INTRODUCTION

The PS561 Security Console is part ofa Supervised Security System and isused with the following accessories,(sold separately).

Hand-held Remote Controls andKey-chain Remote Controls forarming and disarming the systemand for controlling lights and appli-ances around the home.

Door/Window Sensors with mag-netic switch and magnet.

Passive Infrared Motion Detectors.

Lamp Modules for flashing houselamps.

Wall Switch Modules for flashingindoor and outdoor lights.

Remote 110-decibel siren.

You can add Door/Window Sensors toprotect up to 16 doors or windows, oradd a Motion Detector to protect anarea with more than one entry point.When someone opens the door or win-dow, or enters a protected area, theConsole sounds its alarm and sendssignals over the house wiring to flashlights connected to X-10 Modules Itcan also trip an additional loud remotesiren. The Console dials up to 4 pre-programmed phone numbers and playsback up to 15 seconds of pre-recordedmessage (in your voice). The personcalled can then listen in to your hometo determine the nature of the prob-lem.

You arm and disarm the system withthe Remote Control and you can addup to a total of eight Remote Controlswhich you can give to other familymembers. You can also use the Re-mote Control to control lights and ap-pliances around the home.

FeaturesWireless Installation - makes it easyto quickly make a home secure.

Sixteen-Zone System - lets you pro-tect 16 different groups of doors and/or windows in the home.

Remote Arm and Disarm - lets youarm the system, turn on lights, or evensound the alarm from anywhere in oraround the home.

Expandable Design - lets you addmore Door/Window Sensors and Mo-tion Detectors to expand the system’scoverage.

Fully Supervised Operation - so thesystem keeps track of the status ofeach Door/Window Sensor.

Built-in Voice Dialer - Dials a friendor neighbor for help and plays back astored message (in your voice).

X-10 POWERHOUSE Compatible -so you can add other Remote Controlsto the system or even add a timer tomake the home look lived-in while no-body is at home.

INSTALLING THE SYSTEM

LOCATING THE SETTING UP THECONSOLE CONSOLESelect a location that is central to thedoors and windows you wish to pro-tect so that all Door/Window Sensorsand Motion Detectors are within rangeof the Console. Later, when you arefamiliar with the operation of the sys-tem you should test all the Sensors,Motion Detectors, and Remote Con-trols from the locations you intend touse them. Also, locate the Consolenear a phone jack and where it caneasily be seen on a day to day basis sothat it will be noticed if any of thezone indicators report a problem.

1. Plug the Console into an AC outletwhich is not controlled by a wallswitch.

6.

Set the switch on the front of theDoor/Window Sensor to MIN ifyou are using it to protect a win-dow or to MAX if you are using itto protect a door.

Set the switch inside the Door/Window Sensor’s battery compart-ment to the right - N.C. (NormallyClosed). The magnetic switch sup-plied with the sensor is the N.C.type.

The, sensor and magnetic switchsupplied are already connected to-gether. If you need a longer wire,use any suitable wire to connect themagnetic switch to the Door/Window Sensor’s two screw termi-nals.

Select a location for the Door/Window Sensor. We recommendthat you purchase enough sensorsto protect the front and back doorand any windows that are obscuredfrom view or easily accessible (in-cluding basement windows).

Mount the Door/Window Sensorand the magnetic switch in the in-tended location using the suppliedscrews or double sided tape.

Install the magnet using the sup-plied screws or double sided tape.

Note: If you mount the magneticswitches on metal doors or framesyou should ensure that they are nomore than 3/16" apart. On woodensurfaces they can be up to 3/8”apart.

Do not mount the magnet directly ontoa metal surface, use a wood or plasticspacer.

7. Check for proper alignment byopening the door or window. Thelight on the sensor turns on eachtime you open the door or win&w.

Repeat Steps 1 to 7 for any additionalsensors you wish to install (up to 16).

Typical mounting methods

00

First attach the sensor’sback cover to the wall.

Then slide the sensoronto the cover.

Windows

Note: For sliding windows it is best tomount the magnet and switch at thebottom of the window with the arrowsfacing each other. This way the mag-net wiII make a “clean break” from theswitch when the window is opened. Ifyou want to mount them on the side ofthe window (so that the magnet “slidespast” the switch) you should offsetthem slightly so that the arrows DONOT line up, as shown in the diagramto the right.

