Home Management System

The home managment systems described on the following pages are now part of the OnQ product offering. These systems provide a comprehensive set of security features as well as lighting, HVAC and low voltage device control. Two systems are available - the HMS 925 provides basic security and home management features, and the HMS 1050 provides an enhanced set of home management features. A capacity and feature matrix is shown on the following page.

Both systems offer the following features:

Security: These systems can handle up to 96 zones, (HMS 1050) with optional wireless sensor capability. They can be partitioned, and accept multiple keypads. The systems have dial-out capability via an RJ-31x interface, and are UL listed. A complete security system will require sensors and alerting devices, which are available from other sources.

Lighting Control: Each panel can control lighting circuits equiped either with X-10 modules (available from other sources) or Lighting Control (ALC) modules. Lights can be controlled in response to an alarm event, by some other triggering event, by time of day, and remotely via the telephone.

HVAC Control: OnQ two-way communicating thermostats can be connected to the system for temperature control based on day and time as well as house occupancy/alarming status. The thermostats can also be read and adjusted remotely from any telephone. Temperature sensors can be connected to the system, and the system can be programmed to dial out to a monitoring station when the temperature drops too low. This can be especially useful at a vacation cottage which is not normally occupied.

Auxiliary Device Control: Relay modules allow the system to control devices such as lawn sprinkler systems, entry gates and garage doors. It is even possible to shut down the furnace fan in the event of a fire alarm, to minimize the spread of smoke through the house.

The various components of the Home Management System are described below.

Home Management System Modules
 
Select either the HMS 925 or the HMS 1050 as the heart of an advanced security and home management system. These modules install in the lower portion of an OnQ System 28" or 42" enclosure. The listed battery and power transformer are required with either module. Alternatively, you can install the HMS 925 or HMS 1050 module in the 14" OnQ System enclosure. If installed in this manner, no other OnQ System structured wiring modules can be installed in the 14" enclosure.
