For maximum pet immunity the following guidelines are recommended:
•
Mount the center of the detector at a height of 2.0m.
•
Do not aim the detector at stairways that can be climbed by an animal.
•
Avoid a location where an animal can come within 1.8m (6') of the detector by
climbing on furniture, boxes or other objects.
Installation Procedure
To install PIR detectors:
1.
Open the housing by removing the front cover. To do so, insert a screwdriver in the
release slot (located at the bottom of the detector between the front and back cover). Turn
the screwdriver 90º to release the cover.
2. Remove the PCB by turning counter-clockwise and removing the 'PCB Screw'.
Do not touch the face of the PYRO sensor.
3. Apply battery power by removing the isolator that separates the battery from the
contacts on the battery holder.
4. From the Programming menu, select Devices, Zones [911] and select the zone to which
you want to register the transmitter.
5. Cause a Tamper or Alarm transmission and wait for the receiver to indicate that the
transmitter has been registered successfully. When Save? appears on the Control
System’s LCD display, press '
√ʹ. Write the number of the zone and the transmi$er
number (if applicable) on the sticker provided. Affix the sticker inside the front cover for
future reference.
Alternatively, the Detector can be registered to the receiver by manually entering the
transmitter's serial number.
6. Choose an appropriate mounting height from 2.2 – 2.5 and test the transmitter from the
exact mounting position before permanently mounting the unit.
♦ If you choose mounting height other than recommended (which is not advised), please
perform a walk test to check the lens coverage. The recommended mounting height is the
best in terms of detection area.
7. Knock out the mounting holes and attach the base to the wall.
8. If using the rear tamper switch, insert a screw into the rear tamper mounting hole located
in the center of the back cover. When the detector is removed from the wall, the screw
causes the tamper release to break away from the back cover and the rear tamper switch
is released.