To protect more than one door orwindow fkom a single sensor

Use N.C. (Normally Closed) typemagnetic switches and Ioop them inseries from one door or window to thenext (using any suitable wire). Thenconnect both ends of the loop to thesensor. See below.

Note: N.C. means Normally Closed.This type of magnetic switch is sup-plied with the sensors. These switchesare normally closed when the door orwindow is closed, and open when themagnet is moved away. This type ofmagnetic switch is used so that if thewire between the magnetic switch andthe Door/Window Sensor is cut, thealarm trips. If you want to connectmore than one magnetic switch to asensor you will need to connect themin series (not in parallel).

You can use Normally Open (N.O.)magnetic switches if you want to con-nect them in parallel but the alarm willnot trip if someone cuts the wire be-tween the switch and the sensor.

USING THE SP554A.

Set switch on left (looking at back) to(1) to trip alarm if ANY movement isdetected (most sensitive). Set switch to(2) to trip alarm if two movements de-tected or continuous movement detect-edin a short time (less sensitive to pets).

Using SPS54A with SH624:

Set switch on right to Home/Away.Use the SH624 Remote Control to armthe system in the Away mode (whicharms Door/Window Sensors ANDSP554As) or in the Home mode (whicharms Door/window Sensors only).

Using SPSS4A with HT544/KF574:

Set switch on right to NORMAL andswitch on left to (1) or (2) to includeSP554A when arming system. Setswitch on left to OFF if you don’t wantit to arm (i.e. when you’re at home).

Testing the SPS54A

Place SP554A within 100 feet of Con-sole. Walk past SP554A. Consolechimes. Wait 20 seconds before re-peating test (the SP554A has a 20-sec-ond lock-out to extend battery life).Arm system, walk past SP554A: alarmtrips. Press [DISARM] on Remote.

The SP544A can “see” up to a dis-tance of about 40 feet with a 90 degreefield of view. It can be placed up toabout 100 feet away from the Console.

AI1 types of motion detectors sensemotion by detecting a change in tem-perature. Therefore, to help preventfalse alarms, do not place the SP554AMotion Detector near a heating or airconditioning vent.

12

You can place the SP554A on a coun-ter top or use the included mountingbracket. The mounting bracket allowsthe SP554A to be swivelled up anddown and from left to right to obtainthe desired coverage. For optimumperformance the SP544A should beplaced at a height of about 6 feet.

For best coverage it should be placedso that an intruder walks across itspath rather than towards it.

SETTING UP REMOTE MODULES

SETTING UPLAMP MODULESWhen the alarm trips, lamps connect-ed to Lamp Modules (set to the sameHousecode as the Console) flash onand off for the duration of the alarm.After 4 minutes (or when you disarmthe alarm) the lamps stop flashing andremain on.

If you arm the system to give an exitdelay, Lamp Modules set to the sameHousecode and Unit Code as the Con-sole turn on during the exit countdowntime. You can also control Lamp Mod-ules set to this code from the [LIGHTON] and [LIGHT OFF] buttons on theHT544 and KF574 Remote Controls,or from the [SECURITY LIGHT] but-tons on the SH624 Remote Control.

Choose a lamp you wish to be part ofthe security system. Make sure thelamp’s on/off switch is on and plug thelamp into the Lamp Module, ModelNo. LM465 (sold separately). Plug theLamp Module into any convenientoutlet. Set the Housecode and UnitCode dials on the Lamp Module to thesame letter and number as you set onthe Console.

POWERHORN REMOTE SIREN

SETTING UP THE POWERHORN

The POWERHORN Remote Powerlinesiren responds to signals transmittedby the Console (over house wiring).

When the alarm trips, the Console’s si-ren sounds and lights flash. After thelights have flashed on and off about 5times, the POWERHORN trips. Itsounds for as long as the system is inalarm and then shuts off about 10 sec-onds after the alarm resets or is dis-armed.

1.

2.

Set Housecode and Unit Code dialson POWERHORN to same letterand number as the Console.

Plug POWERHORN into a standardAC outlet (not one controlled by awall switch).

WARNING: The POWERHORN isextremely loud! Do not stand near itwhen you trip the alarm. Prolongedexposure to the 110 decibel outputcould cause permanent hearingdamage.

