Automatic or Remote Security Lighting
How to do it..........

  1. Replace the existing porch (or any other) light switch with an XPS3 20Amp Non-dimming Wall Switch, XPDI3 Dimming Wall Switch); max 500W incandescent or if toggle style is required, use the PLW01 Wall Switch; max. 500W incandescent only.

    Additionally a PLM01 Plug-in Lamp Module can be used on an internal lamp, using a standard incandescent bulb up to 300W.

  2. Plug a PAT01 RF Base Transceiver into an indoor outlet located as near to the front of the house as possible.

  3. Use a PHR04 Wireless Keychain Remote to turn on lights as you approach the front pathway or front door.

    Optionally; Connect the PSC01 PowerFlash Interface to the bell output or a programmable output on your existing alarm panel to integrate alarm panel with lights. This will turn ON/OFF or “Flash” the installed X10 Wall Switch (s) / Module (s) upon an alarm condition.

• Numerous, prominent alarm system manufacturers produce security panels with the X10 Protocol built into the system. The inherent ability to output the X10 signal is further simplified using the PSC04 One-Way Powerline Interface or the PSC05 Two-Way Powerline Interface.

Either of these Interfaces connect to the alarm panel by a simple 4 conductor telephone cord.
Once connected the alarm panel can control multiple X10 Devices in variety of events.
This is usually programmed by the installer via the alarm’s keypad.
