P/N  7101491   REV. A  A.Y.

 

 

A new generation of professional 
movement spread spectrum analyzing PIR 
& MW detectors. 

The Activ8 DT is a combination of PIR & MW 
detectors, providing protection from intruders by 
PYRO sensor element and MW (based on Doppler 
concept).  
Using micro controller for PIR & MW signal 
analyzing, with special ASIC technology for PIR 
pulse processing, assures “false alarm free” 
operation.

SELECT MOUNTING LOCATION 

Choose a location most likely to intercept an 
intruder. (Our recommendation is a corner 
installation). See detection pattern. The quad-
element high quality sensor detects motion 
crossing the beam; it is slightly less sensitive 
detecting motion toward the detector. 
The Activ8 DT performs best when provided with 
a constant and stable environment. 

AVOID THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONs 

  Facing direct sunlight. 

  Facing areas that may change temperature 

rapidly. 

  Areas where there are air ducts or 

substantial airflows. 

The Activ8 DT performs better when provided 
with a constant and stable environment.  

 

REMOVAL OF FRONT COVER

 

MOUNTING DETECTOR BASE

    

 

 
 

1. To remove the front cover, unscrew the holding 

screw and gently raise the front cover. 

2.  To remove the PC board, carefully unscrew the 

holding screw located on the PC board. 

3.  Break out the desired holes for proper installing. 

4. The circular and rectangular indentations at the 

bottom base are the knockout holes for wire 
entry. You may also use mounting holes that are 
not in use for running the wiring into the 
detector.(For option with bracket - lead wire 
through the bracket) 

5. Mount the detector base to the wall, corner or 

ceiling. (For option with bracket install bracket). 

6. Reinstall the PC board by fully tightening the 

holding screw. Connect wire to terminal block. 

7. Replace the cover by inserting it back in the 

appropriate closing pins and screw in the holding 
screw.

TERMINAL BLOCK CONNECTIONS 

 

 
Terminals 1 & 4 - Marked “ EOL ” – 

End of line 

option. 

Terminals 2 & 3 - Marked “ TAMPER ”  

If a Tamper function is required connect these 
terminals to a 24-hour normally closed protective 
zone in the control unit. If the front cover of the 
detector is opened, an immediate alarm signal will 
be sent to the control unit. 

 

 

 

 

Terminals 5 & 6 - Marked 

 RELAY 

 

These are the output relay contacts of the 
detector. Connect to a normally closed zone in the 
control panel. 

Terminal 7 - Marked “ + ” (+12V) 

Connect to a positive Voltage output of 8.2 -16Vdc 
source (usually from the alarm control unit) 

 

Terminal 8 - Marked “ - ” (gnd) 

Connect to the negative Voltage output or ground 
of the control panel.