USING THE SYSTEM

CONSOLEZONE INDICATORS

The Console displays the status of thefirst eight zones. These indicators candisplay four states, as follows:

Steady on - means that particulardoor or window is open.

Steady off - means that particulardoor or window is closed.

Slow Flashing - means that particu-lar Door/Window Sensor is reporting aproblem.

Fast Flashing - means that a particu-lar Door/Window Sensor reported aproblem and the fault was bypassed,or the door/window is open and hasbeen bypassed.

All Door/Window Sensors and MotionDetectors report in to the Consoleabout every 90 minutes. If the Consoledoes not receive a signal from the sen-sor within 4 hours, it reports a prob-lem with that sensor by slowly flash-ing the appropriate zone indicator. Ifyou try to arm the system while a zoneindicator is flashing, the Consolesounds a repetitive trouble alarm. Ei-ther press [DISARM], correct theproblem and press [ARM] again, orpress [BYPASS] while the troublealarm is sounding, then press [ARM].The zone(s) with a problem will not bearmed and the zone indicator(s) willflash rapidly. AI1 other zones wilI arm.

If you bypass an open window andarm the system, and later close thewindow, that zone will now be armed.

ARMING AND DISARMINGTHE SYSTEM

When you arm the system in the RUN1 or RUN 2 mode, and open a door orwindow, the following happens:

l A loud (95 decibel) siren soundsfor 4 minutes.

l Lights connected to Lamp Modulesand Wall Switch Modules (set tothe same Housecode as the Con-sole) flash on and off.

l The automatic dialer dials the firstphone number stored and playsback your message.

When armed, RUN 1 and RUN 2modes are the same, opening a door orwindow trips the alarm. When the sys-tem is in RUN 2 mode and not armed,the Console sounds a pleasant chimewhen you open a door or window. InRUN 1 there are no chimes.

Instant ModeNote: The Key Chain Remote Control(KF574) always arms the system inthe INSTANT mode.

1.

2.

If using the I-IT544 or SH624, setits Delay switch to MIN.

Press [ARM]. The Console emitstwo tones and the ARMED indica-tor turns on.

Open a door or window, the alarminstantly trips, the siren sounds,lights connected to Lamp and WallSwitch Modules (set to the sameHousecode as the Console) flash onand off, and the dialer dials out.

16

3. Press [DISARM] to stop the siren.The lights remain on.

4. Press [LIGHT OFF] on the RemoteControl to turn off lights connectedto modules which you set to thesame Housecode and Unit Code asthe Console.

Delay Mode(HT544 and SH624 only)

1. Set the Delay switch on the HT544or SH624 Remote Control to MAX.

2. Press [ARM] on the Remote Con-trol. Lamps connected to modulesset to the same Housecode and UnitCode as the Console turn on. TheConsole chimes for approximately1 minute while you leave thehouse. You then hear a beep signi-fying that the system is armed, andthe lamp(s) turn off.

Open a door (that has its sensor setto MAX). The Console gives a pre-alarm beep, and lamps connected tomodules set to the same Housecodeand Unit Code as the Console turnon. After a delay of approximately30 seconds the alarm sounds, lampsconnected to Lamp and WallSwitch Modules (set to sameHousecode as the Console) flash,and the automatic dialer dials out.

3. Press [DISARM] to stop the siren.The lights remain on.

Note: Delayed arm/alarm only affectssensors set to MAX. If you open awindow (with its sensor set to MIN)the alarm trips instantly even if thesystem is armed for delayed alarm.

ARM HOME/ARM AWAY(SH624 only)The SH624 Remote Control lets youarm the system with or without Mo-tion Detectors armed

If you press [ARM AWAY] on theSH624 Remote Control, all Door/Window Sensors AND Motion Detec-tors will be armed.

If you press [ARM HOME] on theSH624 Remote Control, ONLY Door/Window Sensors will be armed. TheSP554A Motion Detectors wil l not bearmed. This lets you arm the system atnight without accidentally tripping thesystem yourself when you movearound the house.

Note: this feature requires the SP554AMotion Detector. It wilI not work withthe older SP554. If you use the olderSP554, the [ARM HOME] button wilIwork like the [ARM AWAY] button.I.E. both the [ARM HOME] and[ARM AWAY] buttons will armDoor/Window Sensors AND SP554Motion Detectors.

If using the older SP554 you canchoose to set it to MIN or MAX (withor without entry/exit delay). If usingthe newer SP554A it will always be inthe MIN (instant alarm) mode.

