DECLARATION
No
var ED&S hereby declares that this wireless PIR Detector is in
compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant
provisions of the R&TTE directive (1999/5/EC).
INTR
ODUCTION
T
his Passive Infra-Red Movement Detector is suitable for use with
Response Wireless Intruder Alarm systems operating at 868MHz only.
PIR Detectors detect movement in a protected area by detecting
changes in infra-red radiation levels caused for example when a
person moves within or across the PIR’s detection pattern. If movement
is detected an alarm will be triggered, (if the system is armed). PIR
Detectors will also detect animals, so ensure that pets are not
permitted access to areas fitted with PIR Movement Detectors when
the system is armed.
The detector incorporates a tamper protection feature to protect
against attempts to interfere with the device. If the battery cover is
removed, an alarm will immediately occur at any time (unless system is
in Service, Test or Programming modes).
The detector also incorporates a sensitivity adjustment feature to
compensate for situations where the detector may be triggered by
environmental changes, (e.g. insects, air temperature, etc).
To conserve power and maximise battery life the PIR detector will
only detect movement if there has been no movement detected within
the previous 2 minutes.
The detector is powered by a PP3 Alkaline battery which under normal
conditions will have an expected life in excess of 1 year. When the
battery level drops, with the PIR in normal operation mode and the
battery cover fitted, the LED behind the detection window will flash.
When this occurs the battery should be replaced as soon as possible.
(Note: in normal operation with the LED behind the lens will not flash
on detection of movement).
POSITIONING
THE PIR MOVEMENT
DETECTOR
T
he PIR Movement Detector is suitable for mounting in dry interior
locations only.
The recommended position for a PIR Movement Detector is in the corner
of a room mounted at a height between 2 and 2.5m. At this height, the
detector will have a range of up to 12m with a field of view of 110°.
When considering and deciding upon the mounting position for the
detector the following points should be considered to ensure trouble free
operation:
●
Do not position the detector f
acing a window or where it is exposed
to or facing direct sunlight.
PIR Movement Detectors are not
suitable for use in conservatories.
●
Do not position the detector w
here it is exposed to draughts.
●
Do not position the detector dir
ectly above a heat source,
(e.g. fire, radiator, boiler, etc.).
●
W
here possible, mount the detector in the corner of the room so that
the logical path of an intruder would cut across the fan detection
pattern.
PIR detectors respond more effectively to movement
across the device than to movement directly towards it.
●
Do not position the detector in a position w
here it is subject to
excessive vibration.
●
Ensur
e that the position selected for the PIR detector is within effective
range of the system, (refer to System Installation and Operating Manual).
●
DO NO
T fix the detector to metalwork or locate the unit within
1m of metalwork (i.e. radiators, water pipes, etc) as this could
affect the radio range of the device.
Note:
W
hen the system is Armed, pets should not be allowed into
an area protected by a PIR Detector as their movement would trigger
the PIR and trigger an alarm.
INST
ALLING AND CONFIGURING THE
PIR MOVEMENT DETECTOR
Ensur
e that the system is in Test / Service Mode.
1.
Undo and r
emove the fixing screw from the bottom edge of the PIR
Detector, (keep the screw safe for later). Carefully pull the bottom
edge of the detector away from the rear cover and then slide down
to release the top clips.
2.
Car
efully drill out the required mounting holes in the rear cover
using a 3mm drill according to whether the unit is being mounted in
a corner or against a flat wall.
