With the circuit board removed, use a small screwdriver to punch
out the wiring and mounting knockouts located in the detector’s
back. Feed the wiring through the wiring knockout and secure the
detector to the wall.
DM-C AND DM-W DETECTOR MOUNTING BRACKETS
Use the optional DM-W wall-mount
and DM-C ceiling mount brackets to
solve difficult placement problems.
The DM-W and DM-C mount to either
the wall or ceiling and allow for full
vertical and horizontal positioning of
the motion detector - the detector can
be tilted up or down and rotated
through 90° to obtain the best position
for optimal coverage. The Force2 has
been designed to be fully compatible
with the DM-W and DM-C brackets.
Contact your DSC distributor for more
information.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum
detection coverage occurs when the
Force2 is mounted at the height specified in the mounting
instructions and the mounting surface is vertical. If this cannot
be achieved with a mounting bracket, then detector coverage
may be less than specified.
WIRING
Once the detector is mounted in the desired location, connect the
wiring as shown below.
NOTE: Contacts are shown in the non-alarm state with power
applied to the detector.
Wiring shall be insulated with PVC, TFE, PTFE, FEP neoprene or
polymide.
Ω
POWER UP
Upon application of power, the alarm indicator will be illuminated
for 60 seconds to indicate the unit is warming up. During this
period, the alarm relay is held in its normal non-alarm state. After
the 60 second warm-up period, the alarm indicator will go out and
the unit will respond to motion in the protected area.
ALARM INDICATOR ON/OFF JUMPER J1
With jumper J1 OFF, the alarm indicator will turn on each time the
unit goes into alarm. With J1 ON, the alarm indicator is disabled.
RANGE ADJUSTMENT
The detector’s range is adjustable from about 10' minimum to 40'
maximum (3m minimum to 13m maximum). Rotating the “MW
Adjust” potentiometer clockwise increases the range; rotating the
potentiometer counter-clockwise decreases the range. For
optimum performance, the range should be adjusted so that it
matches the size of the area to be protected. The unit is factory-
set for maximum range.
It is strongly recommended that the range of the detector be
adjusted to match the size of the protected area. To do this, first,
set the LED jumper to the OFF position to enable the LED.
Have someone walk at the farthest spot from the detector that is still
within the desired detection area. Adjust the “Range Adjust”
potentiometer until the alarm LED no longer illuminates when the
person walks through the extreme edge of the detection area.
When so adjusted, readjust the potentiometer so that the unit will
go into alarm when a person walks at the extreme edge of the
detection area.
CAUTION: Microwave frequencies can penetrate walls and
glass. Adjust the range so that it does not extend outside the
desired area of detection.

WALK TESTING
It is imperative that the unit be thoroughly walk tested after mounting
and any necessary adjustment be made to ensure that coverage
extends over the desired area. Refer to the 'Range Adjustment'
section of these instructions.
Once coverage has been confirmed, Jumper J1 may be set to the
ON position to disable the alarm LED indicator.
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 perform a
walk test at least once per year.
PIR LENS
The PIR lens is mounted with the textured
side facing in (smooth side facing out).
Note that the long lens elements are at the
top when the lens is properly positioned.
Ensure the lens is properly seated, and
that the lens holder is securely snapped
into place.
LIMITED WARRANTY
Digital Security Controls Ltd. warrants that for a period of twelve months from the date of purchase, the product
shall be free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and that in fulfilment of any breach of such
warranty, Digital Security Controls Ltd. shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective equipment upon return
of the equipment to its repair depot. This warranty applies only to defects in parts and workmanship and not
to damage incurred in shipping or handling, or damage due to causes beyond the control of Digital Security
Controls Ltd. such as lightning, excessive voltage, mechanical shock, water damage, or damage arising out of
abuse, alteration or improper application of the equipment.
The foregoing warranty shall apply only to the original buyer, and is and shall be in lieu of any and all other
warranties, whether expressed or implied and of all other obligations or liabilities on the part of Digital Security
Controls Ltd. Digital Security Controls Ltd. neither assumes responsibility for, nor authorizes any other person
purporting to act on its behalf to modify or to change this warranty, nor to assume for it any other warranty or
liability concerning this product.
In no event shall Digital Security Controls Ltd. be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential damages, loss
of anticipated profits, loss of time or any other losses incurred by the buyer in connection with the purchase,
installation or operation or failure of this product.
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as shown in their respective installation
instructions. They cannot discriminate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detection and motion can only be detected in
unobstructed areas covered by these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceilings,
floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any type of tampering whether intentional or
unintentional such as masking, painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or any
other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in temperature. However their effectiveness can be
reduced when the ambient temperature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or
unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these heat sources could be heaters, radiators,
stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sunlight, steam vents, lighting and so on.
WARNING: Digital Security Controls Ltd. recommends that the entire system be completely tested on a
regular basis. However, despite frequent testing, and due to, but not limited to, criminal tampering or
electrical disruption, it is possible for this product to fail to perform as expected.

CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY APPROVED BY DIGITAL SECURITY CONTROLS