The MIN/MAX switch on the SH624lets you set it to arm the system withor without an exit/entry delay. Whenset to MIN everything in the systemwill arm and trip instantly. When setto MAX, SP544s (not SP554As) andDW534s set to MAX will have a 1minute exit and a 30 sec. entry delay.

17

ARMING WITHOUT THEREMOTE CONTROLYou can arm the system without usinga Remote Control by pressing theARM button on the Console. Armingthis way will ALWAYS arm the sys-tem in the Delay Mode.

SOUNDING THEPANIC ALARMHT544 and KF574 Remote Controls

Pressing ARM and DISARM (at thesame time) trips the alarm, even if thesystem is not armed, but it doesn’t dialout unless you arm the system first.

SH624 Remote Control

Pressing (PANIC] trips the alarm,even if the system is not armed, but itdoesn’t dial out unless you arm thesystem first.

TROUBLE ALARMIf you hear a repetitive trouble alarmwhen you try to arm the system, thereis a problem and the system does notarm. You can:

Correct the problem - First press[DISARM] to stop the troublealarm. Then, correct the problem.Then, arm the system again.

Ignore the problem - While thetrouble alarm is sounding, press[BYPASS]. The indicator(s) for theproblem zone(s) flash rapidly.Press [ARM] to arm the system.The problem zone(s) is/are not beprotected but al l other zones arm.

TO SEE THE STATUSOF ZONES 9-16If there is a problem with zones 9 -16,you do not see a flashing zone lightbut will hear the trouble alarm if youtry to arm the system. Press and hold[BYPASS]. This bypasses the problemand lets you see which zone is report-ing the problem. If you do not want tobypass the problem, correct the prob-lem then arm the system again.

AFTER AN ALARMWhen you disarm the system after anintrusion (or 4 minutes after the alarmtrips) the siren turns off and the lightswhich were flashing remain on (to letyou know there has been an intrusion).The ARMED indicator flashes and thezone indicator for the violated zone ison. Press LIGHT ON] or [LIGHTOFF] on the Remote Control to turnoff the zone indicator and the flashingARMED indicator. Press [LIGHTOFF] to turn off X-10 Modules set tothe same Housecode AND Unit Codeas the Console.

TESTING THE DIALER

Once you have installed the Sensorsand Remote Controls, and entered thephone numbers and the voice mes-sage, the Console is ready to use.

To test the voice message:First test the message without connect-ing the Console to the phone line. Dis-connect it if it’s already connected.

Set Console to RUN. The Consoleplays back your message through theplug-in earphone and the RECORDlight stays on for 15 seconds. To hearthe message again, set the Console toINSTALL, then back to RUN. Unplugthe earphone when finished.

You must test the dialer foreach phone number stored:Make sure the phone numbers havebeen entered into the Console as perthe instructions on page 15,

Make sure Console is connected to thephone line.

Call your friend or neighbor to letthem know you are going to test thesystem.

Place the Console in the RUN mode.Press [ARM] on the Remote Control.

Open an armed door or window or tripa Motion Detector. The Consolesounds its alarm, flashes house lightsand calls the first phone number.

Shortly after it dials the number, theConsole starts to play its message so ifthe person it calls doesn’t answerquickly, they may miss the first part ofthe message. However, the Consoleplays the message 3 times so the per-

son will always hear the completemessage. If the phone hasn’t been an-swered by the time the Console hasplayed the message three times, or ifthe call is answered by an answeringmachine and the Console thereforedoesn’t receive a touch-tone response,the Console dials the next numberstored (up to 4 phone numbers).

The message should include a state-ment asking the listener to press 0 ontheir touch-tone phone. If the listenerpresses 0, the sounder stops and theywill be able to listen-in (for 75 sec-onds). To test this, you can speak, thencall them back to ask them what yousaid. Note, you should wait 75 sec-onds before calling them because theConsole keeps the phone line tied upfor this period of time. (Or you can un-plug the Console from the phone linebefore calling them back, but remem-ber to reconnect after).

75 seconds after the listener presses 0,the sounder resumes and stops after 4minutes unless you press [DISARM]on the Remote Control to stop thealarm and reset the Console.

