Introduction Installation

The X10 Supervised Security System Console with automatic dialer calls neighbors or friends in the event of a break in. Battery powered Wireless Door/Window Sensors trigger the alarm when a door or window is opened. A battery powered RF Motion Detector protects an indoor area. The Keychain Remote Control is used for arming and disarming the system. It can also turn lights on and off (requires X10 Modules). All sensors and remotes incorporate random digital security coding.

The system may be conﬁ gured with any combination of the following items:

• Up to 16 Keychain Security Remotes with arm/disarm and panic functions, and buttons to control security lights in and around the home.

• Up to 30* magnetic switch operated Wireless Door/Window Sensors.

• Up to 30* Wireless Motion Detectors.

• Additional X10 Home Automation modules such as plug-in Lamp and Appliance Modules and wired-in replacement Wall Switch Modules can be added to the system to ﬂ ash lights on and off when the alarm trips.

*Note: Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors may be added in any combination up to a total of 30, e.g., 15 Door/Window Sensors and 15 Motion Detectors, or any combination up to a total of 30. There are also 2 hard wired inputs, which are zones 31 and 32.

Locating Security System components

Locating the Security Console

Dining Room

Hallway

Living Room

Kitchen

Study

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 wall mounted.

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.

Security Console

Attaching cables

A telephone cord terminated at each end with 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 (supplied).

Note: The Security Console is not designed to operate with an RJ31X type telephone connection.

Attach the power supply’s cord here.

Attach the phone cord here.

Hard Wired Inputs.

Tamper Switch

Fitting the backup batteries

Open the battery compartment cover at the top right hand side of the Console and install 4 AA alkaline batteries (not supplied). It is not necessary to disconnect power to the Console when ﬁ tting or replacing batteries.

Turns on if batteries are low or not installed.

Mounting the Console

The Security Console is designed to be installed freestanding on a table top or shelf. Or it can be wall mounted using the two slotted holes on the back of the Console.

Open the lid on the Console and attach the power supply’s cord to the connector labeled power supply (see above). Plug the power supply into any convenient (unswitched) AC outlet.

NOTE: you must use the power supply that came with the Security System. The power supply contains circuitry required to control X10 Modules, so you CANNOT replace it with a regular 8V DC power supply.

If you don’t want to wall mount the console, you can insert the included rubber plugs into the two slotted mounting holes so as to tilt the console slightly forward for better viewing of the display.

Ideal location

Two doors or windows (requires accessory magnetic switch pair)

Sliding window

Remove shorting link

before installing hard wired magnetic contacts.

• Attach the Door/Window Sensor to the wall using the mounting screws provided.

• Fit the Door/Window Sensor as high as possible at the top of the door/window.

• Make sure the arrows on the magnetic and the Door/Window Sensor are facing each other and that they separate cleanly when the door or window is opened.

• To protect two doors or windows close to each other, use the Door/Window Sensor with an additional set of magnetic switch contacts as shown in the diagrams above.

• Set the DELAY slide switch (inside the Sensor) to MIN to always trigger the alarm instantly (for windows), or to MAX to trigger the alarm after a preset entry delay when the system is armed in the AWAY mode (for doors).

The numbers 1 – 32 in the display refer to up to 32 “zones.” These represent up to 30 Door/Window Sensors and/or Motion Detectors you install, plus the 2 hard wired zones. The numbers show open zones, problem zones and bypassed zones by being displayed as steady on (door or window open), slow ﬂ ash (there’s a problem with that zone) or fast ﬂ ash (that zone has been bypassed). Attempting to arm with an open or problem zone makes the Console beep continuously and it will display in words on the display what the cause is, but only for one zone at a time. Bypassing that zone (by pressing the Clear button) moves on to the next problem zone, if there is one.

Note when you add a magnetic switch to a sensor you can register it with the console as its own zone, e.g., the sensor itself can be zone 1 and the extra magnet zone 2. See previous page.
