DISCOVERY QUAD MCW 

Wireless PowerCode Quad PIR Detector 

 

Installation Instructions

 

 

1. FEATURES 

  Employs a real quad element low-noise pyroelectric sensor 

  Includes a fully supervised PowerCode transmitter 

  Patented sophisticated motion analysis algorithm - True Motion 

Recognition (TMR™) 

  Two-position vertical adjustment for coverage pattern 

  Integral swivel bracket for wall or ceiling installation 

  Programmable motion event counter - ON or OFF (default) 

  Front and back tamper switches for improved tamper protection 

  Full stabilization achieved 30 seconds after power up 

 After detection, the detector disables itself to save battery 

power. It reverts to the ready state if there is no subsequent 

detection throughout the following 2-minute period 

 

Automatic termination of

 

walk-test after 15 minutes 

  Low current consumption 
 Microprocessor-controlled 

temperature compensation 

  Sealed chamber protects the 

optical system 

  White light protection 
  Elegantly styled, sturdy case 
  Keyhole-shaped slot for easy 

removal of PCB
