INSTALLATION
CHOOSING A SUITABLE LOCATION
The unit may be either wall mounted or corner mounted. Select a rigid
surface that is relatively free of vibration.
Positioned the sensor with respect to access doors or windows so that an
intruder will pass across its field of view, not directly toward or away from it.
Avoid areas containing devices that may pose a chronic problem to either
sensor. For the dual-technology feature to be truly effective in rendering the
unit free from false alarms, neither sensor should detect intrusion under
normal conditions. Note: The unit is shipped from the factory with Jumper J1
in the Alarm position.
In selecting mounting height, aiming, and range, also consider the following:
•
(1) the size and shape of the area to be protected. In a large or irregularly-
shaped area, the use of two or more units may be advisable for volumetric
coverage;
•
(2) the PIR lens installed (see ORDERING INFORMATION for available
optional lenses);
•
(3) objects that may block detection;
•
(4) animals in the protected area; and
•
(5) an intruder’s likely path, usually determined by the location of a door
or window.
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
Open the case by inserting a small screwdriver in the slot at the bottom and
pushing up slightly. Remove the front cover.
An array of “push-thru” holes is provided in the rear case to simplify wall or
corner mounting. (If corner mounting, do not use the hole at the lower-left
corner, near the terminal strip.) A round push-thru hole permits cable entry at
the bottom (see Fig. 4). Cutaway notches in the rear case will accommodate
surface-mounted cables if the outer jacket is removed. Note: Any knockout
that has been removed but not used should be sealed with the caulking
material supplied to eliminate drafts and prevent entry by insects.
WARNING: This unit will not detect pets under 2’6" in height or under 40 lbs. in weight.
IMPORTANT! For optimum results in pet applications,
•
Mount the unit at 7–8’, adjust the microwave gain control to the
minimum setting required to detect a intruder.
•
Choose a location where the pet cannot get close to the unit.
•
Adjust microwave for minimum range that gives desired detection.
•
If protecting an area with a pet over 2’6" or 50 lbs., mount unit at a
height of approx. 5 to 6 feet and install lens (P/N: LENS817).
