlled by a
wall switch).

WARNING: The

POWERHORN

is
extremely loud! Do not stand near it
when you trip the alarm. Prolonged
exposure to the 110 decibel output
could cause permanent hearing
damage.

USING THE SYSTEM

CONSOLE
ZONE INDICATORS

The Console displays the status of the

first eight zones. These indicators can

display four states, as follows:

Steady on

-

means that particular

door or window is open.

Steady off

-

means that particular

door or window is closed.

Slow Flashing

-

means that particu­lar Door/Window Sensor is reporting a
problem.

Fast Flashing

-

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

All

Door/Window

Sensors and Motion
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

[DISARM],

correct the

problem and press [ARM] again, or
press [BYPASS] while the trouble
alarm is sounding, then press [ARM].
The zone(s) with a problem will not be
armed and the zone indicator(s) will
flash rapidly. AI1 other zones

wilI

arm.

If you bypass an open window and
arm the system, and later close the
window, that zone will now be armed.

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.

Instant Mode

Note: The Key Chain Remote Control
(KF574) always arms the system in
the INSTANT mode.

1.2.If using the I-IT544 or SH624, set
its

Delay

switch to MIN.

Press [ARM]. The Console emits
two tones and the ARMED indica­tor turns on.

Open a door or window, the alarm
instantly trips, the siren sounds,
lights connected to Lamp and Wall
Switch Modules

(set

to the same
Housecode as the Console) flash on
and off, and the dialer dials out.

16

3. Press [DISARM] to stop the siren.
The lights remain on.

4. Press [LIGHT OFF] on the Remote
Control to turn off

lights

connected
to modules which you set to the
same Housecode and Unit Code as
the Console.

Delay Mode

(HT544 and SH624 only)

1. Set the Delay switch on the

HT544

or

SH624

Remote Control to MAX.

2. Press [ARM] on the Remote Con­trol. Lamps connected to modules

set to the same Housecode and Unit
Code as the Console turn on. The
Console chimes for approximately

1 minute while you leave the
house. You then hear a beep signi­fying that the system is armed, and
the lamp(s) turn off.

Open a door (that has its sensor set

to MAX).

The

Console gives a

pre-

alarm

beep,

and lamps connected to
modules set to the same Housecode
and Unit Code as the Console turn
on. After a delay of approximately
30 seconds the

alarm

sounds, lamps
connected to Lamp and Wall
Switch Modules (set to same
Housecode as the Console)

flash,

and the automatic

dialer dials

out.

3. Press

[DISARM]

to stop the siren.

The lights remain on.

Note: Delayed arm/alarm only

affects
sensors set to MAX. If you open a
window (with its sensor set to

MIN)
the alarm trips instantly even if the
system is armed for delayed alarm.

ARM HOME/ARM AWAY
(SH624 only)

The SH624 Remote Control lets you
arm the system with or without Mo­tion Detectors armed

If you press [ARM AWAY] on the

SH624 Remote Control, all Door/

Window Sensors AND Motion Detec-

tors will be armed.
If you press [ARM HOME] on the

SH624 Remote Control, ONLY Door/

Window Sensors

will

be armed. The

SP554A

Motion Detectors

will

not be

armed. This lets you arm the system at

night without accidentally tripping the
system yourself when you move
around the house.

Note: this feature requires the

SP554A

Motion Detector. It

wilI

not work with

the older

SP554.

If you use the older

SP554,

the [ARM HOME] button

wilI
work like the [ARM AWAY] button.
I.E. both the [ARM HOME] and
[ARM AWAY] buttons will arm
Door/Window Sensors AND

SP554

Motion Detectors.
If using the older

SP554

you can
choose to set it to MIN or MAX (with
or without entry/exit delay). If using
the newer

SP554A

it will always be in

the MIN (instant alarm) mode.
The

MIN/MAX

switch on the SH624
lets you set it to arm the system with
or without an exit/entry delay. When
set to MIN everything in the system
will

arm and trip instantly. When set

to MAX,

SP544s

(not

SP554As)

and

DW534s

set to MAX will have a 1

minute exit and a 30 sec. entry delay.

17

ARMING WITHOUT THE
REMOTE CONTROL

You can arm the system without using
a Remote Control by pressing the
ARM button on the Console. Arming
this way

will

ALWAYS arm the sys-

tem in the

Delay

Mode.

SOUNDING THE
PANIC ALARM

HT544 and KF574 Remote Controls

Pressing ARM and DISARM (at the
same time) trips the

alarm,

even if the
system is not armed, but it doesn’t dial
out unless you arm the system first.

SH624

Remote Control

Pressing (PANIC] trips the alarm,
even if the system is not armed, but it
doesn’t dial out unless you arm the
system

first.

TROUBLE ALARM

If you hear a repetitive trouble alarm
when you try to arm the system, there
is a problem and the system does not
arm. You can:

Correct the problem - First press

[DISARM]

to stop the trouble

alarm.

Then, correct the problem.

