Installing the NVX80
2
The NVX80 is an innovative product with extensive capabilities. To work as efficiently as possible, several factors must
be considered before selecting an appropriate location for the detector. Proximity to moving objects (like swaying
trees), indoor conditions, outdoor conditions, distance from other electronic devices, and more, all affect the operation
of the detector.
2.1 Mounting Considerations
• Ensure that the unit’s detection beams are perpendicular to the anticipated movement (see beam patterns on
page 32)
• Keep a minimum distance between adjoining NVX80 detectors to prevent MW cross interference
• The NVX80 can be placed under a roof, awning, or the all-weather cover can be installed for outdoor installations
• Install the detector within the suggested range: installing the unit lower than 2.5 m / 8 ft 2 in may compromise
the Pet Immunity capability. Installing over 3.0 m / 9 ft 8 in may require use of our swivel bracket adjusted
downward shifting the Pet Immunity beam and neutralizing the creep zone. Installing the unit over 3.0 m / 10 ft
does not affect the creep zone.
• If the installation is near heavy traffic or objects beyond the required detection range, adjust the MW sensitivity
and/or tilt the detector downward.
Don’t
• Don’t direct the unit’s beams into swaying trees or bushes
• Don’t place the detector facing direct sunlight or near a heat source, as it might interfere with the Active IR anti-
mask feature
• Don’t place any objects, such as shelves, ledges or plants, below the unit
• Don’t place any reflective objects within 2 m / 6 ft. 6 in of the unit, as this may interfere with the MW anti-mask
capabilities
• Don’t use excessive force when handling the NVX80
