When deciding upon the mounting position for the PIR Detector the following points should be
considered to ensure trouble free operation:
1. Do not position the PIR Detector facing a window or where it is exposed to or facing direct
sunlight. PIR Detectors are not suitable for use in conservatories or for external use.
. Do not position the PIR Detector where it is exposed to draughts.
3. Do not position the PIR Detector directly above a heat source, (e.g. fire, radiator, boiler, etc).
4. Where possible, mount the PIR 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 locate the PIR 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 System.
Note:
When the system is armed, pets should not be allowed into an area protected by a PIR
Detector as their movement will trigger the PIR and generate an alarm.
Note:
DO NOT fix the PIR 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 Detector
Ensure that the system is in Service Mode
1. Undo and remove the fixing screw from the bottom edge of the PIR Detector. Carefully pull the
bottom edge of the PIR Detector away from the rear cover and then slide down to release the top
clips.

. Carefully drill the required mounting holes in the rear cover using a 3mm drill relevant to whether
the PIR Detector 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 5mm 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.
