Planning Sensor Types & Locations
System Devices
The system can monitor up to 24 sensors and may use any of
the following:
Door/Window Sensor (60-670)
For intrusion protection, install Door/Window sensors on all
ground-floor doors and windows. At a minimum, install them
in the following locations:
❑ All easily accessible exterior doors and windows.
❑ Interior doors leading into the garage.
❑ Doors to areas containing valuables such as cabinets and
closets.
Indoor Motion Sensor (60-639)
Indoor motion sensors are ideal whenever it is not practical to
install door/window sensors on every opening. Identify areas
where an intruder is likely to walk through. Large areas in an
open floor plan, downstairs family rooms, and hallways are
typical locations for indoor motion sensors. For installations
with pets, use the ITI SAW Pet Immune PIR (60-807).
Outdoor Motion Sensor (60-639)
Use outdoor motion sensors to detect motion in a protected
outdoor area. Detected motion in this protected area can sound
chimes or turn on outside lights. Do not use Outdoor Motion
Sensors for intrusion protection.
Freeze Sensor* (60-742)
Freeze sensors detect low temperature conditions which may
indicate a furnace failure. The sensor contains a bimetallic
thermal switch connected to the built-in transmitter. The sensor
transmits an alarm signal to the panel when the surrounding
temperature drops to about 41°F. When the temperature rises to
50°F, the sensor transmits a restore signal.
Water Sensor* (60-744)
Water sensors detect a water leak/rising water. The detector is
connected to the sensor by an 8-foot (2.4-meter) cable. Water
that reaches both detector contact points activates the sensor,
causing it to transmit an alarm signal.
Smoke Sensor (60-848-95)
Smoke sensors provide fire protection by causing an alarm to
sound throughout the house. You can add smoke sensors near
sleeping areas and on every floor of the house. Avoid areas that
could have some smoke or exhaust such as attics, kitchens,
above fireplaces, dusty locations, garages, and areas with tem-
perature extremes. In these areas you may want to install Rate-
of-Rise sensors to detect extreme temperature changes. See
“Emergency Planning” and the instructions packaged with the
smoke sensor for complete placement information.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm* (60-652-95)
The Learn Mode™ CO Alarm alerts users to hazardous levels
of carbon monoxide gas. If dangerous concentrations of gas are
present, the red indicator light comes on, the internal siren goes
off, and an alarm is transmitted to the panel. The panel sounds
its own alarm and reports to the central station.
Keychain Touchpad* (60-659)
The Keychain Touchpad lets you turn the system on and off
from right outside the home or activate a panic alarm if there is
an emergency. If you have X-10 Lamp Modules, you can use
keychain touchpads to turn all system controlled lights on and
off.
Remote Handheld Touchpad (60-671)
The Remote Handheld Touchpad lets you turn the system on
and off while in the home, turn system controlled lights on and
off (all or individual lights), or activate a panic alarm if there is
a non-medical emergency.
X-10 Modules*
When the panel is powered using the line carrier power trans-
former, the system can work with any of the following mod-
ules:
❑ X-10 Appliance Module (13-402)
❑ X-10 Powerhorn/Remote Siren Module (13-398)
❑ X-10 Universal Module (13-399)
Note
Use of X-10 modules has not been investigated by UL.

®
200 Audio Verification Module* (60-787)
The Audio Verification Module (AVM) gives the central sta-
tion operator the ability to hear what’s happening at the pre-
mises during an alarm and to speak directly to the system user.
The operator can then determine how serious an alarm is, find
out what kind of help is needed, and dispatch the appropriate
assistance. Only one AVM may be installed per panel.
Planning Sensor Types & Locations
The first step to an easy and successful installation is to decide
what areas or items to protect, which lights or appliances to
operate, and the best location for the panel, touchpad, sensors,
and sirens.
Metal objects, mirrors, and metallic wallpaper can block sig-
nals sent by the wireless sensors. Make sure there are no metal
objects in the way when installing the system.
Use the planning tables in “Appendix B” to determine the
appropriate Sensor Type for the sensors you will be adding.
You’ll need to understand the application for each sensor. For
example, Keychain Touchpads are typically programmed as
sensor type 01 (Portable panic), used to send an intrusion alarm
to a central monitoring station. This sensor type is instant intru-
sion, it does not require restoral or supervisory communication
with the panel and it is active in 4 arming levels (disarm, arm
doors & windows, arm motion sensors, and arm doors/win-
dows and motions sensors).
