INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended to install the EIR in the following locations:
•
2.3 m above ground level for best performance.
•
The detection range is from 1 m to 11 m.
•
The operating temperature is -10° to 50°C.
•
In a corner for the widest view.
•
Where an intruder would normally move across the EIR’s field of view.
•
A surface or corner where animals are inaccessible.
•
Clear all light reflecting surfaces from the detection area, as well as water puddles.
Limitations
:
•
Do not install the EIR completely exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Do not install in areas with rapid change of temperature, e.g. air conditioner, heater.
•
Avoid large obstacles in the detection area.
•
Do not point directly at sources of heat, such as fires and boilers, or install above radiators.
•
Never attempt to disassemble or modify the unit.
Important Note:
o
The EIR detects differences between the moving object and the background. If the object is idle
(i.e. not moving), the EIR is unable to detect it.
o
The EIR has a directional characteristic and it is difficult to detect motion towards the EIR.
o
For best performance, remember to adjust the mounting height of EIR with respect to the height
of the tallest pet in the house. Taller dogs require the EIR to be mounted higher for pet
friendliness.
o
When deciding on the mounting height of the EIR, remember to take the blind spot into consideration.
The blind spot located beneath the EIR enlarges proportionally to the height of the EIR.
o
The EIR is able to differentiate between pets and human bodies, and alert accordingly by
movement detection combined with two EIR lens.
o
The detection areas depend on the DIP Switch position. Detection length is limited as shown on
the right. Both upper & lower detection areas have to the blocked at the same time in order to
activate the sensor.