Important: The Console can be setto call out on either pulse or touch-tone phone systems but if the friendor neighbor who you choose to ac-cept calls from your system does nothave touch-tone service and a phonewhich can generate touch-tonecodes, they MUST purchase atouch-tone “beeper.”

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your supervised security system is an example of superior design and craftsman-ship. The following suggestions will help you care for your security system so youcan enjoy it for years.

Handle your supervised security system gently and carefully.Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases and cancause the unit to work improperly.

Wipe the supervised security system components with ‘adampened cloth occasionally to keep them clean. Do not useharsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents toclean the supervised security system.

Use and store the supervised security system only in normaltemperature environments. Extreme temperatures can shortenthe life of electronic devices and distort or melt plastic parts.

Modifying or tampering with your security system’s internal components can causea malfunction and might invalidate its warranty.

REPLACING BATTERIES

REMOTE CONTROL DOOR/WINDOW SENSORS

For HT544 use 9V alkaline battery.

For KF574 use 6V Eveready A544,Radio Shack 23-469, or equivalent.

For SH624 use four AAA alkaline bat-teries.

If any of the Console’s zone indicatorsflash slowly, the Door/Window Sensorfor that zone has not reported in dur-ing the last 4 hours. This is most likelycaused by a dead battery in the Door/Window Sensor.

After replacing batteries, the following After replacing the battery in thesteps are necessary to determine that Door/Window Sensor, the followingthe Console still recognizes the Re- steps are necessary to determine thatmote Control. the Console still recognizes the sensor.

1. Place the INSTALL/RUN switchon the Console to RUN 2.

2.

Place the INSTALL/RUN switchon the Console to INSTALL.

If you did not hear a chime whenyou pressed [TEST]:

Press [ARM] on the Remote Con-trol. The Remote Control transmitsa random code to the Console. TheConsole acknowledges this with abeep and logs in the Remote Con-trol. If you do not hear a beep,press [CODE] with a pencil andthen press [ARM].

1. Place the INSTALL/RUN switchon the Console to INSTALL.

RTS04The RT504 uses four AAA alkalinebatteries but it does not require any in-stallation. Just set its Housecode dialto match the Console and it’s ready touse.

2. Press [TEST]. The Door/WindowSensor transmits a code to the Con-sole. The Console acknowledgesthis with a beep and logs in thecode.

The Door/Window Sensor will nor-mally be logged into the SAME zonenumber as it was before you replacedthe battery. However, if you replacethe battery in the Door/Window Sen-sor when its zone light was NOTflashing, the Door/Window Sensor islogged into the next sequential zone(instead of the same zone as it was).

To avoid this, remove the old batteryand wait at least 4 hours before install-

27

ing the new battery. This ensures thatthe sensor is logged into its originalzone number.

MOTION DETECTORS

If any of the Console’s zone indicatorsflash slowly, the Motion Detector forthat zone has not reported in duringthe last 4 hours. This is most likelycaused by a dead battery in the MotionDetector.

After replacing the battery in the Mo-tion Detector, the following steps arenecessary to determine that the Con-sole still recognizes the Motion Detec-tor.

1. Place the INSTALL/RUN switchon the Console to RUN 2.

2. Press [TEST] on the Motion Detectortor. If the Console chimes, it recog-nized the Motion Detector and nofurther action is necessary.

If you did not hear a chime whenyou pressed [TEST):

1. Place the INSTALL/RUN switchon the Console to INSTALL.

2. Press [TEST] on the Motion Detec-tor. The Motion Detector transmitsa code to the Console. The Consoleacknowledges this with a beep andlogs in the code.

CONSOLEIf you unplug the Console and replacethe battery, you lose all memory of theinstalled Door/Window Sensors, Mo-tion Detectors and Remote Controls.You then have to set the INSTALL/RUN switch on the Console to IN-STALL and reinstall all the Door/Window Sensors, Motion Detectorsand Remote Controls.

To avoid this, replace the battery without unplugging the Console. You donot lose any stored codes and do nothave to re-install your system.

A 9V alkaline battery will provide atleast 12 hours of back-up. You shouldreplace the battery at least once a year.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the system does not arm:

l Check that the selector switch onthe Console is in the RUN 1 orRUN 2 position.

l Check that the battery indicator onthe Remote Control turns on whenyou press [ARM]. Replace the bat-tery and re-install the Remote Con-trol if necessary.

