You can install the Radio Shack Cen-
tral 5000 Monitored Wireless Security
Alarm System anywhere in your home
using existing wiring. The system uses
radio frequencies, so it does not need
more wiring. It includes a handheld re-
mote, a keychain remote, two door/
window sensor transmitters, a motion
detector, and a lamp module so you
can immediately use the system. The
console monitors up to 16 sensor
transmitters (with additional remote
sensor transmitters) and sounds its
built-in alarm and calls ORCA Monitor-
ing Services when a violation occurs.
Here are the system’s features.
Two Door/Window Sensor Trans-
mitters — trigger the console’s built-in
alarm when a secured door or window
opens (additional sensor transmitters,
Cat. No. 49-2585).
Handheld Remote — lets you control
the system plus lights and appliances
connected to Plug ´n Power modules
(additional handheld remotes, Cat. No.
49-2591T).
Ke
y
chain Remote — lets you arm/dis-
arm the system and control lights and
appliances (additional keychain re-
motes, Cat. No. 49-2591).
Lamp Module — lets you turn on/off a
lamp using a remote control. The lamp
also flashes during an alarm (addition-
al lamp modules, Cat. No. 61-2682).
Motion Detector — protects an area
an intruder might enter (additional mo-
tion detectors, Cat. No. 49-2589).
Plu
g
´n Power Compatible Desi
g
n—
lets you add a total of 16 door/window
sensor transmitters, lamp modules,
motion detectors, and other accesso-
ries to customize your system.
Supervised Operation — keeps track
of each door/window sensor transmit-
ter’s status and alerts you if there is a
problem (such as an intrusion or a low
battery).
ORCA-Monitored Securit
y
—means
you get 24-hour monitoring to alert the
police, neighbors, or you at work if the
system detects an unauthorized entry.
Auto Timer—gives your home a
lived-
in
look when you are away by turning
on one module and randomly turning
on and off up to three other modules
from dusk until about 11:30 PM (re-
quires additional modules).
Important: In some areas, you must
get a permit for monitored alarm ser-
vice. We recommend that you contact
your local law enforcement agency
and inquire about local alarm permits.

READ THIS BEFORE
INSTALLATION
Your console’s telephone dialer is de-
signed to conform to federal regula-
tions, and you can connect it to most
telephone lines. However, each tele-
phone or telephone device that you
connect to the telephone line draws
power from the telephone line. We re-
fer to this power draw as the device's
ringer equivalence number, or REN.
The REN is shown on the bottom of the
console.
If you use more than one telephone or
other device on the line, add up all the
RENs. If the total is more than five,
your telephones might not ring. In rural
areas, a total REN of three might im-
pair ringer operation. If ringer opera-
tion is impaired, remove a device from
the line.
Note: You must not connect your con-
sole to:
• Coin-operated systems
• Party-line systems
• Most electronic key telephone
systems
Your console’s telephone dialer com-
plies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
. You
must, upon request, provide the FCC
registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both num-
bers are shown on the bottom of the
console.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
After you set up your account with
ORCA Monitoring Services, your sys-
tem calls and reports alarms to ORCA
Monitoring Services’ trained staff of se-
curity professionals. See “During an
Alarm” on Page 26.
The system also automatically calls
ORCA Monitoring Services about once
per month to perform a routine check-
in. This call is made between Midnight
and 6 AM to avoid possible interfer-
ence with other phone calls. If you lift
the handset and hear strange tones,
hang up and wait a few minutes for the
call to end. If ORCA Monitoring Servic-
es does not receive a check-in within
this time, they call you to let you know
of a possible problem with the system.
ORCA Monitoring Services can also
have the system blink the MONITOR
indicator and sound a chirp. If you see
this, call 1-800-FOR-ORCA to deter-
mine the problem.
SETTING UP
MONITORED SERVICE
Important: Your system is not fully op-
erational until ORCA Monitoring Ser-
vices programs the system.
To set up service, you need to:
• Fill out the enclosed monitoring
agreement and mail or fax it to
ORCA Monitoring Services.
• Install the system.
• Call ORCA Monitoring Services
by lifting your phone’s handset
and pressing MONITOR on the
console or by dialing 1-800-FOR-
ORCA (1-800-367-6722) from a
telephone on the same line as
your system.
During the call, ORCA Monitoring
Services instructs you to press
MONITOR on the system and then
hang up the phone. They then
program option settings (listed on
Pages 8–9) into the system. The
preferred settings work best for
most situations. However, you can
ask ORCA Monitoring Services to
change these settings to make the
system work best for you. (If you
do not ask for changes, the pre-
ferred settings are used.)
Note: The system beeps when
programming is complete. To
avoid interrupting system pro-
gramming, do not lift your tele-
phone’s handset until you hear the
beep.
After ORCA Monitoring Services pro-
grams your system, you can begin us-
ing it. However, they do not notify
emergency services of an alert until
they have received and responded to
your monitoring agreement. Allow 24
hours for faxed requests and 5 days for
mailed requests.
Note: Call 1-800-FOR-ORCA at least
5 days before you move to another ad-
dress.

