Introduction

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
Living Room
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.
