OK, but if I have my RR501 in here with me to use as I normally do with my computer, and a CM11 or CM751 plugged in outside in the shed, If I set the MS to A7 shouldn't the outside CM11 or 15 send a PLC to turn on my A7?

Wow did it hurt to say that! 

Hurts to read it also. What is a CM751?
What do you mean: "If I set the MS to A7 shouldn't the outside CM11 or 15 send a PLC to turn on my A7?"

Do you mean trigger a "A7 macro" in the CM11 or CM15?? Yes IF the PLC signal from the RR501 is actually getting to the shed (CM11/CM15 location). Brian H makes it clear.

BTW RR501 and TM751, DO NOT pick up signal and transceive to PLC the RF signals from the MS10 security system sensors. If that is what you are using as motion sensors, that is the problem. The RR501, TM751 only work with the xxxxEye motion sensors (MS12, MS13, MS14, MS15, MS16).

The CM11A has no RF receiver in it so it can't receive any motion sensor commands.

That was the problem!!!   
Thank you! 

I forget what attracted me to the CM11A.
I have an old HD501 in the shed and it will turn on the lights with the MS.
I'm still faced with one problem. I want the lights on for about 5 minutes, (or just enough time for me to aim, ar ar) then turn off until the next burglar walks by.
Any ideas?

[gg4000]

oh... a TM751

It's working. The only thing I can think of to shut them down was to program a lot of timers. Every 15 minutes a PLC off command goes out from the computer.
YUK...

[gg4000]

I have the fix to repeat the MS10A that's too far from the CM19A.

MS is A7
MS get's sent to a TM751. TM sends the PLC A7 on.

Will use a A7 AM486 in the house near the CM19A.

A RELAY!!!  will plug into the AM.
The contacts will be wired to a DS12A. 

DS12A will set the macro to control the lights the way I want....

20 minutes until Radio Shack is open..

MS10A?. Is a Security Motion Sensor and the TM751 or RR501 will not process it at all.

Your CM19A or CM15A may process it if you have one of the Plug Ins that adds Security Sensor Support.
I know On Alert does. There maybe others.

[gg4000]

It must be a MS12A out there.

[Brian H]

Could be. The original Hawkeye was a MS12A. That one is not weather resistant.

I just installed a XPFM on my ceiling fan.
The first on command worked. Now I can't turn it off. It clicks twice as if "off on". 
An ideas?
It's gettin COLD! 
Thanks

Common problem if fan is on medium or low speed. Less common for fan to do it on high speed. 33K ohm 3 watt resistor across the fan motor leads will fix.

Welps, My 33k 3 watt resistors arrived. E-bay ordered 33k 3 watt, Package reads 33k, Not even one orange stripe on the resistor. 
Think it was Green blue gold gold. Measured with my Fluke, 5.7 ohms.    3 3 k where are you?

[Brian H]

Ouch. Green Blue Gold Gold is 5.6 ohms. Probably smoke or make a big BANG if you tied it across the load when turned On.

to buy parts, you can try www.digi-key.com  they have a lot of parts in stock, it`s unbelievable, youi certainly find the 33K resistor you need

It`s a bit  more expensive but they ship overnight and you are sure to have the right part ,  if you want the shipping free, you have an minimum order. 

Hope it will help