If a zone indicator flashes slowly:

One of the sensors/motion detectorshas not reported in, in the past 4 hours.

Check that the battery in the sensor/motion detector is good.

If you need to arm the system andwant to ignore a sensor/motion detec-tor which is not functioning:

1.

2.

Press [ARM] on the Remote Con-trol. You hear a repetitive troublealarm to alert you that there is aproblem.

While the trouble alarm is sound-ing, press [BYPASS] on the Con-sole. The zone indicator flashesrapidly.

Then press [ARM] on the RemoteControl. The problem zone is notprotected but all the other zones arearmed.

Note: If you Bypass an open windowand arm the system (as describedabove) and then later close the win-dow, that zone will now arm and itsindicator will stop flashing.

If a zone indicator flashes rapidly:

You pressed the Bypass button to armthe system while a sensor/motion de-tector was reporting a problem. Deter-mine the cause of the problem with thesensor/motion detector to arm thatzone.

If you hear a repetitive troublealarm when you try to arm the sys-tem, and it does not arm:

Check the zone indicators. If a door orwindow is open, its zone indictor ison. If there is a problem with a Sensoror Motion Detector, its zone indicatorflashes slowly. Either:

l Press [DISARM]. Check that eachDoor/Window Sensor is workingproperly and that you have not lefta door or window open. Then armthe system. Or:

l While the trouble alarm is sound-ing, press [BYPASS] to over-ridethe problem zone (its zone indica-tor then flashes rapidly). Then armthe system.

If the alarm trips when you enterthe house before you have time todisarm it:

Arm the system in the delay mode.

To do this: Set the MIN/MAX switchon the entry door sensor to MAX. Setthe MIN/MAX switch on the RemoteControl to MAX (HT544 and SH624only) and then, press [ARM].

29

If you cannot turn lights on or offfrom the [Light On] or [Light Off]buttons on the Remote Control:

Be sure you set the Housecode andUnit Code on the module(s) to thesame letter and number as theConsole.

Be sure the light you are trying tocontrol has its on/off switch in theon position. Be sure bulb is good.

Plug the module into another outletnear the Console.

Check that the battery indicator onthe Remote Control comes on whenyou press a button. Replace the bat-tery and re-install the Remote Con-trol if necessary.

If you have more than one Console(so you can store up to 8 differentphone numbers), be sure to set bothto the same Housecode and UnitCode.

WARNING: You can only use twoConsoles if each one has its own sep-arate phone line and each one is set upto call different phone numbers.

If you open a door or window andthe alarm does not trip:

Check that the system is armed.

Be sure the INSTALL/RUN switchon the Console is in the RUN 1 orRUN 2 position.

Check to see if the alarm tripswhen you press [TEST] on theDoor/Window Sensor.

If the alarm does not trip when you

press [TEST], check that the indica-tor on the sensor comes on whenyou press [TEST].

If the indicator does not come on,replace the battery and re-install thesensor if necessary.

If the alarm trips from the [TEST]button but does not trip when youopen the door or window:

Check that the magnet and switchare properly aligned.

Check the connections to the mag-netic switch’s terminals.

Check that the switch inside thebattery compartment on the Door/Window Sensor is set correctly(N.O. or N.C.) depending on whichtype of magnetic switches you areusing (N.C. type supplied with thesensors).

The system flashes lights by repeti-tively transmitting All Lights On -All Units Off. Therefore any applianc-es (connected to Appliance Modules)which were on at the time of thealarm, turn off from the All Units Offcode, and stay off.

30

If you do not want this to happen, setthe Appliance Module(s) to a differentHousecode from the one you set onthe Console.

If you do not hear a beep from theConsole when you press [ARM] toinstall a Remote Control:

Check to see if you can arm the sys-tem when the Console is in the RUNmode. If you can, the Remote Controlis already installed and no further ac-tion is necessary. If not:

1. Check that the Console is set to theINSTALL mode.

2. Press [CODE] on the Remote Con-trol with a pencil, then press[ARM] again.

If you do not hear a beep from theConsole when you press [TEST] toinstall a Door/Window Sensor orMotion Detector:

With the Console in the RUN mode,check that it chimes when you press[TEST] on the sensor/motion detector.If it does, the sensor/motion detector isalready installed and no further actionis necessary. If not:

1. Check that the Console is set to theINSTALL mode.

2. Press [CODE] on the sensor/motiondetector with a pencil, then press[TEST] again.

Note: Doing this when the sensor/motion detector is already installed,installs it AGAIN into the next zone.

