•
Select a location where the detector can provide the best detecting
range. Always ensure that you do not cover an area with multiple
detectors, so as to avoid simultaneous transmission back to the receiver
in your alarm control panel. The receiver can only decode one coded
signal at any given time.
•
If the unit is mounted close to metal frames or doors, this may reduce
the radio transmitting range.
•
The detector is not waterproof and is designed for indoor use only.
4. Testing & Operation
It is vital that the detector is tested carefully for each installation. Placing
the unit into test mode is the best way of checking the detector. At
25°Celsius, the detector should have a detection range of approximately 10
metres and a scope angle of 90°, i.e. 45° either side of the center position
straight ahead of the lens.
4.1. Test Mode
Test mode, as its name implies, is used for testing the detection range and
testing the radio transmission back to the receiver. To place the detector in
test mode do the following:
•
Remove the front cover.
•
The green and red lights will flash together, 6 times, to indicate that the
detector has entered test mode.
•
Replace the front cover.
•
The detector will stay in test mode for 3 minutes.
•
The green and red lights will flash together, 6 times, to indicate that the
detector is exiting test mode.
During test mode the detector will flash the green light when you move
into an infrared beam zone or move out of the other side of that infrared
beam zone (see section 4.3 for more information on how the sensor detects
movement). Each time the green light flashes this is called a pulse.
If the detector is set to 2 pulse counts (most sensitive) then the red light
will flash if there are 2 green flashes within 10 seconds. If the detector is
set to 3 pulse counts (least sensitive) then the red light will flash if there are
3 green flashes within 10 seconds.
