Introduction
The X10 Supervised Security System is built around a Security Console with an
automatic dialer that calls neighbors or friends in the event of a break in. Battery
powered RF Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors are used to trigger the alarm,
with RF Handheld and Keychain Remote controls for arming and disarming. All sensors
and remotes incorporate random digital security coding.
The system may be configured with any combination of the following items:
• Up to 16* Keychain Remotes with arm/disarm/panic and security light functions.
• Up to 16* Handheld Security Remote with arm/disarm and panic functions, and
buttons to control the security light and up to four additional X10 automation modules
to operate lights and appliances around the home.
• Up to 16* magnetic switch operated wireless Door/Window Sensors.
• Up to 16* wireless PIR Motion Detectors.
• Remote PowerHorn
™
sirens.
• Additional X10 automation modules such as plug-in lamp and appliance modules and
wired-in replacement wall switches.
This manual describes the installation process for the security elements of the system,
and does not cover the additional X10 automation modules which are supplied with their
own installation instructions.

Note: Remotes may be added in any combination up to a total of 16. Door/Window
Sensors and Motion Detectors may be added in any combination up to a total of 16.

Locating the Security Console
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 fixed to a wall using the optional mounting
bracket and screws.
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.
