Installing Special Equipment
When installing the
Pro
or
Family
systems, there are situations that require special equipment so that
the activity events are recognized correctly by the analytics algorithm.
If the premises includes rooms that “combine activities”, such as a bathroom with a toilet, you can
install special equipment to prevent overlapping coverage areas.
If the Resident has a pet, it is important to differentiate between the movement of the Resident and
the movement of the pet. Special equipment can be installed to enable the PIR to ignore the pet’s
movements.
The following equipment installed in the PIR can solve these situations:
Pet Immune Lens
Optical Limiter
4.1.
Open and Close the PIR
To install the special equipment, you must open the PIR back cover. The circuit board is attached to
the inner compartment of the PIR back cover.
Caution:
When working within the inner compartment of the PIR, it is important
to be careful not to damage the circuit board and other parts of the PIR.
4.1.1
Opening the PIR
To open the PIR, perform the following procedure:
Caution:
Perform this procedure with special care since the top part of the
front panel is made of very thin plastic covering which might break if too
much pressure is applied.

If the PIR is already installed on the premises, dismount the PIR from the mounting-base, as
illustrated in Figure 24 on page 23.
