Indoor/Outdoor PIR Motion Sensors

Installation Instructions

Introduction

This is the GE 

Indoor/Outdoor PIR Motion Sensors Installation 

Instructions

 for model numbers:

• 60-639-95R (indoor)
• 60-639-95R-OD (outdoor)
• 60-639-43-EUR (indoor, not investigated for use by UL)
• 60-639-43-ERT-OD (outdoor, not investigated for use by 

UL)

Passive-infrared (PIR) motion sensors detect movement within a 
specific area by sensing the infrared energy emitted from a body 
as it moves across the sensor’s field of view, causing a tempera-
ture change in the sensor’s zones. When the sensor detects this 
motion, it transmits an alarm signal to the control panel.
Use the indoor sensors to protect large areas and open floor plans 
or as backup protection for door/window sensors.
Use the outdoor sensors to identify motion in a protected outdoor 
area. Detected motion in this protected area can sound chimes or 
turn on outside lights. Do not use the outdoor sensors for intru-
sion protection.
Features include:

• 35 by 40 ft. (10.7 x 12.2 m) coverage area for standard and 

optional pet alley lenses;

• masking kit to block portions of the coverage area;
• three-minute transmitter lockout time after an alarm to 

extend battery life;

• cover-activated tamper (an optional wall-activated tamper is 

provided);

• supervisory signal transmitted every 64 minutes to the 

control panel;

• sensor low battery reports (trouble) to the control panel; and
• field-selectable sensitivity options.

Indoor sensor installation

Use the following installation guidelines:

• If possible, mount the sensor within 100 ft. (30.5 m) of the 

panel. While the transmitter may have a range of 500 ft. 
(152.4 m) or more out in the open, the environment at the 
installation site can have a significant effect on transmitter 
range.

• Position the sensor to protect an area where an intruder is 

most likely to walk across the detection pattern. (

Figure 1

).

Figure 1. Overhead detection pattern

• Mount the sensor between 5 and 8 ft. (1.5 and 2.4 m) from 

the floor (

Figure 2

). We recommend a height of 7.5 ft. (2.3 

m). Higher mounting provides better range, and lower 
mounting provides better protection close to the sensor. See 

Pet alley lens

 on page 3.
