MountIng locatIon
The Ness LUX PET Radio PIR is designed for
indoor use only and can be installed in wall or
corner mount locations.
The Standard Swivel Bracket supplied allows wall
mount installation with vertical tilt and horizontal
swivel for adjusting coverage to suit the chosen
mounting height.
The optional Deluxe Swivel Bracket allows LUX to
be ceiling mounting.
LUX can also be installed direct to the wall without
a bracket. In this case, the mounting height should
be carefully chosen to provide the correct detec-
tion coverage for the room size.
Always ensure the detector has a clear line of sight
of the area to be protected as infra-red energy does
not pass through solid objects, (including glass).
Mount the detector in a location where an intruder
is most likely to walk across the coverage pattern.
Corner mounting usually gives the best detection
coverage.
As with all PIR detectors, it is advisable to choose
mounting positions which avoid direct sunlight,
heating or cooling sources and avoid areas of
high humidity which may cause condensation
on the lens.
Always install the detector away from metal
surfaces which may shield radio transmissions.
Before permanently mounting the detector, it is
recommended that you conduct a radio test with
the detector temporarily mounted in the intended
position.
Use the signal strength meter on the alarm panel
as a guide to the best mounting position. Often,
a small change in position can have a dramatic
effect on radio performance due to environmental
effects on radio signals.
Pet rejectIon
The Ness LUX PET Radio PIR should be installed
at heights between 2.1m and 2.4m.
The lower detection zones are optimised to reject
pet detection while the upper detection zones are
optimised for detecting humans.
If using the Standard Swivel Bracket, ensure that
LUX PET is not tilted downwards to prevent the
upper detection zones from intersecting the floor.
Installing the detector lower than 2.1metres
may result in false detection of pets.
Tilting the coverage downwards may result in
false detection of pets.
Install at least 2.1m away from furniture to prevent detection of climbing pets.
correct. upper zones are off the floor.
wrong. too much tilt means the upper
zones will detect pets.
