Battery
IR-32 Series PIR Motion sensor uses Alkaline or Lithium batteries as power source:
The IR-32 model uses two Alkaline AA 1.5 V batteries as power source.
The IR-32SL model uses one CR123 3V Lithium battery as power source.
The PIR features low battery detection function. If low battery voltage is detected, a low battery signal will be sent to the Control Panel
along with regular signal transmissions for the Control Panel to display the status accordingly.
For each installation, the batteries are installed in by the factory before shipment with an Insulator inserted.
<NOTE>
When changing batteries, after removing the old batteries, press the Tamper Switch twice to fully discharge before inserting new
batteries.
Tamper Protection
The PIR is protected by a tamper switch which is compressed when the PIR is properly installed. When the PIR is removed from mounted
surface or mounting bracket, or its cover opened, the tamper switch will be activated and the PIR will send a tamper open signal to the
system control panel to remind the user of the condition. If movement is detected when the tamper switch is open, the LED will light up.
Supervision Function
When the PIR is in Normal operation mode, it will conduct a Self-test Periodically by transmitting a supervisory signal once every 15 to 18
minutes.
If the Control Panel fails to receive the Supervisory signals transmitted from a certain PIR for a preset time, an “
Out-Of-Orde
r” fault
message will be generated.
Test Mode
The PIR can be put into Test mode by pressing the Test Button. In Test mode, it will disable the sleep timer and will enable the LED indicator
to light up every time a movement is detected. Every time the Test Button is pressed, the PIR will transmit a test signal to the Control Panel
for radio range test and enter the test mode for 3 mins. Test Mode will time out after 3 minutes.
Sleep Timer
The PIR has a “
sleep time
” of approximately 1 minute to conserve power. After transmitting a detected movement, the PIR will not
retransmit for 1 minute; any further movement detected during this sleep period will extend the sleep time by another minute. In this way
continuous movement in front of a PIR will not unduly exhaust the battery.
Pet Immunity Function
The PIR sensor supports pet immunity feature and will not detect pets of up to 25 kg to minimize false alarm situation.
The Pet Immunity function can be enabled/disabled by setting the Jumper Switch (JP3) position. When the Jumper Switch (JP3) is set to
ON, Pet Immunity is disabled. When the Jumper Switch (JP3) is set to OFF, Pet Immunity is enabled. (Factory default).
Sensitivity Increaser Function
You can use the sensitivity increaser function to increase the PIR’s detection sensitivity. To increase detection sensitivity, set the Jumper
Switch (JP4) to ON. To maintain normal detection sensitivity, set the the Jumper Switch (JP4) to OFF (Factory default).
Remote Setting
The PIR motion sensor supports remote setting of pet Immunity and sensitivity.
When the PIR is powered on, its pet immunity function and sensitivity are determined by the JP3 and JP4 settings. Users can either
adjust jumper settings or remotely change the pet immunity and sensitivity settings from the Control Panel. Remote setting will
overwrite jumper settings.
Getting Started
Pull out the battery insulator to activate batteries.
The LED indicator will flash for 30 seconds. (The PIR is warming up). During the warm up period, the PIR will not be activated. After
the warm up period is over, the LED will turn off and the PIR will be ready for operation.
Put the Control Panel into learning mode, refer to Control Panel manual for details.
Press the test button.
Refer to Control Panel manual to complete the learn-in process.
After the PIR is learnt-in, put the Control Panel into “
Walk Test
” mode, hold the PIR in the desired location, and press the Test
button to confirm this location is within signal range of the Control Panel, refer to Control Panel manual to complete Walk Test.
When you are satisfied that the PIR works in the chosen location, you can proceed to mounting.
Installation
Installation Guideline
The PIR is designed to be mounted on either a flat surface or in a corner situation.
The detection range is up to 12 meters if the PIR is mounted 2.3-2.5 meters above ground.
When Pet-Immunity function is enabled, the PIR will not detect pets up to 25kg when mounted at 2.3-2.5 meters above ground. If
required, you can adjust the height of the PIR according to the size of your pet for optimal pet immune performance. Higher
installation location will provide larger pet-immune space, but also increases the blind spot under the PIR.
When the PIR is mounted with rotating bracket, it will not have the regular detection area (as in the diagram), or the typical pet
immune range.
After the installation site is selected, press the Test Button to enter Test Mode. Walk around the protected area noting when the LED
lights up and check that the detection coverage is adequate.
When detection coverage is found to be satisfying, follow the steps described in
Mounting Method
section below to mount the PIR.
