10. Advanced Home Automation functions
Chapter 7 described the use of X10 Home Automation options of the security system. But there is more; besides
the Plug & Play modules a large number of built-in switches, in-wall and sun blind switches, remote controls and
special modules are available. With the addition of these modules you can control nearly everything that is
electrically powered in your home via your security system Base Console. See
www.x10modules.com
(Product group
Home Automation) for more information.
The system has for default a few extra functions that use the X10 system:
10.1 Checking the status of the security system
Set a X10 module to address B4 (=HC+1, UC=4). This Home Automation module is now automatically switched
on as soon as the security system is activated. When the system is disarmed, the module will also be switched
off. Example: You can connect a table lamp to this X10 module. If the system is activated, this lamp is always
turned on. This means you can instantly see if the system is activated when you are outside.
10.2 Installing an extra siren
10.2.1 PH7208
Set the siren PH7208 to address A1 or A2 (=HC, UC=1 or 2). To avoid false alarms, the system waits 20
seconds after triggering the alarm before the siren is activated. The siren will give a strident two-tone signal for 4
minutes. After these 4 minutes the siren is automatically switched off (or sooner if the alarm is switched off).
ATTENTION: When using a security system, the extra sirens will always work in case of an alarm, even when
the system is set to silent alarm! The Siren PH7208 is meant for indoor use and can be plugged into any wall
socket (230V/50Hz).
10.2.2 SH10 Security Horn / Remote Chime
Set the siren SH10 to address B5 (=HC+1, UC=5). ATTENTION: When using a security system, the extra
sirens will always work in case of an alarm, even when the system is set to silent alarm! The Siren SH10 is
meant for indoor use and can be plugged into any wall socket (230V/50Hz).
If Chime is enabled, opening a D/W sensor gives a pleasant 6 tone message. It also gives tones for Exit Delay
when Arming, one single tone once every 4 seconds.
10.3 Using an external universal siren
You can also add sirens and flash lights that are not part of the (current) range. Please use a separately
available AD10, AW12 or AM12 Appliance Module. Set this module to address B6 (=HC+1, UC=6). The module
is switched on in case of an alarm and switched off after 4 minutes.
10.4 Transceiver function
The X10 product range contains several wireless remote controls that you can use to control your X10 modules
(such as a universal remote control for your TV, audio equipment and X10). These remote controls use radio
signals, which means the remote control signal goes through walls and ceilings. See
www.x10modules.com
for more
information. Your console will convert these remote control RF signals to X10 signals and transmit them via the
power lines. You can then control the X10 modules using these transmitters.
