Step 1: Install the Wireless PIR Detectors
About The Wireless Passive Infrared Detector (PIRW)
The detector is a high quality infrared movement detector, which is battery
operated and communicates with the Valet Digital alarm system via radio
frequency (RF) transmission. This detector is very easy to install, provides
excellent detection sensitivity and has a long battery life (approximately 3
years). This detector transmits four different codes to the main control unit:
•
Alarm – sent when a valid movement is detected
•
Tamper – sent when the detector case is opened
•
Supervision – sent every 2.5 hours to the main control unit
•
Low Battery – sent when the batteries need replacing
During the warm up period, (first 3 minutes after installing the batteries) the
detector will not respond to the tamper switch or to movement in front of the
detector. You must wait 3 minutes before it will respond.
This detector has Intelligent Power Saving (IPS). This means that in normal
operation the lights will not flash every time you move in front of the detector.
When the red light flashes on for 1 second, this means that the detector has
picked up and validated body movement (or an intruder) and an alarm code is
transmitted. The detector will now go into IPS mode for approximately 3
minutes. During this time the detector will not trigger and no lights will turn on.