Then, arm the system again.
Ignore the problem - While the

trouble alarm

is sounding, press

[BYPASS]. The indicator(s) for the
problem zone(s) flash rapidly.
Press

[ARM]

to arm the system.
The problem zone(s) is/are not be
protected

but

all

other zones arm.

TO SEE THE STATUS
OF ZONES

9-16

If there is a problem with zones 9 -16,
you do not see a flashing zone

light
but will hear the trouble alarm if you
try to arm the system. Press and hold

[BYPASS]. This bypasses the problem
and lets you see which zone is report­ing the problem. If you do not want to
bypass the problem, correct the prob­lem then arm the system again.

AFTER AN ALARM

When you disarm the system after an
intrusion (or 4 minutes after the alarm
trips) the siren turns off and the lights
which were flashing remain on (to let
you know there has been an intrusion).
The ARMED indicator flashes and the
zone indicator for the violated zone is
on. Press LIGHT

ON]

or [LIGHT

OFF]

on the Remote Control to turn
off the zone indicator and the flashing
ARMED indicator. Press [LIGHT
OFF]

to turn off X-10 Modules set to
the same Housecode AND Unit Code
as the Console.

18

TESTING THE DIALER

Once you have installed the Sensors
and Remote Controls, and entered the
phone numbers and the voice mes-

sage, 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

15,

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,

flashes

house lights

and calls the first phone number.
Shortly after it

dials

the number, the
Console starts to play its message so if
the person it

calls

doesn’t answer
quickly, they may miss the first part of
the message. However, the Console
plays the message 3 times so the

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

answering
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

calling

them back, but remem-

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

touch­tone phone systems but if the friend
or neighbor who you choose to ac-

cept calls from your system does not

have touch-tone service

and a phone

which can generate touch-tone
codes, they MUST purchase a
touch-tone “beeper.”

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

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.

REPLACING BATTERIES

REMOTE CONTROL

DOOR/WINDOW SENSORS

For

HT544

use 9V alkaline battery.

For

KF574

use 6V Eveready

A544,

23-469,

or equivalent.

For

SH624

use four

AAA

alkaline bat-

teries.

If any of the Console’s zone indicators
flash slowly, the Door/Window Sensor
for that zone has not

reported

in dur-

ing the last 4 hours. This is most likely
caused by a dead battery in the Door/
Window Sensor.

After replacing batteries, the following

2. Press [ARM] on the Remote Con­trol. If the system arms, the Con­sole recognized the Remote Control

and no further action is necessary.

2.

Press

[TEST]

on the sensor. If the

Console chimes, it recognized the

sensor and no further action is nec-

essary.

If the system did not arm:

1,2.Place the INSTALL/RUN switch

on the Console to INSTALL.

If

you did not hear a chime when

you pressed [TEST]:

Press [ARM] on the Remote Con­trol. The Remote Control transmits

a random code to the Console. The
Console acknowledges this with a
beep and logs in the Remote Con-

trol. If you do not hear a beep,
press [CODE] with a pencil and
then press

[ARM].

1. Place the INSTALL/RUN switch
on the Console to INSTALL.

RTS04

The RT504 uses four AAA alkaline
batteries but it does not require any in­stallation. Just set its Housecode dial
to match the Console and it’s ready to

use.

2. Press

[TEST].

The Door/Window
Sensor transmits a code to the Con­sole. The Console acknowledges
this with a beep and logs in the
code.

The Door/Window Sensor

will

nor­mally be logged into the SAME zone
number as it was before you replaced
the battery. However, if you replace
the battery in the Door/Window Sen­sor when its zone light was NOT
flashing, the Door/Window Sensor is
logged into the next sequential zone
(instead of the same zone as it was).

To avoid this, remove the old battery
and wait at least 4 hours before

install-

27

ing the new battery. This ensures that
the sensor is logged into its original
zone number.

MOTION DETECTORS

If any of the Console’s zone indicators
flash slowly, the Motion Detector for
that zone has not reported in during
the last 4 hours. This is most likely

caused by a dead battery in the Motion

Detector.
After replacing the battery in the Mo-

tion Detector, the following steps are
necessary to determine that the Con­sole still recognizes the Motion Detec­tor.

1. Place the

INSTALL/RUN

switch

on the Console to RUN 2.

2. Press [TEST] on the Motion Detector
tor.

If the Console chimes, it recog­nized the Motion Detector and no
further action is necessary.

If you did not hear a chime when
you pressed [TEST):

1.

Place the

INSTALL/RUN

switch

on the Console to INSTALL.

2.

Press [TEST] on the Motion Detec­tor.

The Motion Detector transmits

a code to the Console. The Console
acknowledges this with a beep and
logs in the code.

CONSOLE

If you unplug the Console and replace
the battery, you lose all memory of the
installed Door/Window Sensors, Mo­tion Detectors and Remote Controls.

You then have to set the INSTALL/

RUN switch on the Console to IN-

STALL and reinstall all the Door/
Window Sensors, Motion Detectors
and Remote Controls.

