Planning Sensor Types & Locations Beta Test 7/9/01
temperature rises to 50°F, the sensor transmits a restore sig-
nal to the panel.
Water Sensor (60-744)*
Water sensors detect a water leak in a home or business.
The detector is connected to the sensor by an 8-foot (2.4-
meter) cable. Water that reaches both detector contact
points activates the sensor, causing it to transmit an alarm
signal.
Smoke Sensor
Smoke sensors can provide fire alert protection by causing
the alarm to sound throughout the house. You can add
smoke sensors near sleeping areas and on every floor of the
house. Avoid areas that could have some smoke or exhaust
such as attics, kitchens, above fireplaces, dusty locations,
garages, and areas with temperature extremes. In these
areas you may want to install Rate-of-Rise sensors to detect
extreme temperature changes. See “Emergency Planning”
on page 26 and the instructions packaged with the smoke
sensor for complete placement information.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm (60-652-95)*
The Learn Mode™CO Alarm alerts users to hazardous lev-
els of carbon monoxide gas. If dangerous concentrations of
gas are present, the red indicator light comes on, the internal
siren goes off, and an alarm is transmitted to the panel. The
panel sounds its own alarm and calls the central station.
Keychain Touchpad (60-659)
The Keychain Touchpad enables you to turn the system on
and off from right outside the home or to turn on the siren
and to call the central monitoring station if there is an emer-
gency. If you have Lamp Modules, you can use keychain
touchpads to turn all system controlled lights on and off.
Remote Handheld Touchpad (60-671)
The Remote Handheld Touchpad enables you to turn the
system on and off while in the home, turn lights controlled
by the system on and off (all or individual lights), or turn on
a system siren and call the central monitoring station if
there is a non-medical emergency. The Remote Handheld
Touchpad will report an alarm type specific to its sensor
type (see the “Sensor Group Characteristics”on page 33).
X-10 Modules
When the panel is powered using the line carrier power
transformer, the system can work with any of the following
modules:
❑X-10 Appliance Modules (13-402)
❑X-10 Powerhorn/Remote Siren Modules (13-398)
❑X-10 Universal/Garage Door Modules (13-399)
❑X-10 Wall Switch Modules (13-397)
❑Interrogator®200 Audio Verification Module (AVM)
(60-787)
Note
Use of the above X-10 modules has not been investi-
gated by UL.
Interrogator®200 Audio Verification Module (60-677)*
The Audio Verification Module (AVM) gives the central
station operator the ability to hear what’s happening at the
premises during an alarm and to speak directly to the sys-
tem user. The operator can then determine how serious an
alarm is, find out what kind of help is needed, and dispatch
the appropriate assistance. Only one AVM may be installed
per panel.

Planning Sensor Types & Locations
The first step to an easy and successful installation is to
decide what areas or items to protect, which lights or appli-
ances to operate, and the best location for the panel, touch-
pad, sensors, and sirens. Use the previous information and
the Table “Recommended Sensor Types”on page 2, to note
your requirements.
Metal objects, mirrors, and metallic wallpaper can block
signals sent by the wireless sensors. Make sure there are no
metal objects in the way when installing the system.
Use the planning tables in Appendix A to determine the
appropriate Sensor Type for the sensors you will be adding.
You’ll need to understand the application for each sensor.
For example, Keychain Touchpads are typically pro-
grammed as sensor type 01 (Portable panic),used to send an
intrusion alarm to a central monitoring station. This sensor
type is instant intrusion, it does not require restoral or super-
visory communication with the panel and it is active in 4
arming levels (disarm, arm doors & windows, arm motion
sensors, and arm doors/windows and motions sensors).
Control Locations
Control Panel
Locate the panel so that the alarm sounds can be heard and
is easily accessible for operation.
Do not install the panel near a window or door where it can
be reached easily by an intruder.
