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.
Installation Installation Security Console Fitting the backup batteries 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).

Expanding Your System Expanding Your System The X10 Security System can flash lights on and off when the alarm trips. You connect the lights you want it to control to X10 Lamp Modules and Wall Switch Modules (sold separately). The Security Console also acts as a “Transceiver” and passes commands received from wireless remote controls onto your house wiring, so you can use X10 wireless remote controls to control the same lights that the Security System flashes.
X10 Wireless Cameras X10 Wireless Cameras You can add X10 2.4 GHz wireless cameras to you system. These work independently of your security system but can be remotely controlled using the same remote controls that you use to turn lights and appliances on and off remotely.
