X10 Ms16a User manual

Description: The Outdoor Motion Sensor, MS16A, is a battery operated, RF Transmitter capable of sensing: Motion and Dusk/Dawn events. It transmits an X10

Command to an X10 RF Base Transceiver (TM751) which then passes the X10 Command onto the AC wiring of the structure. This can be used to control X10 Receiver

Modules, i.e. - Light and Appliance Modules, ON/OFF. The X10 Command can also be used, as a trigger, to initiate Macros in the CM15A, ActiveHome Two-Way Computer

Interface Module. This would allow for complex routines to be executed as soon as the MS16A detects motion. The MS16A can be used indoors as well.

Specific Requirements:

2 - AAA Batteries, TM751 - RF Base Transceiver Module

Optional / Supplementary Devices & Modules:

SC546A - Chime, WS467 -Wall Switch, LM465 - Lamp Module

X10 Protocol: House Code Dial - Letters A-P, Default "A" Unit Number Dial - Numbers 1-16, Default "1" Each X10 Receiver Module is set to a unique Unit Number or to

an identical Unit Number as desired. Each X10 Controller operating a specific set of Receiver Modules must be set to the same House Code as the Receivers they are

controlling.

Electrical Protocol:

Nearly all residential homes are wired SPLIT-PHASE. Each 120V Phase is NOT directly connected with the other 120V phase. If after installation, an X10 Receiver does not

respond to a remote Controller, then check to ensure that the breaker serving the X10 Receiver is on the same phase as the Controller. If not, the breaker can be changed to

the opposite phase. An alternative solution is recommended, to install a Phase Coupler for improving remote communications throughout the home.

Installation: Setting up the MS16A:

1. Remove the battery cover on the front of the MS16A and install two AAA alkaline batteries. Initially the MS16A defaults to House Code "A" and Unit Code "1" and

defaults to See Motion, all the time (24hrs).

2. Plug-in an X10 RF Base Transceiver (TM751 -sold separately), set the House Code to "A".

3. Install or plug-in an X10 Receiver Module, for Light Appliance control, and set the Receiver Module to House Code "A" / Unit Code "1".

Testing the MS16A:

1. Press the House button once, the MS16A will transmit an RF X10 ON Command and the Red LED will flash.

2. Press the Unit button once, the MS16A will transmit an RF X10 OFF Command and the Red LED will flash. (The default setting is "A1" ).

3. Place the Sensor on a shelf or mount it on a wall at least 6 feet above the ground and let it settle for at least 1 minute (default) with no motion before activation.

Changing the House and Unit Codes:

1. Press and hold the House Code button, the Red LED flashes first, goes off and then blinks the current setting.

2. Release and press the desired number of times for the House Code that you want (once for A, twice for B, etc.).

3. Hold the House Code button on the last press; after 3 seconds the Red LED will blink the amount of times to confirm your settings.

Note: For Unit Code changes, perform the same as above but using the Unit Code button.

Motion Detection only after Dusk or 24 hours:

This section configures the MS16A to send the ON Command at dusk (no light) and the OFF Command at dawn (any light) for the Unit Code one number higher than the

current Unit Code setting (i.e., MS16A set to A1 will control A2 when dawn/dusk is detected). When battery power is initially applied to the MS16A, this feature is disabled.

This section also configures the MS16A to detect motion at all times or only at night. The default setting is to detect motion at all times.

1. Press the UNIT/OFF button once.

2. The red LED flashes.

3. Press and hold the HOUSE/ON button.

4. The green LED (located behind the sensor window) turns on the following:

5. A few seconds later, the MS16A reports its current setting. Release the button. The number of blinks reported by the MS16A represent the following:

6. If you do not wish to change the current setting, take no further action at this point. A few seconds later, the MS16A will timeout. The MS16A will indicate this to you by

displaying a sustained blink (slightly longer than the report blinks).

