3. DIP 4 of SW3 is used to configure the PIR Detector for walk test mode, which allows
the operation of the Detector to be checked during installation without triggering a
Full Alarm.
DIP 4 of SW3
Mode
Trigger reaction on LED
ON
Walk
Test
• LED single flash when
movement detected: implies
the sensor is set to high
sensitivity
• LED flashes three times and
illuminates once: implies
the sensor is set to low
sensitivity
OFF
Normal
Position
LED will not light up (unless the
battery in the PIR is low)
Note:
On initial installation the PIR Detector should be set to Walk-Test mode ready
for testing.
4. The PIR Detector incorporates a sensitivity feature designed to compensate for
situations where the Detector may be affected by environmental changes, (e.g.
insects, air temperature, etc). This feature is called “Detection Sensitivity” and may
be set to Standard or High Sensitivity.
Note:
The higher the sensitivity the less movement will be necessary before the
PIR Detector will trigger the alarm.
The recommended setting is Standard Sensitivity. If set to High Sensitivity, in some
cases extreme environmental problems could cause unexplained false alarms.
If this is experienced it may be necessary to reset the PIR Detector to Standard
Sensitivity.
Set the required detection sensitivity using DIP 5 of SW3 as follows:
OFF
Standard Sensitivity
ON
High Sensitivity
5. Connect the PP3 alkaline battery to the battery clip.
Note:
When the 9V alkaline battery is connected, the LED behind the lens will flash
for -3 minutes until the PIR has warmed-up and stabilized. The LED will then stop
flashing and turn OFF.