To avoid this, replace the battery

with
out unplugging the Console. You do
not lose any stored codes and do not
have to re-install your system.

A

9V

alkaline

battery will provide at
least 12 hours of back-up. You should
replace the battery at least once a year.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

2.

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

trouble
alarm to alert you that there is a
problem.

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

MIN/MAX

switch

on the entry door sensor to MAX. Set

the

MIN/MAX

switch on the Remote

Control to MAX

(HT544

and SH624

only) and then, press [ARM].

If you cannot turn lights on or off

from the [Light On] or [Light

Off]

buttons on the Remote Control:

Be sure you set the Housecode and
Unit Code on the module(s) to the
same letter and number as the

Console.

Be sure the light you are trying to
control has its on/off switch in the

on position. Be sure bulb is good.

Plug the

module into another outlet

near the Console.
Check that the battery indicator on

the Remote Control comes on when
you press a button. Replace the bat­tery and re-install the Remote Con­trol if necessary.

If you have more than one Console
(so you can store up to 8 different

phone numbers), be sure to set both

to the same Housecode and Unit
Code.

WARNING: You can only use two

Consoles if each one has its own sep­arate phone line and each one is set up
to call different phone numbers.

If you open a door or window and
the alarm does not trip:

Check that the system is armed.
Be sure the INSTALL/RUN switch

on the Console is in the RUN 1 or

RUN 2 position.
Check to see if the alarm trips

when you press

[TEST]

on the

Door/Window Sensor.
If the alarm does not trip when you

press

[TEST],

check that the indica­tor on the sensor comes on when
you press

[TEST].

If the indicator does not come on,
replace the battery and re-install the
sensor if necessary.

If the alarm trips from the [TEST]

button but does not trip when you
open the door or window:

Check that the magnet and switch
are properly aligned.

Check the connections to the mag­netic switch’s terminals.

Check that the switch inside the
battery compartment on the Door/
Window Sensor is set correctly
(N.O.

or N.C.) depending on which
type of magnetic switches you are
using

(N.C.

If you do not want this to happen, set
the Appliance Module(s) to a different
Housecode from the one you set on
the Console.

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 sys­tem 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:

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.

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 bat-

tery 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:

Re-install your complete system to

prevent someone else from using the

lost Remote Control.

If the system arms or disarms by

it-

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:

Press

[CODE] then press [ARM]. If it

still

stays on, remove the battery, wait
a few seconds, then replace the bat­tery. Press [CODE] then press [ARM]
again.

If red light on sensor/motion detec-

tor stays on during installation:

Press [CODE] then press [TEST]. If it
still

stays on, remove the battery, wait

a few seconds, then replace the bat-

tery. Press [CODE] then press

If the “ARMED” indicator is

flash-

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

Wall

Switch
Modules) have flashed on and off
about 5 times.

l

Be sure you set the Housecode on
the

POWERHORN

to the same let-

ter as the Console.

l

Plug the

POWERHORN

into anoth-

er outlet near the Console.

If the motion detector causes “false
alarms”:

l

All

brands of motion detectors
sense motion by detecting a change
in temperature, therefore do not

32

place the motion near any sources
of heat such as over an air condi­tioning or heating vent.

l

Do not place in a direct source of
bright light’ such as sunlight..

If the Console doesn’t dial out:

l

Check that you have programmed

in a phone number (see page 15).

If the Console doesn’t play back any
message when the phone is an-

swered:

o

Check that you have programmed

in a message (see page 15).

If the Motion Detectors arm when
you press ARM HOME on the
SH624 Remote Control.

l

Check that you are using the newer
version Motion Detector

(SP554A).

The

older

version

(SP554)

wilt not
work with the ARM HOME/ARM
AWAY feature of the

SH624.

If the Console appears to be

“locked-up”

If the BUSY light is on, you may

have just switched the Console
from INSTALL to RUN. The Con­sole will then play back the 15 sec­onds of

pre-recorded

message. If
you don’t have the earpiece con­nected you might think that the
Console is locked-up. Just wait for

15 seconds and the BUSY light will

go out’
If the BUSY light is not on but the

Console appears to be locked-up
you might have just tested the sys­tem. When the Console dials out,

and someone answers the phone
and presses any key, the Console is
put into the listen mode for 75 sec­onds. If you immediately call the
person back or if they call you,
your phone will be busy because

the Console remains in the listen

mode for 75 seconds, during which
time it keeps the phone line busy

and may

"appear"

to be locked up.
Just wait for 75 seconds and the
Console with be operational again
and the phone line will be free.

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.

Note 1:

The supervised security sys-

tem does NOT work with the

PR511

Outdoor Motion Detector. The

PR511

will control the same lights that the se-

curity system controls, but the

PR511

will NOT

trip

the alarm.

Note 2: The ARM button on the Con-

sole arms the system in the Delay
model only. Use the

HT544, KF574

or
SH624 Remote Control if you want to
arm the system in the instant

(MIN)

mode.
