OMNPMD1-BI02
Thank you for choosing the Paradox®
Omnia™ OMN-PMD1 Wireless Motion
Detector for your professional security
applications. You have selected one of the
most advanced wireless motion detectors
available on the market today. Every wireless
motion detector is 100% quality-control tested
using computerized test equipment,
guaranteeing proper operation and unit
durability. The OMN-PMD1 Wireless Motion
Detector includes the following features:
• Dual rectangular element sensor
• Auto Pulse Signal Processing (Patented)
• Auto Temperature Compensation
• “No Dead Zone” standard lens
• Low battery / signal transmission / alarm red
LED indicator
• Built-in antenna
• Tamper switch
• Three “AA” alkaline batteries (included)
• Range: 500 ft (150m)
INSTALLATION SITE
Using a Paradox® standard lens at the
recommended installation height of 7ft (2m)
±10%, the Omnia OMN-PMD1 will provide full
coverage from 4ft (1m) to 45ft (14m), without
any dead zones (see figure 2 on reverse side).
When installing transmitters, please be sure
there is at least 1ft (30cm) between each
transmitter and 5ft (2m) between the
transmitters and the receiver. Avoid placing
the motion detector in proximity to potential
sources of interference such as: reflective
surfaces, direct air flow from vents, fans,
windows, sources of steam/oil vapor, and
objects causing temperature changes such as
heaters, refrigerators, ovens, and infrared light
sources.
CHANGING THE LENS
Warning: Do not touch the sensor surface;
this could result in a motion detector
malfunction. If necessary, clean the sensor
surface with pure alcohol using a soft cloth.
The motion detector comes equipped with the
Paradox "no dead zone" WA-1 standard lens.
For more information on the full range of
Paradox lenses, please visit our Web site at
www.paradox.ca. If another lens pattern is
required, choose the desired lens and perform
the following while referring to Figure 1:
1. Remove the front cover of the detector (1)
by gently pushing the cover pin (11) in with
a screwdriver.
2. Pull out the bezel (3) by lightly pressing on
the bezel pins (4) and (5).
3. Remove the lens (2) and replace it with the
alternate lens (Note: when the new lens is
properly installed, the grooves should be
inside the bezel and the lens catalogue
number on top.).
4. Verify that the lens is centered and replace
the bezel by lightly pressing it into place.
SIGNAL STRENGTH TEST
In order to verify the receiver's reception of the
motion detector’s signal, perform a signal
strength test as described in the Omnia
Wireless Receiver Module’s Reference and
Installation Manual before finalizing the
installation of the motion detector. Prior to
performing the test, make sure the batteries
have been inserted into the battery
compartment to power the detector. Also verify
that the motion detector has been assigned to
a zone according to the instructions in the
Omnia Wireless Receiver Module’s Reference
and Installation Manual. If the transmission is
weak, relocating the transmitter by a few
inches can greatly improve the reception.
MOUNTING
Avoid bending, cutting or altering the antenna
or mounting the detector near or on metal as
this may affect signal transmission.
Corner Mount
Carefully remove the PCB by loosening the
PCB screw (6) and drill or punch out holes A,
B, C and D from the back plastic case (see
Figure 3 on reverse side). Screw the back
plastic case onto the installation site and
screw the PCB back into place.
Flat Surface Mount
Carefully remove the PCB by loosening PCB
screw (6) and drill or punch out holes E, F, G
and H from the back plastic case (see Figure 3
on reverse side). Screw the back plastic case
onto the installation site and screw the PCB
back into place.
JUMPERS
These motion detectors are equipped with four
jumpers used to set the operational modes of
the motion detector. In the following
instructions, when referring to jumper settings,
refer to Figure 1 for jumper locations.
Warning: After changing the jumper settings,
replace the cover (1) to close the tamper
switch (8), or press and release the tamper
switch, in order to save the changes.
JP1 - Check-in Supervision Time Value
ON (default) = 12
OFF = 6
JP2 - Check-in Supervision Base Time
ON (default) = hours
OFF = minutes
For example, to obtain a Check-in Supervision
Timer of 6 minutes, set JP1 = OFF and JP2 =
OFF.
Warning: Use the same supervision setting as
in the Omnia Wireless Receiver Module.
JP3 - Sensitivity Setting
ON = (Low Sensitivity) In "2-6 mode", the
amount of movement required to generate an
alarm is doubled. The use of 2-6 mode is
recommended in areas where the incidence of
false alarms may be greater.
OFF (default) = (High Sensitivity) In "1-3
mode", you should not be able to cross more
than one complete zone (consisting of two
beams - left and right sensor detecting
elements) in the coverage area with any kind
of movement. Use this setting for the majority
of installations.
JP4 - Fast/Slow Mode
ON (default) = "Fast Mode" is recommended
for the majority of installations.
OFF = "Slow Mode" is suggested in areas where
the incidence of false alarms may be greater.
JP5 - LED ON/OFF (see below)
ON (default) = LED activated
OFF = LED deactivated
RED LED INDICATOR
The red LED indicates the following:
Alarm
The red LED (9) will illuminate for a period of 2
seconds whenever the motion detector detects
any kind of movement.
Low Battery
The motion detector performs a battery test
every 12 hours and if a battery voltage of 3.1V
or less is detected during this test, the red LED
will flash at 5 second intervals.
Signal Transmission
The red LED indicator light will blink rapidly
when the motion detector transmits a signal to
the receiver.
POWERING THE WIRELESS
DETECTOR
Verifying proper polarity, insert three “AA”
alkaline batteries into the motion detector’s
battery compartment (7). To replace the
batteries, remove the old batteries, then press
and release the tamper switch and wait 60
seconds in order to reinitialize the unit. Insert
new batteries while verifying proper polarity.
Warning: After inserting the batteries in the
motion detector, a power-up sequence will
begin (lasting 10-30 seconds). During this
time, the red LED will flash and the detector
will not detect an open zone or tamper.
ALIVE SOFTWARE
In order to conserve battery life, after
transmitting an open zone and alarm signal
(LED on for 2 sec.), the motion detector will fall
into Energy Save Mode where it will not
transmit any alarm signals for approximately 5
minutes. With the motion detector’s Alive
Software, the red LED will continue to flash to
indicate a detection even while in Energy Save
Mode. When the five-minute Energy Save
Mode ends, the motion detector returns to
normal operation.
NOTE: If the detector’s cover is removed and
then replaced while in Energy Save Mode, the
first detection will trigger an alarm signal.
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE
COMPENSATION
These motion detectors are equipped with
"automatic temperature compensation", which
adjusts amplifier gain to maintain coverage
levels across a wide range of temperatures.
AUTO PULSE SIGNAL PROCESSING
Patented Auto Pulse Signal Processing™
provides a variable pulse count rate in
response to signal shape, strength and width.
The motion detector will immediately generate
an alarm for very strong signals, or switch
automatically to pulse counting as signals
become weaker. The motion detector permits
a very high pulse count rate (up to 6 or more)
in the presence of low level signals. Ordinary
fixed pulse count motion detectors cannot
provide this high pulse count rate due
to a heavy loss of detectability at any
pulse count rate higher than 3.
