X10 RF PIR - MS13E "Hawkeye"
Make your lights turn on when you walk into a room !
Powered by 2 x AAA batteries, this RF PIR is a must if you don't
want to re-wire. Simply select which Address and House Code you
want, fit some batteries, then attach to a wall/ceiling.
The unit is programmable so it is possible to make it only detect
when it is dark or to detect all the time. It is also possible
to set a delay, so that when it sends an "On" it can delay between
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 minutes before sending an
"Off" command. Finally the unit can be used to sense dawn/dusk,
and could be used to control lights accordingly.
The unit sends RF (radio) signals to an optional X10 RF receiver
( TM12). The TM12U will then send the X10 signal down the mains
line, to an awaiting X10 receiver (like an AM12, LM12, LW10 or
AW10. It can be used either inside or outside.
The picture on the right shows the size of the MS13 when compared
to a 3.5" floppy disc. As you can see the unit is very small,
and can be placed in a room virtually unnoticed.
The MS13E has been recently redesigned and now has an aerial that
is detachable from the top of the unit. This gives the unit greater
range.
We have tested the practical RF operating range (the distance
between the MS13 and a TM12) and it is approximately 25 feet,
however your own mounting/circumstances may mean the range is
slightly shorter or longer.
For use in-doors, or in sheltered outdoor positions where it will
not come into contact with rainfull/moisture.
