X10 Wireless Technology Home Security System MS15A User Manual

Set-Up and Operating Instructions for ActiveEYE Motion Detectors  
Models MS15A (Indoor) and MS16A (Indoor/Outdoor)  
The ActiveEYE Motion Detector sends Wireless Radio Frequency (RF) signals to an X10 Transceiver (RR501 or  
TM751). The receiver then passes the signals onto your house wiring to turn on lights, appliances, or X10 wireless  
cameras around your home. You plug your lights and appliances into X10 Modules (sold separately). You can set  
the ActiveEYE to turn the lights or cameras off after motion stops. You can set this for a preset time of 2, 4, 8  
minutes etc. (see below for more details) or you can set any variable delay you like (1 minute min. to 60 minutes  
max.) using the NEW easy to set dial on the top of the unit. The ActiveEYE also works with the CM11A Two-  
Way Computer Interface to initiate macros (routines) so you can set up a “coming home” routine which is initiated  
by the ActiveEYE as soon as it “sees” you.  
Note: The default state is to turn lights on when the ActiveEYE detects motion at all times (even if it's not dark).  
But you can also set it to turn lights on when it detects motion only at night. It can also turn lights on at dusk and  
off at dawn, but this feature is disabled by default (see other side of sheet to enable). If you enable this feature,  
care should be taken to place the ActiveEYE where it sees plenty of sunlight during the day (such as near a  
window). If you place it in a dark corner it might not be able to tell the difference between day time and night time.  
Care should also be taken not to place the ActiveEYE near the light it is controlling, otherwise when the light turns  
on it might “fool” the ActiveEYE into thinking it’s daytime!  
Remove the screw from the front of the unit (MS16A only). Remove the battery cover and install two AAA  
alkaline batteries. Leave the cover off for now. The unit defaults to Housecode A and Unit Code 1, and it defaults  
to see motion at all times - day and night, so plug in an X10 RF Transceiver (model RR501 or TM751, each sold  
separately) and set it to Housecode A. Plug a lamp into an X10 Lamp Module (sold separately) and set it to  
Housecode A and Unit Code 1. Plug the module into any AC outlet.  
To test the ActiveEYE: Press the House button once. The ActiveEYE transmits the “device ON” RF signal  
and the red light flashes. Press the Unit button once. The ActiveEYE transmits the “device OFF” RF signal and  
the red light flashes. (The default setting is A1). Replace the battery cover.  
Place the ActiveEYE on a shelf or mount it on a wall at least 6 feet above the ground. Let it settle for a minute  
and then walk past it. The lamp connected to any X10 Module set to A1 turns on. The light turns off a short time  
later as long as no motion has been detected. The default time is the setting on the dial on the top of the unit so you  
can adjust this to suit your preference (1 minute min. to 60 minutes max.). You will also see later that you can set  
this for a specific predetermined time. For outdoor use, remove the batteries, screw the MS16A to a wall and  
replace the batteries. Refit the cover and screw.  
To change the delay after motion is detected before an OFF code is transmitted:  
Press the House/On button once. The red light flashes. Press and hold the Unit/Off button. The green light turns  
on. 3 seconds later the red light reports its delay setting as follows:  
1 blink for Analog setting, i.e. the setting on the dial on the top of the unit. 2 blinks for 2 minutes. 3 blinks for 4  
minutes. 4 blinks for 8 minutes. 5 blinks for 16 minutes. 6 blinks for 32 minutes. 7 blinks for 64 minutes. 8 blinks for  
128 minutes. 9 blinks for 256 minutes.  
To change this, Press the House/On button once. The red light flashes. Press and hold the Unit/Off button. The  
green light turns on. 3 seconds later the red light reports its delay setting, as listed above. Release and immediately  
press the Unit/Off button the number of times for the delay you want, as listed above. Hold the button pressed  
for 3 seconds on the last press. The red light then reports the setting with the appropriate number of blinks as  
above. Release the button. Note: for settings of 2 blinks or higher, the dial on the top of the unit is disabled.  
To change the Unit Code that the ActiveEYE transmits: Press and hold the Unit/Off button (under the  
battery compartment lid) the red light flashes first and then blinks the current setting. Release and immediately  
press the button the desired number of times for the Unit Code you want to set. Hold the button for 3 seconds  
on the last press. The red light blinks back the number of times for the code you set. Release the button.
