Mounting the HSP01
The PIR Detector is suitable for mounting in dry interior locations only.
The recommended position for a PIR Detector is in the corner of a room mounted at
a height between 1.8 and 2m. At this height, the detector will have a maximum
range of up to 10m with a field of view of 110
°
and the position of the PCB set at 5.
The position of the PCB inside the PIR can be set to 5 different positions to adjust
the range of the detector. Setting the PCB in position 3 will reduce the range to
approximately 6m, with position 1 providing a range of approximately 3m. The
recommended position for the PCB is position 5.

When considering and deciding upon the mounting position for the detector, the
following points should be considered to ensure a trouble free operation:
1. Do not install the detector facing a window, exposed to or facing direct sunlight.
PIR Detectors are not suitable for use in conservatories.
2. Do not install the detector exposed to ventilators or above a heat source (e.g.
fire, radiators, boilers)
3. Where possible, mount the detector in the corner of the room so that the path of
an intruder would cut across the fan detection pattern. PIR detectors respond
more effectively to movement across the device than to movement directly
towards it.
Less Sensitive More Sensitive
5. Do not install the detector in a position where it is subject to excessive vibration.
6. Ensure that the position selected for the PIR Detector is within effective range of
the system (please refer to the Troubleshooting section).
Note
: When the system is armed, household pets should not be allowed into an
area protected by a PIR Detector as their movement would trigger the PIR and
generate an alarm.
Installation
1. Using a 3mm drill, carefully drill out the required mounting holes in the rear
cover according to whether the unit is being mounted in a corner or against a
flat wall.
Note:
Drill 1
st
mounting hole positions to fulfill corner mounting installation, and
2
nd
mounting hole positions for flat wall installation.
Corner mounting
3. Using the rear cover as a template, mark the positions of the fixing holes on the
wall.
4. Fix the rear cover to the wall using the two 18mm No.4 screws and 25mm wall
plugs (a 5mm hole will be required for the wall plugs). Do not over-tighten the
fixing screws as this may distort or damage the cover.
5. Check that the detector PCB is located and set in the correct position to provide
the required detection range. To adjust the PCB position, simply slide it up or
down ensuring that the location legs are aligned with the required position
number marked on the board.
6. Refit the detector to the rear cover and locate the clips in the top edge into the
rear cover. Push the lower edge of the detector into place and refit the fixing
screw in the bottom edge of the detector to secure in position. Do not
over-tighten the fixing screws as this may damage the casing.