PLANNING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM
Before you set up your system, draw a
security plan of your home. This is es-
pecially important if you install sensor
transmitters to protect several different
zones.
If you live in an upstairs apartment, the
front door might be the best place to
mount a door/window sensor transmit-
ter. If you live in a house or downstairs
apartment, you might want to cover a
back door or window.
Your security system has three goals:
• To prevent loss by discouraging
potential intruders.
• To scare intruders away before
they can take your property or
break into your home.
• To alert ORCA that someone is
breaking into your home.
To help accomplish these goals, you
should:
• Post decals on doors and win-
dows stating that your home is
protected by a security system.
Monitored Alarm decals are
included with your system. Addi-
tional decals (Cat. No. 49-507) are
available at your local Radio
Shack store.
• Choose a location for the console
where it is not easily accessible or
seen by intruders.
In addition, most police departments
offer information that might be helpful.
After making a preliminary plan, con-
tact your local police department to
see if they offer guidelines or other ser-
vices for planning a home securitysys-
tem.

ASSIGNING SECURITY
ZONES
A security zone is an area of protection
covered by a single door/window sen-
sor transmitter, motion detector, or oth-
er sensing/transmitting device. Your
security console monitors up to 16
zones and alerts you if there is a viola-
tion (see “Zone Indicators”).
When you initialize your security sys-
tem’s sensor transmitters, the console
assigns a zone number to the sensor
transmitter (see “Initializing the Door/
Window Sensor Transmitters”). The kit
includes numbered stickers you attach
to each sensor transmitter to show its
zone number.
For your reference, make a record of
which area of your home a zone cov-
ers. For example, using the floorplan
you drew, you could mark the front
door as “Zone 1.”
REASSIGNING
SECURITY ZONES
If you want to remove one accessory,
reassign an accessory to a zone cur-
rently in use, or add an accessory
when all zones are assigned, you must
completely reinitialize the system.
To reinitialize the system, set INSTALL/
RUN 1/RUN 2 to INSTALL. Then press
PANIC, ARM HOME, and ARM AWAY on
the console at the same time. Reinitial-
ize all remote controls, door/window
sensor transmitters, and motion detec-
tors, assigning each accessory to the
desired zone.

QUICK INSTALLING/TESTING YOUR SYSTEM
This section describes how to initialize
system accessories so the console
recognizes them and how to test the
system to make sure it works properly.
Perform all the procedures in this sec-
tion, then follow the instructions in “Lo-
cating and Mounting Accessories.”
You can add other separately pur-
chased accessories to the system by
following the appropriate initialization
and testing procedures in this section.
SETTING UP THE
CONSOLE
1. Choose a location for the console
that is:
• Close to a modular phone jack.
• Central to doors/windows you
want to protect so all sensor
transmitters are within 100 feet.
• Positioned where you can eas-
ily check the zone indicators for
problems, but not where an
intruder could easily see it.
2. For backup power in case of an
AC power failure, connect and
place a 9-volt alkaline battery
(Cat. No. 23-553) in the battery
compartment.
3. Plug the console into any stan-
dard AC outlet that is not con-
trolled by an on/off switch, then
fully extend the antenna.
4. Plug the telephone cord into the
console and plug the other end
into a modular phone jack.

Notes:
• If you do not have an unused jack,
use the supplied duplex adapter.
For a baseboard jack, plug the
adapter into the jack; for a wall
jack, plug the adapter into the
console.
• If you do not have a modular
phone jack, you can either update
the wiring yourself or have the
phone company do it for you.
Radio Shack stores sell the jacks
and adapters you need. The
phone company charges to install
the jacks. The USOC number of
the jack to be installed is RJ11C
for a baseboard jack or RJ11W for
a wall jack.
INSTALLING THE
KEYCHAIN REMOTE
CONTROL
1. Remove the keychain remote con-
trol’s back cover. Install two AAA
alkaline batteries (Cat. No. No.
23-555) in the battery compart-
ment, according to the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
Then replace the cover.
2. Set the console’s INSTALL/RUN 1/
RUN 2 switch to INSTALL.
3. Stand near the console and press
ARM on the remote control. The
console chimes and logs in the
remote control.
4. Leave the console’s switch set to
INSTALL to install other accesso-
ries.

