X10 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) Radio Shack told me I could use a PF284 Burglar Alarm Interface (R.S. 61-2687) to trigger a module which controls an outdoor siren but X10 says I can't. Why not? Most security panels have an output which gives a contact closure to trip a dialer or remote siren etc. This contact closure could be used to trigger the Burglar Alarm Interface PF284 (R.S. Universal Interface Cat. No. 61-2687 CMC). This contact closure could cause the interface to send a specific Unit Code signal to trip the UM506/61-2688 which in turn could activate a low voltage siren at a remote location. Or the PF284 could turn on an Appliance Module to activate a 120V AC siren. However, this is for "other" security panels, not X10 or Plug 'n Power Security Systems (which transmit All Lights On). The All Lights On signals transmitted by the X10 system interferes with the signals transmitted by the PF284. |
