The Vivint Passive Infrared Motion Sensor (PIR3) is a wall-mounted wireless device that provides wide-angle
motion detection as part of the overall Vivint security system. The sensor device can be mounted on a flat wall
or in a corner.
When set to high sensitivity, the motion sensor has a maximum protection area of 40 feet (12.2 m) deep by 50
feet (15.2 m) wide. For best coverage possible, mount the sensor so that the most likely direction of intruder
motion is
across
the protected area.
The PIR3 sensor is tamper-protected; it will transmit a signal to the control panel/hub if the cover is taken off
or if the device is removed from its mounting location. It also provides false alarm protection by being pet
immune for animals up to 80 pounds (36.3 kg). For more information, see the "Settings for Pet Immunity"
section below.
This document includes a product description, installation and test instructions, illustrations, basic operation /
user functionality, as well as technical specifications, standards listings, and regulatory compliance references.
Installation Instructions
The Vivint Motion Sensor can be installed on a flat wall or in a 90-degree corner.
To install the sensor, follow these steps:
1. Attach the back mounting plate to the wall 7.5 feet (2.3 m) above the floor with
the arrows pointing up.
NOTE:
To mount on a flat wall, secure the back plate by using the two provided
screws in the center holes. To mount in a corner, secure the back plate by using
the two screws in the side holes.
2. Secure the sensor on to the back plate by sliding it down until it clicks into place.
INSTALLATION TIPS:
•
Mount so that the likely direction of intruder motion is
across
the protected area.
•
Use
High
sensitivity when it is anticipated an intruder may only cover a small
portion of the protected area.
•
Low
sensitivity is recommended for settings with pets when intruders are expected
to cover a larger portion of the protected area.
•
Do not install where the detector is exposed to direct sunlight or above strong
sources of heat.
•
Ensure the detection area does not have obstructions (curtains, screens, large
pieces of furniture, plants, etc.) that may block the coverage pattern.
•
Avoid mounting locations that contain objects likely to produce a rapid change in
temperature such as central heating, ducts, open flames, etc.
•
If mounting in a hallway, the best location is at the end of the hallway in a corner
facing directly down the hallway (not at the typical 45-degree angle).
•
If pet immunity is desired, mount where animals cannot come within six feet of the
detectors by climbing on furniture or other objects. Also, do not aim the detector
at a stairway or furniture or other objects that can be climbed by an animal.
Installer / User Test
1. Press and hold the test button on the side of the sensor device. The red LED should turn
on as soon as the button is pressed. After 2 seconds, the red LED will blink once to
indicate the device has entered test mode.
2. The red LED will briefly turn on every few seconds that motion is detected. The PIR3 will
also transmit to the control panel/hub while motion is detected.
NOTE
: Test mode lasts
for 90 seconds, after which the device returns to normal operation.