INSTALLING THE LAMP
MODULE
When the alarm trips, lamps connect-
ed to lamp modules flash on and off for
the duration of the alarm. After 4 min-
utes (or when you disarm the alarm),
the lamps stop flashing and remain on.
If you arm the system with an exit de-
lay, lamp modules set to the same
House and Unit Code as the console
turn on during the exit countdown.
You can also control lamp modules set
to this code using SECURITY LIGHT on
the handheld remote.
Follow these steps to install a lamp
module.
1. Plug a lamp into the supplied lamp
module and plug the module into
an AC outlet that is on the same
electrical circuit as the console.
Note: Do not plug an appliance or
fluorescent lamp into the supplied
module.
2. Be sure the lamp’s switch is on.
3. Set the module’s House and Unit
Code dials to the same codes you
selected when you set up service.
Replace with the actual illustration

TESTING THE SYSTEM
After you complete the quick installa-
tion procedures, follow these steps to
test the system.
Note: To avoid alarming neighbors, tell
them you are testing the system.
1. Set INSTALL/RUN 1/RUN 2 on the
console to RUN 2.
2. Place each door/window sensor
transmitter’s magnet next to its
magnetic switch.
3. Place the motion detector on a
counter top within 100 feet of the
console.
4. Move a door/window sensor
transmitter’s magnet away from
the magnetic switch.
When the system is not armed,
the console chimes every time
someone opens a door or window
with the system in the RUN 2
mode. The system does not chime
in the RUN 1 mode.
Replace the magnet next to the
magnetic switch.
5. Press ARM on a remote control,
and then move the magnet away
from the magnetic switch again.
The alarm sounds and the lamp
connected to the lamp module
flashes on and off. Press DISARM
to turn off the alarm, and LIGHTS
OFF to turn off the lamp. Replace
the magnet next to the magnetic
switch.
6. Press ARM on the remote control,
then walk across the path of the
motion detector’s lens. The alarm
sounds and the lamp connected
to the lamp module flashes on and
off. Press DISARM to turn off the
alarm. The console chimes twice.
Press LIGHTS OFF to turn off the
lamp.

MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
MOUNTING THE DOOR/
WINDOW SENSOR
TRANSMITTERS
You can install any combination of
door/window sensor transmitters (Cat.
No. 49-2585) and motion detectors
(Cat. No. 49-2589), in up to 16 zones.
Follow these steps to mount each
door/window sensor transmitter.
1. Set the DELAY switch on the door/
window sensor transmitter to MIN
to protect a window or to MAX to
protect a door.
Note: The MAX setting lets you
arm a sensor transmitter with a
60-second exit delay and a 30-
second entry delay (see “Instant/
Delay Mode”). When set to MIN,
the sensor transmitter immedi-
ately triggers the alarm if it is trig-
gered after the exit delay.
2. Select a location for the door/win-
dow sensor transmitter. We rec-
ommend that you purchase
enough sensor transmitters to
protect the front and back door
and any windows that are hidden
from view or easily accessible
(including basement windows).
3. The supplied sensor transmitter
and magnet switch are connected.
If the wire is too long, shorten it by
cutting it to the length required,
stripping the ends, and reconnect-
ing it to the magnetic switch.
4. Remove the sensor transmitter’s
batteries and attach it to the wall
using the supplied screws or dou-
ble-sided tape (such as Radio
Shack Cat. No. 64-2361). Then
replace the batteries (if you
removed them) and close the bat-
tery compartment door.
5. Align the arrows on the switch and
magnet, then install the switch
and magnet using the supplied
screws or double-sided tape.
Notes:
• Do not mount the magnet
directly onto a metal surface. If
necessary, use a wood or plas-
tic spacer.

• If you mount magnetic switches
on metal doors or frames,
ensure that they are no more
than 3/16 of an inch apart. On
wooden surfaces, they can be
up to 3/8of an inch apart.
• For sliding doors/windows, it is
best to mount the magnet and
switch so the magnet makes a
clean break
from the switch
when the door or window is
opened.
6. Open the door or window. The
light on the sensor transmitter
turns on each time you open the
door or window.
Repeat Steps 1–6 for any additional
sensor transmitters you want to install
(in up to 16 zones).
Notes:
• To protect more than one door or
window with a single sensor trans-
mitter, use NC (Normally Closed)-
type magnetic switches and loop
them in series from one door or
window to the next using 18-
gauge wire. Then connect both
ends of the loop to the sensor
transmitter.
• You cannot use NO (Normally
Open) magnetic switches with this
sensor transmitter.
