CORAL PLUS  

Temperature-Compensated PIR Detector 

 

Installation Instructions

 

1. INTRODUCTION 

The 

CORAL PLUS

 passive infrared detector is a new, advanced  

version of the popular CORAL featuring an increased detection range, 

improved stability and enhanced RFI protection (greater than 30 V/m). 
The special advantage of the 

CORAL PLUS

 is its high-temperature 

compensation for maximum "catch" performance, and its unique low-

temperature compensation for optimum false-alarm rejection. 

 

The pyroelectric sensor of the 

CORAL PLUS

 is 

enclosed in a sealed chamber, protected from insects 

and air drafts. The pulse counter may be switched 

between 1 and 3 pulses, as desired. 

CORAL PLUS

 has a selection of four interchangeable 

lenses - the appropriate lens for each application can 

be selected to match the desired coverage.

Note

: To allow extra free height for 

pets, set the vertical adjustment scale 
to +2°. Install the detector at a height 
that places the detection pattern at 
least 1 ft (30 cm) above the pet’s 
activity.

 

 

 

Note

: This lens is used for improved 

detection in close proximity to the 
detector. Motion occurring at least  
1 m (3 ft) away from the detector will 
be reliably detected .

3. INSTALLATION 

3.1 Mounting  

The

 CORAL PLUS 

can be installed directly on a wall (surface 

mounted) or in a corner. For optional swivel brackets, see Para. 3.3 

and Figure 4. Always mount the unit on a firm and stable surface.  

A.

  Select the mounting location so that the expected motion of an 

intruder would cross the beams of the coverage pattern.  

B.

  Select the most convenient mounting height. Built-in installation 

aids enable you to mount the unit anywhere up to a 3.6 m (12 ft) 

height. An accurate adjustment table (Table 1) determines the 

recommended angles for various combinations of range and 

mounting height. 

C. CORAL PLUS 

is extremely immune to air turbulence and RF 

interference (RFI). However, to minimize possible false alarms, it 

is highly recommended to avoid aiming the detector at heaters, 

sources of light or windows subjected to direct sunlight. Also avoid 

running wiring close to high power electrical cables.  

D.

  To open the front cover, remove the screw at the bottom of the 

unit. Separate and remove the front cover from the base.