7. To change the current setting, first select the Dawn/Dusk and MotionDetection settings you wishto use from the chart above and remember the blink value listedto the

left of them (i.e. for dawn/dusk detection enabled and detect motion only at night there are 4 blinks). Determine the setting you wish to use before starting the

programming procedure because the MS16A will only wait a few seconds after it has finished reporting its current setting for you to begin entering the new setting.

8. Press the HOUSE/ON button the number of times equal to the blink value in the chart above. Hold the button down on the last press (i.e. for a setting of dawn/dusk

detection enabled and detect motion only at night, press the HOUSE/ON button 4 times and hold on the last press).

9. A few seconds later, the red LED will blink the new setting.

10. If the programming fails, the red LED will display a sustained blink (slightly longer than the report blinks). This can occur if you wait too long to start your programming,

you press the button more than 2 times, or you press the UNIT/OFF button. If the programming procedure fails, you must start the procedure over.

Delay after Motion before an OFF command is sent:

When no motion is detected, the default amount of time that will pass before the OFF Command is transmitted is Analog; i.e., the setting on the Top Dial (under the rubber

plug on the top of the MS16A). The dial adjusts the delay range from 1 minute to 60 minutes. The following procedure allows you to alter this setting.

1. Press the House button once, the Red LED flashes.

2. Press and hold the Unit button, the Green LED turns ON. 3 seconds later, the Red LED will report the setting as follows: -1 blink for Analog Dial 1-60 Mins. -6 blinks for

32 minutes. -2 blinks for 2 minutes. -7 blinks for 64 minutes. -3 blinks for4 minutes. -8 blinks for 128 minutes. -4 blinksfor 8 minutes. -9 blinks for 256 minutes. -5 blinks

for 16 minutes.

Note: When the setting is 2 blinks or higher, the dial on top of the MS16A is disabled.

3. If you do not wish to change the current setting, take no further action at this point. A few seconds later, the MS16A will timeout. The MS16A will indicate this to you by

displaying a sustained blink (slightly longer than the report blinks).

4. To change the current setting, first select the delay time you wish to use from the chart above and remember the blink value listed to the left of it

(i.e. for 64 minutes there are 7 blinks).Determine the time you wish to use before starting the programming procedure because the MS16A will only wait a fewseconds

after it has finished reporting its current setting for you to begin entering the new setting.

5. Press the UNIT/OFF buttonthe number of times equalto the blink value in thechart above. Hold the button down on the last press (i.e. for a setting of 64 minutes, press

the UNIT/OFF button 7 times and hold on the last press).

6. A few seconds later, the red LED will blink the new setting.

7. If the programming fails, the red LED will display a sustained blink (slightly longer than the report blinks). This can occur if you wait too long to start your programming,

you press the button more than 2 times, or you press the HOUSE/ON button. If the programming procedure fails, you must start the procedure over.

Sensor Detection vs. Direction of Motion

For best detection results, mount the MS16A sothe person entering the area will cut acrossthe MS16A's field of view. Do not mount thePMS 03 near hot orcold sources (i.e.

heat vents, air conditioners, direct or reflected sunlight) as this may cause false triggering of the MS16A. Sensor's fields of view are 90 Degrees Horizontally, 30 Degrees

Vertically and detection range is approximately 20Ft.

DEFAULTS:

After replacing batteries, please wait 30 seconds before the MS16A will see any motion. After transmission, you need to wait 10 seconds before the MS16A will see motion

again. The default House & Unit Codes for Motion Detection is: "A1" ON.

The default for Motion Detection is: detect at all times (24 HOUR).

The default for Time Out, that "A1" OFF is sent is: 1 minute.

The default House/Unit Codes for Dusk/Dawn, is: "A2" ON at Dusk, "A2" OFF at Dawn.

Note: As with all RF transmitter devices; electrical fields, metal doors or door window frames and appliances can cause interference that can decrease the strength of the

transmitted signal. Re-locating the TM751 RF Base Transceiver may increase your ability to receive the necessary X10 Signals from the MS16A.
