ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE CONTROL

4. Electrical Appliance Control

Control Options and Pushbuttons

The system allows manual or automatic remote
control of up to 15 electrical devices (lights, radio/TV,
tape recorders, fans etc.). This requires an optional
X-10 controller and up to 15 remote X-10 units (see
Fig. 2). ON / OFF control codes are communicated
via the regular household electrical wiring.
Besides the X-10 units (numbered 1 to 15), it is
possible to control a device connected to the PGM
output (unit # 00).
The user defines the ON and OFF times via the
Scheduler (see Chapter 7 - Scheduler Function). The
installer determines which zone sensors will switch the
remote controlled appliances on and off. However, the
decision whether the remote controlled appliances
will respond as programmed is up to you (see next
table).
Note: The X-10 output operates on the entire alarm
system and not per partition.
Key Function
Manual activation of lights or other
household electrical appliances.
Manual deactivation of lighting or other
household electrical appliances.
Selecting the active automatic control
method:
Sensors: Appliances are controlled by
sensors (assigned by the installer for
this).
Timer: Appliances are controlled by
timer (ON and OFF times are defined
by the installer).
Both: Appliances are controlled by
sensors as well as by a timer.
Examples of benefits gained by automatic remote
control:
•
Timer Control. When you are away, the timed
activation / de-activation of lights, radio and TV
simulates the presence of people at home, to
deter potential burglars.
•
Zone Control. Upon disturbance of a perimeter
zone, lights are switched on and a tape recorder
starts running, playing back a series of dog
barks.
Note: Automatic activation and deactivation of electrical
appliances depend also on the Scheduler setup (see
Chapter 7 - Scheduler Function).
