PIR Detector

and Operating Instructions and be retained for future reference.
Introduction
The LuxHome PIR Detector is designed for use with LuxHome wire free Intruder Alarm
Systems operating on 433MHz only.
PIR Detectors are designed to detect movement in a protected area by detecting
changes in infrared radiation levels caused, for example, when a person moves within
or across the devices field of vision. If movement is detected an alarm signal will be
triggered (if the system and alarm zone is armed).
Note:
PIR Detectors will also detect animals, so ensure that pets are not in areas fitted
with PIR Detectors when the system is armed.
Any number of PIR Detectors can be used with your system providing they are all
coded with the system house code, and are mounted within effective radio range.
The PIR Detector is powered by a PP3 alkaline battery. Under normal operating
conditions this will provide an expected life up to one year. When the battery level
becomes low the PIR Detector will flash a red LED behind the lens. When this occurs
the battery should be replaced as soon as possible.
Choosing a Position for the PIR Detector
The recommended position
for a PIR Detector is in the
corner of a room mounted at
a height of between and
.5m. At this height, the PIR
Detector will have a maximum
range of up to 1m with a field
of view of 110°.
