AMB-500
Addressable PIR Detector
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The AMB-500 is a ceiling mount detector designed to provide reliable motion detec-
tion for residential and commercial applications. The AMB-500 uses a special Fresnel
lens made for 360° detection in conjunction with a quad element PIR sensor opti-
mized for uniform detection all around its field of view. Special attention is given to
false alarm immunity against RF, static, electrical transient to ensure trouble free oper-
ation for many years.
The AMB-500 uses a 2-wire connection for power and to communicate with the con-
trol panel. This simplifies wiring and reduces installation cost. The AMB-500’s low cur-
rent draw also maximizes the number of devices that can be attached to an
addressable loop.
