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.
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 unattributed
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:
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 2-3 minutes until the
PIR has warmed-up and stabilized. The LED will then
stop flashing and turn OFF.
Testing The PIR Detector
Before testing the PIR Detector ensure that the
system is in Test mode (for a Control Panel System) or
Service Mode (for a Siren only System).
With the PIR Detector set in Walk Test mode (Switch 4) and
mounted in position on the wall, allow 2-3 minutes for the
PIR Detector to stabilize before commencing the Walk Test.
1. Walk into and move slowly around the protected area,
each time the PIR Detector senses your movement
the LED behind the Lens will flash.
If necessary re-adjust the detection pattern by
changing the mounting position of the PCB within the
PIR housing.
2. Reconfigure the PIR Detector for normal operation mode
by setting DIP4 of SW3 to OFF and refit in position.
Note: In normal operation, the LED behind the PIR
Detector lens will not flash on movement detection,
(unless the battery is low).
Note: When the PIR Detector is fully installed i.e.
battery cover is refitted; the unit will not detect
movement for approximately 45 seconds after each
activation. (This feature is present to conserve battery
power and maximize the battery life).
