Motion Detector, Model MS10A Set Up and Operating Instructions

Installation

1. Install four AA alkaline batteries in the battery compartment on the MS10A. Observe polarity.

4.Set the slide switch on the back of the MS10A to 1 to trip the alarm if only one movement is detected (most sensitive). Set to 2 to trip the alarm only after 2 movements are detected (helps prevent false alarms).

4.Press the CODE button on the back of the MS10A with the point of a pencil.

5.Set the INSTALL/RUN switch on the Security Console to INSTALL.

6.Press TEST on the MS10A. The Console emits a tone and the next unused zone indicator lights up.

7.Set the Console's slide switch back toRUN1 or RUN2.

8.To set up additional Motion Detectors (up to 16*) repeat the above steps.

*Note: you can install a total of 16 zones in the Console. This can be a combination of Door/Window Sensors and Motion Detectors. E.G. 8 Door/Window Sensors AND 8 Motion Detectors. See your Security System Owner’s Manual for more information.

P.I.R MOTION DETECTOR

Operation

When the Security System is armed using a Key Chain Remote the Motion Detector will always trip the alarm when it sees motion. When the system is armed using an SH624 Remote Control it can be armed in the Home or Away mode. When armed in the Home mode, Motion Detectors will NOT trip the alarm.

Place the Motion Detector on a bookshelf, or attach it to a wall about 6 feet off the ground, using the supplied mounting bracket. Wait about 45 seconds for the Motion Detector to settle then walk past it.

If the Console is NOT armed and in the RUN2 mode, you will hear a chime. If the Console IS armed the Motion Detector will trip the alarm and sound the siren.

After you walk past the Motion Detector, it will not see motion again for about a minute (conserves battery power).

Replacing batteries

Slide the battery compartment cover off and replace the battery with a 9V alkaline type. After replacing the battery, the following steps are necessary to determine that the Console still recognizes the MS10A.

1.Place the Console’s slide switch to RUN2.

2.Press TEST on the MS10A. If the Console chimes, it recognizes the MS10A and no further action is necessary.

If the Console did not chime:

1.Place the Console’s slide switch to INSTALL.

2.Press TEST on the MS10A. The MS10A’s red indicator light flashes, and MS10A transmits a random code to the console. The Console acknowledges this with a beep and logs in the MS10A to the next available zone. To make sure the Console logs the MS10A back into the same zone it was allocated to before you changed the battery, wait 4 hours after removing the old battery before reinstalling (until the zone indicator on the Console starts flashing).

MS10A specifications

X10 Wireless Technology has been a pioneer in the field of home automation, and one of its standout products is the MS10A motion sensor. This device is designed to enhance security and convenience in any residential setting, making it a popular choice for those looking to automate their homes.

The MS10A is an advanced motion sensor that utilizes passive infrared (PIR) technology. This technology allows the sensor to detect heat emitted by objects, particularly living beings, within its field of view. When motion is detected, the MS10A can send a signal to a compatible X10 controller or module, triggering a variety of actions such as turning on lights or sending alerts to a homeowner's smartphone.

One of the main features of the MS10A is its wireless capability. The sensor operates on a frequency that enables it to communicate wirelessly with other X10 devices, eliminating the need for complex wiring setups. This aspect not only makes installation easier but also provides flexibility in positioning the sensor, allowing homeowners to monitor specific areas without being constrained by electrical outlets or wiring.

The MS10A motion sensor has a range that can cover up to 20 feet, making it effective for monitoring entrances, driveways, or areas within the home. It has an adjustable sensitivity level, allowing users to customize how responsive the sensor is to movement. This feature is particularly useful in homes with pets or where excessive movement may trigger false alarms.

Battery-powered for added convenience, the MS10A offers easy maintenance. Users can quickly replace the batteries as needed without the hassle of electrical sockets or hard wiring. Additionally, the sensor is designed for outdoor use, with a weather-resistant enclosure that allows it to withstand various environmental conditions.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the MS10A is its compatibility with a variety of X10 systems. This interoperability allows homeowners to integrate the motion sensor seamlessly with existing security cameras, lighting controls, and other automation devices, creating a comprehensive and cohesive home automation experience.

Overall, the X10 Wireless Technology MS10A motion sensor is an excellent choice for homeowners looking to bolster security and enhance automation. With its PIR technology, wireless communication, and ease of installation, it stands out as a reliable solution for protecting one’s home while providing modern convenience.
