Choosing a location for the
console
Before you select a location for the
Monitor Plus
console, think of the areas
in your home where you would be most
likely to use the Remote Controls, Door/
Window Sensors, and Motion Sensors.
Select a location that is central to those
areas and that is within the console’s
range (up to 100 feet).

Here are some other things to consider
when choosing the console’s location:
• It must be close to a modular
telephone jack so you can easily
connect the telephone dialer.
• The console’s loud alarm might
frighten you if you trip it while you are
next to it, so it is best to place the
console in a large open area (like a
living room). But, you should also
place it close to a window so
neighbors are more likely to hear the
alarm.
Your X10 Powerhouse
Monitor Plus
Security System lets you feel secure.
The system includes a security console
with a digital communicator that
connects to a professional digital
monitoring station in the event of a break
in. The system includes two Door/
Window Sensors, a Motion Sensor, a
Lamp Module, and two Remote
Controls: one hand held, one keychain.
Features:
Quick Installation:
The
Monitor Plus
security system installation is a snap.
The system is easy to install and use.
Wireless Sensors:
The Door/Window
Sensors, and Motion Sensor are
completely wireless and communicate
to the base console via radio frequency.
Built in Digital Communicator:
Calls
the monitoring station in the event of a
break in.
Fully expandable:
You can protect up
to 16 zones with your security system,
plus you can control lights and
appliances by Remote Control, to start
a complete home automation system.
Panic Alarm:
Lets you sound the alarm
without calling the monitoring station.
Automatic lighting control:
When the
Monitor Plus
Security System is armed,
an automatic timer can be put into action
which turns lights, stereos, TVs, etc. on
and off at random times to make your
home look and sound lived in.
X10 Home Automation compatible:
Adding X10 Home Automation products
such
as
Appliance
Modules,
replacement Wall Switches and Lamp
Modules etc., is easy with this system,
since it is already configured to control
the full range of X10 Home Automation
products.
Self checking, fully monitored
system:
Every sensor installed is self-
checking, and if any fail to report in to
the base console at the correct time
interval, the sensor's zone indicator on
the alarm console flashes to alert you.
If you then try to arm the system, a
special warning tone is sounded, and
you must press a button to acknowledge
and bypass the warning before you can
complete the arming sequence.
Battery backed-up console:
If the
power fails or is cut, the house lights
will, of course, stop working - but the
security system doesn't, with all
features including telephone dialing and
alarm siren still ready for action using
an easy to replace 9V alkaline backup
battery in the console. An indicator on
the console warns you when the battery
needs changing.
