In order to link a standard security system to your Home
Automation system, an interface is required.
The Power Flasher is designed to perform this function.
It connects to a standard alarm system and sends X-10
codes on the 220 volt power line when an alarm is tripped.
Provided with 3 selectable programs
Triggered by a contact closure or a low voltage input.

|
|
| Connects to an existing alarm system
and turns on lights when an alarm trips. It has 3 modes of operation: |
|
In mode 3
The Power Flasher will turn On all lamp and wall
switch modules set to the same House code as the interface.
All lamp and wall switch modules will be left in the On state
when the alarm is de-activated. Mode 3 is the same as Mode
1 except that the interface does not send the code to turn
on modules set to the same Unit code setting on the interface.
Set the input switch to A for triggering the interface by
a low voltage input (6-8V AC, DC or audio) or B for triggering
the interface by a dry contact closure as is the case when
connecting to an alarm system.
|
In mode
1
The Power Flasher will turn On all Lamp modules and
Wall Switch Modules set to its House code and will also turn
On any other Modules set to its Unit code, a stereo connected
to an appliance module for example.
All Lamp modules and wall switch modules are left in the On
state when the alarm system is de-activated but the module set
to the same Unit code as the Power Flasher will be turned Off.
|
|
In mode 2
The Power Flasher will flash all lights connected
to Lamp or wall switch modules.
All lamp and wall switch modules will be left in the On state
when the alarm has been de-activated.

|
The Power Flasher has a test button
which allows you to activate it whether or not it is connected
to an alarm system. the All light off button allows you
to turn off anything which has been turned on by the interface. |
| Typical
applications: |
Flash all the lights in your home
when your existing burglar alarm trips
Blast your stereo when your alarm trips.
Connect the Power Flasher to a magnetic switch to turn on lights
when a door or window opens, in cases where you have no alarm
system.
Trigger it from sensors such as a photo cell to turn on lights
when it gets dark, from a motion detector to turn on lights
when someone enters a room, from a microphone to turn on lights
or appliance when a sound from an intruder is detected, from
a moisture sensor to sound an alarm if your basement is flooded,
from a garage door opener to turn on lights when you open your
garage door, etc... |
