The
DS10 door/window sensor works with any X-10 security system.
This sensor sends a wireless radio frequency signal to the
main console when a door or window is opened.
When the system is not
armed, the console chimes when a door or window is opened.
When the system is armed, the alarm is tripped when a door or
window is opened. A delay switch on the front of the door/window
sensor lets you select if an alarm is tripped immediately,
when the door or window is opened, or after a preset entry
delay when the system is armed in delay mode.
The sensor sends a
"self-checking" transmission approximately every 90
minutes. The console will not arm if a door/window sensor
hasn't reported in or if a door or window is opened (can be
overdriven by pressing the console's Accept Button).
You can protect more
than one door or window from a single sensor by installing
additional magnetic switches. Simply loop the switches in
series from one door or window to the next (using any suitable
wire).
This sensor can also be
used as a universal transmitter: instead of the magnetic
switch, connect to the two screw terminal any kind of detector
you want as glass break detector, smoke detector, etc.
