G4567 Passive Infrared Detector
Installing the Battery
1. If you have not already done so, open the PIR Sensor.
2. Insert a 9-volt alkaline battery, connecting the negative terminal of the battery to the terminal marked “GND” on the
sensor circuit board.
3. Re-attach the two sections of the sensor by snapping the front section back into place.
Selecting the 15-Minutes Disable Period
The PIR is set at the factory for a 15-minute disable period. In other words, after the sensor is triggered it is disabled for 15
minutes to conserve battery power by preventing multiple triggering from the same moving heat source. To switch from a
15-minute to a 15-second disable period, follow these instructions. Please remember that turning off the 15-minute disable
period will considerably decrease the expected battery lifespan.
1. If you have not already done so, open the PIR Sensor.
2. Locate the black pull-tab on the circuit board inside the PIR Sensor (see figure 2).
3. Pull the tab off of the top two pins, then push it completely onto the bottom two pins.
4. Re-attach the two sections of the sensor by snapping the front section back into place.
Testing Your Sensor
You should test your PIR Sensor after installing it, and once a month thereafter. Before testing your sensor, your RF Re-
ceiver must be installed.
1. Note the current setting of the SENSITIVITY knob on the back of your Security Monitor, then turn the sensitivity
down to the minimum setting (0).
2. Turn the Security Monitor keyswitch to TEST, the red ARMED lamp will glow and the Security Monitor will emit a
short test tone.
3. Walk in front of the sensor within the intended coverage area. The Security Monitor should emit a series of several
beeps or clicks. If it does not, refer to the troubleshooting section at the end of these instructions.
4. Turn the Security Monitor keyswitch to OFF.
5. Return the SENSITIVITY knob to its original setting.
Important Points
• The PIR Sensor should not be exposed to water or excessive moisture. Clean with a cloth dampened with water.
• Only Quorum accessories should be used with the PIR Sensor.
• Replace the battery only with a 9-volt battery. The estimated battery life is 6 months.
Troubleshooting
Problem:
Frequent false alarms.
Solution:
Change the electronic address on your PIR Sensor, RF Receiver and all other sensors.
Solution:
Make sure you are using A-160 sensors.
Solution:
Disconnect the RF Receiver from the Security Monitor, then adjust the sensitivity of the Security Monitor ac-
cording to the steps in the Security Monitor instruction book.
Solution:
Check each of your RF Sensors for correct functioning using the test procedure in the Sensor instructions.
Problem:
A moving person in front of your PIR Sensor does not cause the Security Monitor to sound an alarm.
Solution:
Make certain that the electronic address of your PIR Sensor matches the electronic address of your RF Re-
ceiver.
Solution:
Check that the battery is fresh and correctly installed in your PIR Sensor.
Solution:
Check that the RF Receiver cable is firmly seated in the INPUT socket on the back of the Security Monitor.
Solution:
Check the power supply to your Security Monitor.
Solution:
Turn the Security Monitor key switch to the ARMED position.
