Beam Patterns for AMB-600 Lens
Locating the Detector
Select a detector location that will provide the coverage required keeping in mind
the following potential problems
•
Do not aim the detector at
reflective surfaces
such as mirrors or windows as this
may distort the coverage pattern or reflect sunlight directly onto the detector.
•
Avoid locations that are subject to direct high
air flow
such as near an air
duct outlet.
•
Do not locate the detector near sources of
moisture
(steam or oil).
•
Do not aim the detector such that it will receive direct or reflected (mirror)
sunlight
.
•
Do not limit the coverage by large
obstructions
within the detection area such
as plants or filing cabinets.
•
Do not aim the detector at a stairway which a
pet
has access to. Do not place
furniture or objects higher than 3 ft/0.9 m, which a pet can climb onto (e.g. a
cat on a couch), closer than 6 ft/1.8 m to the detector.
Device Wiring
To connect the AMB-600, consult the wiring diagram below:
Mounting
To open the case, use a small flat blade screwdriver and gently push in the tab
at the bottom of the case and pull the cover straight out at the bottom. Loosen
the printed circuit board screw, and push the board up as far as it will go. Using
a small screwdriver, remove the appropriate knockouts for the mounting screws.
Remove the desired wiring entrance knockouts located at the top or bottom of
the backplate. Mount the backplate using the screws supplied.
Locate screws diagonally opposite each other to prevent the case from warping.
Device Enrollment
The serial number located on the back of the device must be enrolled into the
alarm control panel via Installer’s Programming ([
✱
] [8] [Installer’s Code]). This
procedure is outlined for the PC4010/4020 v3.x in the control panel Installation
Manual and for Power panels in the PC5100 Installation Manual.
WARNING: Connect only DSC Addressable Series devices to the
addressable loop connections. Connection of ANY other type of device will
impair operation. Any devices other than Addressable Series devices which
require power to operate must be powered separately.
Vertical Adjustment
NOTE: Range and dead zones may vary due to settings.
Using the figures listed below, set the vertical adjustment to get the desired
coverage. Ensure that the PCB retaining screw is tightened just enough to
prevent board movement.
Height from Floor ....................... Vertical Adjustment
6.0' / 1.8 m ....................... + 0.75
7.5' / 2.3 m ....................... 0.00
8.5' / 2.6 m ....................... - 0.50
9.0' / 2.7 m ....................... - 0.75
10.5' / 3.2 m ....................... - 1.25
Moving the circuit board DOWN will increase the far range and bring the near
beams closer to the mounting wall. Moving the circuit board UP will reduce the
far range and move the near beams farther out from the mounting wall. Moving
the circuit board UP too much will cause the far beams to “look” above the target;
as a result, the range may appear shorter.
Jumper J1 selects between harsh and normal environments. For a typical
environment or one containing a small pet (height less than 1.2 ft / 0.36 m), set
the unit as normal (J1 ON). For a large pet and multiple pets, the jumper J1
should be removed.
Walk Testing
Once the detector has been set up, walk test the entire area where coverage is
desired. Should the coverage be incomplete, readjust or relocate the detector to
obtain full coverage.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Upon installation, the unit should be thoroughly tested
to verify proper operation. The end user should be instructed on how to
perform walk tests, and should walk test the detector weekly.
