G4567 Passive Infrared Detector
Instructions for Use
Congratulations on your purchase of the Quorum A-160 Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor. Used in conjunction with the Quo-
rum A-160 Security Monitor and A-160 RF Receiver, you PIR Sensor will help secure any entry in your home, apartment,
or office. When the RF Receiver receives an electronic signal from a PIR Sensor, it causes the Security Monitor alarm to
sound, startling and intruder and alerting you of their presence.
In addition to the PIR Sensor, the RF Receiver will accept signals from the A-160 Window/Door Sensor and the A-160
Glass Break Sensor. Contact your Quorum Distributor for more information or to order any of these products.
Tamper Switch
The PIR Sensor has a tamper switch installed on the main circuit board. Whenever the two sections of the case are pulled
apart, the switch will open, triggering the sensor to send a signal to the base unit. Ensure that the Security Monitor is turned
off prior to opening the case.
Adjustments
All adjustable components on the circuit board are factory-set for proper operation of the sensor. Except where instructed
in these instructions, do no change any of the settings on the circuit board, as this may make your sensor fail to operate and
will void your warranty.
Installing Your Sensor
The PIR Sensor is designed to detect up to 40 feet away a moving heat source the size of a person. It has a cone of coverage
approximately 90 degrees wide, directed straight ahead and downward from the unit (see figure 1). It should be installed
to cover likely avenues of approach to and from the entryways of the house. Other possible coverage areas are hallways
and areas around valuables. For installation tips specific to your home, consult your Quorum Distributor. This unit is not
recommended for outdoor installation.
1. Open the sensor by depressing the rectangular tab on top of the casing while pulling the two
sections apart.
2. Using the hardware provided with the sensor, attach the back plate of the sensor to the wall.
3. Proceed to the next section.
Setting the Electronic Address
There are six DIP switches inside the PIR Sensor, which are used to set the electronic address of the unit. Setting a unique
electronic address decreases the likelihood of interference with other radio devices in your area. You should set these
switches to the same electronic address as the one for your RF Receiver.
1. If you have not already done so, open the PIR Sensor.
2. To move a switch to the on or off position, push it with a paper clip or other narrow object.
3. Proceed to the next section.
