Passive Infrared Detector/

998MX

Installation Instructions

General Information

This passive infrared motion detector is designed for use

with control panels that support polling loop devices

equipped with DIP switches or polling loop devices that

require their serial number to be ÒlearnedÓ*.  It is a versatile

wall-mounted unit employing Fresnel lenses and offering

efficient protection patterns for commercial and residential

applications. Best coverage will be obtained if mounting is

selected such that the likely direction of intruder motion is

across

the pattern.

If the control panel supports Serial No. learning, you

MUST configure the 998MX as a Serial No. device (see

ÒAddress/Serial No. ID section).

This detector is also equipped with Òdownward lookingÓ

optics to cover the normally ÒdeadÓ zone directly beneath a

detector.
The detector is shipped with the standard wide angle lens

installed, but. also supports a pet alley lens (998-PA) and a

long range lens (998-LR). These lenses are purchased sep-

arately. An optional swivel mounting bracket is available

(998SB).

Installation

A. Normal Mounting:

Mount the unit to a firm vertical surface. The wall wiring hole

should be no more than 5/16Ó (8mm) in diameter.

1. Remove the front cover as shown in Figure 1.

2. Loosen the screw holding down the PC board.

3. Refer to Figure 2. For clarity, the PC board is not show

in this diagram. Knockout holes ÒAÓ in the base should

be used for normal surface mounting on the wall. For

corner mounting see  section B, below. Also break out

the desired wire entry hole at this time (holes are

marked X in Fig. 2).

4.   Feed wiring emerging from the wall through the wire

access hole near the top of the detector base. Make

sure wires have sufficient slack to allow the PC board to

slide up and down freely when the wires are connected

to the terminals on the board. Mount the base. Note the

mounting orientation of this detectorÑwire entry is at

the top, lens at bottom.

5. Before fully tightening the PC board holding screw,

make sure the board is positioned so that the arrow is

in line with the appropriate setting on the graduated

scale (see Table 1).

6. Refer to WIRING CONNECTIONS before replacing

the front cover.

B. Corner Mounting:

1. Orient the corner mounting bracket with ÒhooksÓ point-

ing upward. (See Fig. 3), and mount in selected corner

with 4 screws.

2. Break out the Òrelease slotÓ (identified in Fig. 2) in the

detector base. Failure to do this will make it impossible to

remove the detector after mounting.

3. Press the detector base onto the bracket so that the

bracket ÒhooksÓ are forced through the four self-closing

slots in the base (see Fig. 2), then pull downward to

secure onto the bracket

.

To Remove The Detector After Mounting

1. Remove cover and PC board.

2. Using blade of small screwdriver, push through the slot

in base of detector, press on the release tab in the cor-

ner mounting bracket, then pull detector upward and

away from bracket.

C. Changing lenses (if required)

1. Remove front cover.
2. Squeeze upper lens lock located in front cover to

release upper Fresnel lens support. Squeeze lower

lens lock to release lower Fresnel lens support (see

Figure 4).

3. Note how the lens supports are positions, then remove

the supports.

4. Carefully remove the existing lens and replace with

an optional coverage lens. 

The lens must be

installed with the smooth side facing outward.

Also, the lens should be oriented with 

its part number on the upper right-hand side 

(see

Figure 4)

Be sure to center the lens.

Note:

Lens surface should be free of dirt, foreign

matter and finger-prints. Use soft dry cloth to wipe

lens surface.

5. Replace top and bottom lens supports and then press

downward so that the lens locks (with lens) snap into

position.

6. Refer to Table 1 for recommended detector pattern

settings for various mounting heights and protection

ranges.

7. Replace the front cover (make sure cover snaps tight-

ly).

D. Horizontal Adjustment of Lens

The protection pattern can be moved to the left or right by

horizontal adjustment as follows:

1. Remove the cover.

2. Press inward on the upper and lower lens locks at the

left or right side only to release the lens supports on

one side. Now slide the lens to the left or right, as

needed. The lens may be moved as much as 4o (from

center) in either direction.

3. When the lens is in the desired position, press the lens

locks downward (on the released side) to lock the sup-

ports in place.

4. Replace the front cover (make sure the cover snaps on

tightly).

After adjustment, conduct a walk test to ensure proper cov-

erage of the area to be protected; see ÒTest ProceduresÓ.

E. Vertical Pattern Adjustment

The protection pattern can be raised or lowered by re-posi-

tioning the PC board in the detector. A graduated scale to the

right of the board (see Fig. 5) indicates the approximate

number of degrees by which the pattern can be raised (max

+5o) or lowered (max -20o). To make this adjustment,

loosen the screw holding the PC board. Slide the board

upward or downward by the number of degrees required,

then tighten the holding screw again. After any adjustment,

conduct a walk test to ensure proper coverage of the area

to be protected; see ÒTest proceduresÓ.

F.

Lens Masking:

The supplied masking strips can be used to produce a pro-

tection pattern that suits the particular requirements of the

protected area, or eliminate coverage from areas where

you anticipate environmental disturbances that might

reduce the PIRÕs stability (a heater or other heat-producing

object for example). Simply peel off the appropriate pres-

sure-sensitive adhesive strip(s) and apply over the desired

lens segment(s). Be sure to affix the masking strips to the

inside of the lens (not the outer, smooth side). Each lens

segment that is masked results in the elimination of one

zone of protection from the coverage pattern.

The standard lens can be used to provide a pet alley. To do

so mask the bottom two rows as shown in Fig. 4 and mount

as though the optional pet alley lens was installed.

Important: If using the Pet Alley lens or if you have

masked the standard lens to emulate a pet alley lens
