Outdoor temperature zones have a HI and LO temperature associated with them that can be used for control purposes. An example where the bathroom heat is turned on if the outdoor temp goes below 60 degrees is shown in the PROGRAM- MING section. HI and LO tempera- tures are changed the same way as the PESM.

The outdoor temperature is an- nunciated over the telephone as part of the status menu (main menu selection 6). It is also annunci- ated through the home control menu after the unit number is entered.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF

APPLIANCES

You can control appliances con- nected to X-10 modules (such as a ceiling fan) using the BUTTONS feature of the Model 1503. For example, the ceiling fan can be programmed to come on if the tem- perature goes above the HI tempera- ture. (A programming example to set this up is shown in the PROGRAMMING section.)

HI and LO setpoints for tempera- ture zones are changed the same way as the PESM. Use the zone number of the PESM for “unit number” when changing the HI and LO setpoints. However, on/off control of the ceiling fan may involve a different unit number. Use the ceiling fan's unit number to turn it ON or OFF. The PESM and the ceiling fan are linked together by a button pro- gram.

TEMPERATURE ALARMS

Temperature sensors can be used to signal that a temperature (in a special room, like a greenhouse or wine cooler) has gotten too high or too low. If the temperature in this zone goes above the HI setpoint or below the LO setpoint, the console beeper is activated (inside and outside sirens are not activated) and the central station and/or voice dialer is called.

The HI and LO setpoints are changed as described for the PESM. Use the zone number that the tem- perature sensor is connected to in place of the unit number.

NOTE: Setting a LO or HI tem- perature to 0 takes it out of ser- vice.

DIRECT RELAY CONTROL

The Model 1503 has three outputs that can be used to switch relays. Two are Auxiliary Outputs 1 and 2, and they are available only if not used by a Model 1101 PESM. The third is the OK TO ARM output, which can be reassigned from that function to a general purpose out- put by your dealer.

Auxiliary Outputs 1, 2 and the OK TO ARM output (if reassigned) are controlled as UNIT NUMBER 17, 18 and 19 respectively. These are hardwired outputs that are con- nected directly through the Model 1503 and not through a module. If you have had something connected to
