INTRODUCTION

The D-TECT Dual ABS is an outdoor motion detector and 

alarm trigger that uses two independent passive infra-red

detectors plus a microwave sensor module. All three

sensors must trigger to cause the detector to signal an

alarm. Utilising triple detection technology, the D-TECT 

Dual ABS delivers precise, reliable presence detection.

QUICK INSTALLATION

1. 

Mount and connect the detector following the 

instructions given later in this sheet.

2. 

Apply supply voltage to the unit. The detection LED 

(blue) flashes three times.

3. 

Wait approximately 2 to 3 minutes to allow the 

detector to settle.

4. 

Press the programming button once to activate walk 

test mode. The detection LED is now enabled for 

five minutes. 

Note: The front cover must be fitted 

when walk testing.

The default settings are:

• 

Range: 30 meters

• 

Pulse count: 1 (always set to 1 during walk rest)

• 

Detection LED: off (always enabled during walk test)

MOUNTING THE UNIT

During installation, protect the electronics against water, as

trapped moisture can affect or damage the unit.

WARNING

• NYLON WASHERS PROVIDED MUST BE USED WITH SCREWS

 

• ENSURE CABLE ENTRY AND SCREW HOLES ARE

  SEALED WITH WATER BASED SEALANT

• DO NOT USE SILICONE BASED SEALANT

To reduce the possibility of the microwave circuit being 

affected it is recommended to leave a minimum space of 3 

metres between D-TECT Dual ABS sensors when mounted 

alongside each other. When facing each other a minimum 

space of 15 metres is recommended. It is possible to 

mount the units back to back however when detectors are 

mounted in close proximity to one another it is advisable to 

carry out a walk test to ensure that external objects are not 

influencing the microwave circuit. 

1. 

Drill the wall to accept the two fixing screws, the 

cable entry, and the tamper cup (if used). See 

Figures 1 and 2. A hole-drilling template is provided. 

Note: We recommend using the tamper cup on 

uneven wall surfaces.

2. 

Remove the cover assembly by loosening the locking 

screw using the allen key provided. The cover hinges 

from the top and lifts out of the location slot. See 

Figure 3.

3. 

Feed standard eight-core alarm cable into the cable 

entry. Bare the wires and connect to the terminal 

block. See Figures 2, 4, 5, 6 & 7.

4. 

Screw the unit to the wall ensuring that the 

tamper pin is correctly located and that the tamper 

microswitch is closed. See Figure 7. To aid 

installation, two spare tamper feet are provided. One 

is 1mm longer and the other is 2mm longer than the 

tamper foot originally fitted. The tamper foot is a push 

fit and can be removed by carefully pulling it from the 

pin. See Figure 2.

5. 

When the detector is aligned, connected, and 

programmed to suit the installation, replace the front 

cover and lock as shown. See Figure 8.

MULTIBEAM ALIGNMENT & MASKING

The multifunction lens fitted to D-TECT Dual ABS produces 

seven long range beams and seven medium to short range 

curtain PIR beams. The PIR circuitry detects changes in 

heat and movement in the beam pattern; therefore items 

such as trees, shrubs, ponds, boiler flues, and animals 

should be considered when positioning the detector.

Note: The PIR sensor is more sensitive to movement

across the beams, and less sensitive to movement 

directly towards or away from the beams.

The detector module is fitted with two sliding shutters to

reduce the detection angle.

The curtains are fitted to the pan and tilt module as shown

in Figure 9 (shown with primary and additional curtain

sliders fitted). Each section of the detector lens gives a

coverage pattern of approximately 10 degrees.

An additional set of curtain sliders is provided should the

beam pattern need to be narrowed even further, e.g. if the

minimum detection angle of 10 degrees is required.

When coverage exceeds the desired detection area, adjust

the module as required and mask off any beams, either

vertically or horizontally, to avoid unwanted detection.

Use portions of the self-adhesive silver mask applied to the

rear, smooth side of the lens as shown in Figures 10 & 11.

Always replace the lens the correct way up to ensure exact

beam pattern coverage (top of the lens is marked TOP).

When mounted at heights above 3 metres there could be a

significant reduction in the range of detection and the target

will have to move a greater distance within the field of view

before an alarm is generated.