If the battery indicator on the Con-sole is on.

Replace Console’s battery. A 9V alka-line battery provides approximately 12hours of back-up. Replace battery atleast once a year.

If a zone indicator is off when adoor/window is open or on when adoor/window is closed.

Check position of N.0/N.C. switchinside sensor’s battery compartment. Itshould be set to N.C. for type ofswitches supplied.

There is a slight chance that your sys-tem might have received a signal froma neighbor’s system. Remove the bat-tery from the sensor for that zone forat least 4 hours. Then re-install thesensor. To do this, press CODE withthe point of a pencil, then press TEST.

If you lose your Remote Control:

Re-install your complete system toprevent someone else from using thelost Remote Control.

If the system arms or disarms by it-self:

A neighbor may have a compatiblesystem. Re-install the complete systemso that it chooses different RF codes.

If red light on remote control stayson during installation:

Press [CODE] then press [ARM]. If itstill stays on, remove the battery, waita few seconds, then replace the bat-tery. Press [CODE] then press [ARM]again.

31

If red light on sensor/motion detec-tor stays on during installation:

Press [CODE] then press [TEST]. If itstill stays on, remove the battery, waita few seconds, then replace the bat-tery. Press [CODE] then press [TEST]again.

If the “ARMED” indicator is flash-ing:

This indicates that there has been anintrusion. Also, if a zone indicator ison, this indicates which zone was vio-lated. To turn the zone indicator off,and stop the armed indicator fromflashing, press the [LIGHT ON] or[LIGHT OFF] button on the remotecontrol. If a zone indicator is not on,the violated zone will have been oneof the second eight zones. Press (BY-PASS] to see which zone was tripped.

If the POWERHORN does not tripwhen the alarm trips:Note: The POWERHORN will notstart to sound until the lights (connect-ed to Lamp Modules and Wall SwitchModules) have flashed on and offabout 5 times.

l Be sure you set the Housecode onthe POWERHORN to the same let-ter as the Console.

l Plug the POWERHORN into anoth-er outlet near the Console.

If the motion detector causes “falsealarms”:

l All brands of motion detectorssense motion by detecting a changein temperature, therefore do not

32

place the motion near any sourcesof heat such as over an air condi-tioning or heating vent.

l Do not place in a direct source ofbright light’ such as sunlight..

If the Console doesn’t dial out:

l Check that you have programmedin a phone number (see page 15).

If the Console doesn’t play back anymessage when the phone is an-swered:o Check that you have programmed

in a message (see page 15).

If the Motion Detectors arm whenyou press ARM HOME on theSH624 Remote Control.

l Check that you are using the newerversion Motion Detector (SP554A).The older version (SP554) wilt notwork with the ARM HOME/ARMAWAY feature of the SH624.

If the Console appears to be“locked-up”

If the BUSY light is on, you mayhave just switched the Consolefrom INSTALL to RUN. The Con-sole will then play back the 15 sec-onds of pre-recorded message. Ifyou don’t have the earpiece con-nected you might think that theConsole is locked-up. Just wait for15 seconds and the BUSY light willgo out’

If the BUSY light is not on but theConsole appears to be locked-upyou might have just tested the sys-tem. When the Console dials out,

and someone answers the phoneand presses any key, the Console isput into the listen mode for 75 sec-onds. If you immediately call theperson back or if they call you,your phone will be busy becausethe Console remains in the listenmode for 75 seconds, during whichtime it keeps the phone line busyand may "appear" to be locked up.Just wait for 75 seconds and theConsole with be operational againand the phone line will be free.

INTERCOM SYSTEMS

Intercom systems which send voicesignals over existing electrical wiringmay interfere with the ability to con-trol modules from your supervised se-curity system when the intercom is inuse. If the intercom system has its ownseparate wiring it will not cause aproblem.

Note 1: The supervised security sys-tem does NOT work with the PR511Outdoor Motion Detector. The PR511will control the same lights that the se-curity system controls, but the PR511will NOT trip the alarm.

Note 2: The ARM button on the Con-sole arms the system in the Delaymodel only. Use the HT544, KF574 orSH624 Remote Control if you want toarm the system in the instant (MIN)mode.
