Note:
On initial installation the PIR Detector should be set to Walk-Test mode ready for testing.
3. The PIR Detector incorporates a sensitivity 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 “Detection Sensitivity” and may be set to Standard or High Sensitivity.
Note:
The higher the sensitivity the less movement will be necessary before the PIR Detector
will trigger the alarm.
The recommended setting is Standard Sensitivity. If set to High Sensitivity, in some cases,
extreme environmental problems could cause unexplained false alarms. If this is experienced it
may be necessary to reset the PIR Detector to Standard Sensitivity.
Set the required detection sensitivity using DIP 5 of SW3 as follows:
OFF
Standard Sensitivity
ON
High Sensitivity
4. Connect the PP3 alkaline battery to the battery clip.
Note:
When the 9V alkaline battery is connected, the LED behind the lens will flash for -3
minutes until the PIR has warmed-up and stabilized. The LED will then stop flashing and turn
OFF.
Testing The PIR Detector
Before testing the PIR Detector ensure that the system is in Service Mode.
With the PIR Detector set in Walk Test mode (Switch 4) and mounted in position on the wall, allow
-3 minutes for the PIR Detector to stabilize before commencing the Walk Test.
1. Walk into and move slowly around the protected area, each time the PIR Detector senses your
movement the LED behind the Lens will flash.
If necessary re-adjust the detection pattern by changing the mounting position of the PCB within
the PIR housing.
. Reconfigure the PIR Detector for normal operation mode by setting DIP4 of SW3 to OFF and refit
in position.
Note:
In normal operation, the LED behind the PIR Detector lens will not flash on movement
detection, (unless the battery is low).
Note:
When the PIR Detector is fully installed, i.e. battery cover is refitted; the unit will not detect
movement for approximately 45 seconds after each activation. (This feature is designed to
conserve battery power and maximize the battery life).
