4. Where possible, mount the detector in the corner of
the room so that the logical path of an intruder would
cut across the fan detection pattern. PIR detectors
respond more effectively to movement across the
device than to movement directly towards it.
5. Do not position the detector in a position where it
is subject to excessive vibration.
6. Ensure that the position selected for the PIR
detector is within effective range of the Control
Panel. It is recommended that prior to installation
the detector is configured and tested with the
Control Panel in Walk test mode to ensure that
they are within effective range.
Note: When the system is Armed, pets should not
be allowed into an area protected by a PIR Detector
as their movement would trigger the PIR and trigger
an alarm.
Note: DO NOT fix the detector to metalwork or
locate the unit within 1m of metalwork (i.e. radiators,
water pipes, etc) as this could affect the radio range
of the Device.
INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING THE
PIR MOVEMENT DETECTORS
Ensure that the system is in Test mode, (see page 18).
1. Undo and remove the fixing screw from the
bottom edge of the PIR. Carefully pull the bottom
edge of the detector away from the rear cover and
then slide down to release the top clips.
2. Carefully drill out the required mounting holes in
the rear cover using a 3mm drill according to
whether the unit is being mounted in a corner or
against a flat wall.
3. Using the rear cover as a template, mark the
positions of the fixing holes on the wall.
4. Fix the rear cover to the wall using the two 18mm
No.4 screws and 25mm wall plugs, (a 5mm hole
will be required for the wall plugs). Do not over-
tighten the fixing screws as this may distort or
damage the cover.
Note: The wall plugs supplied with the product are
not suitable for plasterboard walls, if mounting the
Detector Panel onto plasterboard use proprietary
wall plugs.
5. Configure the House Code for the PIR Detector by
setting DIP switches 1-8 of SW2 to the same
ON/OFF combination as the House Code DIP
switches in all other system devices.
6. Configure the alarm zone which the detector will
operate on by setting DIP switches 1-3 of SW3 as
follows:
DIP 1
DIP 2
DIP 3
Zone 1
OFF
OFF
OFF
Zone 2
OFF
OFF
ON
Zone 3
OFF
ON
OFF
Zone 4
OFF
ON
ON
Zone 5
ON

OFF
Zone 6

7. DIP 4 of SW3 is used to configure the PIR Detector
for walk test mode, which allows the operation of
the detector to be checked during installation
without triggering a Full Alarm.
ON
Walk Test mode
OFF
Normal operation
Note: On initial installation the detector should be
configured into Walk-Test mode ready for testing.
8. The PIR Detector incorporates an anti-false alarm
feature designed to compensate for situations where
the detector may be affected by environmental
changes, (e.g. insects, air temperature, etc). This
feature is called "Pulse Count" and may be selected
for 1 or 2 pulse detection.
The recommended setting is for 1 pulse detection.
However, in cases of extreme environmental
problems or if unattributable false alarms are
experienced, it may be necessary to select 2 pulse
detection.
