Controls and Settings, cont.
This Unit switch
• Set to SENSOR to have the floodlights turn on when motion is detected.
• Set to DUSK to have the floodlights turn on at dusk and off at dawn.
House Code
• Set the House Code dial to match other X10 Modules that are to be controlled by the
Motion Monitor, and X10 Controllers you want to use to control the Motion Monitor.
Start Code
• This is the "Unit Code" for the Motion Monitor. The Motion Monitor floodlights can
be turned on and off from an X10 controller using this Unit Code.
The Start Code is also the number that is added to the slide switch numbers to set the
Unit Codes for other X10 Modules controlled by the Motion Monitor.
Note: When the floodlights are turned on using an X10 controller, they will stay on
until they are turned off again using an X10 controller.
Sensor switches
• These switches determine which other X10 Modules will be turned on when motion is
sensed. The number next to the switch (+1 to +4) is added to the Start Code to
determine the Unit Code for an X10 Module. (For example, if the Start Code is set to
3 and the Sensor Switch labeled 2 is set to IN, the module with unit code 5 and the
same House Code as the Motion Monitor will turn on when motion is detected).
I.E., Start code (3) plus In/Out switch (+2) = 5. Set the X10 Module inside the house
(having the same House Code) to unit 5 and when motion is detected, the X10
Module set to Unit Code 5 will also cycle with the floodlights.
Dusk switches
• These switches determine which other X10 Modules will be turned on at dusk and off
at dawn. The number next to the switch (+5 to +8) is added to the Start Code to
determine the Unit Code for an X10 Module. (For example, if the Start Code is set to
3 and the Sensor Switch labeled 6 is set to IN, the module with unit code 9 and the
same House Code as the Motion Monitor will turn on at dusk, and turn off at dawn).
Caution: To avoid the risk of fire or injury ensure that potentially hazardous
appliances such as portable heaters or fans will not be accidentally controlled by the
Motion Monitor. Choose controlled Unit Codes carefully.

ROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: Sometimes the Motion Monitor seems less sensitive than other times.
Solution: Observe the notes and diagrams on page 2, and note that the Motion
Monitor is most sensitive when you walk "across" its path. It is also less sensitive in
very hot conditions, i.e., in the summer. (The normal operating temperature range is
-4 deg. F. to +122 deg. F).
Problem: I want to have the lights on for a couple hours for a Barbecue, what do I do?
Solution: Using an X10 Controller, you can send an ON command corresponding to
the Motion Monitor's Start Code, and it will stay on until an OFF command is sent.
Problem: The floodlights are on constantly and will not turn off.
Solution: If turned on by a command from an X10 Controller, the Motion Monitor
stays on until turned off from and X10 Controller, if necessary send an Off command
to the Motion Monitor from an X10 controller, returning the Motion Monitor to
normal cycling mode.
Also, if the Motion Monitor is accidentally powered off (from a wall switch that
controls the power to it) while the floodlights are on, it will stay on when the power is
reapplied. After dark, (depending on the position of the dusk setting) trigger the
Motion Monitor by walking in front of it, then after the delay time you've set the
floodlights will turn off and return to normal operation.
Problem: The Motion Monitor sometimes doesn't control my X10 Module.
Solution: Check that the Module you're having trouble controlling is set to match the
appropriate Sensor or Dusk switch on the Motion Monitor, and that the appropriate
Sensor or Dusk switch is set to IN.
Check that the Module's House Code matches the one set on the Motion Monitor.
Try the Module in different outlets. If that doesn't help, please visit:
