Not Compatible/Interchangeable Nov 26, 2011
By J. Myer
To get this siren to work with just an X10 transceiver and an X10 motion detector (ie. MS13A-C or MS16A), which is what you would expect to need for a security alarm, you will be disappointed. You can manually press the ON button on the motion detector a number of times sequentially, and the alarm will sound. The alarm will sound for a longer period of time in response to additional sequential pressing the ON button. This is not what I had in mind.
I am not certain what the product description was on the exact date of my purchase, but on 28Nov2011 it reads: "A compact 105dB siren for use with any of the X10 security systems and personal assistance systems." Do not interpret this to mean that it will work with any X10 motion sensor. Apparently the transceivers can send a signal that would activate this siren, but the difficulty is in finding a device that will send the proper signal.
Purchasing a separate siren and plugging it into an appliance module using a DC adapter is a possible option. But, you will still need a means of remotely arming/disarming the system. This can be done by plugging your X10 transceiver into an auxillary power outlet that is controlled by remote. There are a variety of such devices available on Amazon. But when the system does activate, you will still need a means of shutting off the devices. You can get a simple X10 keychain remote to send an OFF signal, but now you will have two separate remotes to contend with. I also put a separate ON/OFF switch at the receptacle end of the appliance module to be able to turn off the siren without having to unplug it.
I bought a bunch of X10 modules thinking I could use them with these sirens. Don't be fooled. I even found an old Pro2000(PSC09C) security panel, but could not set *it* up because it required a remote monitoring system.
X10 needs to add features for remote ON/OFF to their motion sensors, and make all their motion sensors and alarms compatible. It just does not make sense to sell motion detectors and alarms that are not compatible.
As it stands, my system has two sirens, floodlights, a window screen attached to an electric fence energizer, an electronic dog barking perimeter, and a security camera with DVR. I am also configuring an MP3 siren to work with my own MP3 or WAV file for an additional customized barking dog response.
Too bad I could not get these sirens to work. And, after weeks of emails, the vendor has yet to respond to my return request.
