Monitoring Service Setup

Introduction

Digital monitoring
The X-10 PRO2000 Security System incorporates professional digital communicator
technology. Features supported include account number downloading and verification,
remote configuration and alarm type confirmation, and line seizure.
When one of the sensors is activated while the system is armed, the built-in siren will sound.
If the alarm is not disarmed within the next few seconds using one of the security coded
remote controls, the security system console will automatically dial the monitoring station
and send a digitally coded message allowing the station operator to identify the owner's
address, telephone number and the type of alarm that occurred.
Automatic lighting control
When the X-10 PRO2000 Security System is armed in the away mode, an automatic
timer can be activated to turn lights, stereos, TVs, etc. on and off at random times to
make the home look lived in.
Part of the information downloaded to the console includes three Unit Codes for X-10
modules which are used to control lamps and appliances chosen to make the home
look lived-in.
When armed in the AWAY mode, the console turns the three modules on and off
randomly between dusk and the Security Light OFF time. These modules are typically
used for inside lights and a radio or stereo to give the impression that the home is
occupied.
A code is downloaded to give the location (longitude and latitude) of the home, which is
used by the console to calculate the time of dusk. An additional time is downloaded to
specify when lights should all turn off. Daylight savings time is also taken into account.
In addition to the three modules described above, the designated security light is turned
on at dusk and turns off at the security light off-time (this is the same light that is flashed
during an alarm and can be controlled by the Keychain and Security/Home Automation
remotes). This could be used to control an outside security light for example.
Any X-10 controlled modules may be used for the automatic lighting control function,
including wall switches, controlled outlets and plug-in modules. These modules can also be
controlled using any X-10 remote control.
Options downloaded by the security installation firm
The options listed on the following pages are downloaded by the installing security firm
when the system is first set up. These options should therefore be agreed with the
customer prior to setting up the system.
Any of these options can, be changed by the installer at a later date upon request.
