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 mag-

netic 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 pre-

programmed 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 prob-

lem.

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.
The switch on the bottom of the
Console is set for tone, if you don’t
have touch-tone service, set it to

pulse. (See note below).

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 mag­net

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.
