indicate a supervision trouble condition or a stored alarm
event.
6.2 Sensitivity Mode (S2 and S3)
Sensitivity modes depend on the type of coverage desired and
the installation environment.
• Standard Sensitivity: Tolerates environment extremes on this
setting, but requires the largest amount of intruder motion to
achieve an alarm.
• Intermediate Sensitivity: The recommended setting for most
installations. Use in locations where an intruder is expected to
cover only a small portion of the protected area. Tolerates
normal environments on this setting. The detector is shipped
in in the Intermediate Sensitivity mode.
• High Sensitivity: The setting for fast response to intruder
signals. For use only in extremely quiet environments where
ceiling drafts, and thermal and illumination transients are not
anticipated.
Note:
Although the sensitivity modes provide different degrees
of tolerance to environmentally caused alarms, the
installer should assure peak background noise voltage
readings do not exceed
±
0.15 VDC from the reference
level. (See Section 9.0 Final Tests).
6.3 Motion Monitor Timer (S4 and S5)
Set switches S4 and S5 for the desired Motion Monitor time (see
Section 10.0 Supervision Features). The detector is shipped
with the Motion Monitor switches set in the disabled
position.
7.0 Signal Gain
The D9560CM permits selection of the signal
gain depending upon the environment to be
protected. The gain select jumper is located
under the optical module.
• High Gain: Recommended for large coverage applications up
to 60 ft. (18.3 m) in diameter. The D9560CM is shipped in this
setting. If the gain jumper is missing, the unit will default to
High Gain.
• Low Gain: Recommended for applications where the area to
be covered is 40 ft. (12.2 m) or less in diameter and for
applications where the High Gain setting may be too sensitive
for environmental extremes.
Note: Setting the D9560CM for Low Gain reduces the coverage
area to 40 ft. (12.2 m) in diameter
.
8.0 Setup and Walk Testing
• Attach a TR6000 test cord to the Noise Voltage terminals.
Since the outside terminals are common, polarity is not
important and the black lead may be toward or away from the
optical module.
• Attach a Sonalert™ at this time if one will
be used during walk testing.
Note:
The use of a Sonalert™ type device
(sounder) will provide an audible tone
during the time the unit is in alarm. Of
the three available connector pins, the
center pin is positive (+) with respect to
either outside pin (outside pins are
common (-)).
Sonalert™ is a trademark of Mallory.
• Place the cover on the unit, and twist-lock it
clockwise into place.
Note: Be sure the TC6000 and Sonalert™ leads are dressed
through the cutout.
• Apply power to the unit.
• Wait at least two minutes, after applying power, to start walk
tests.
Note: Walk testing should be done across the coverage pattern
as shown.
• The edge of the coverage pattern is determined when the
Alarm/Test LED indicator (and optional Sonalert™, if installed)
first turns on.
• Walk test the unit from all directions to determine the bound-
aries.
• After completion of the walk tests, remove the Sonalert™ (if
installed).
9.0 Final Tests
9.1 Noise Measurement
Note:
Meter readings are very important in determining
background disturbance levels and catch margin sensitiv-
ity.
• Connect a 20,000 ohm/volt (or greater) DC
VOM to the Noise Voltage connector using
the TC6000 as shown. Set meter scale for
about 3 VDC.
• The base reference level for reading background noise or
target voltages is approximately 2.0 VDC. Installations in quiet
environments, therefore, will result in a steady meter reading
between 1.9 and 2.1 VDC. Look for areas and sources of
thermal disturbances if the meter fluctuates greatly.
9.2 False Alarm Prevention
• Turn on all heating and cooling sources that would normally be
in operation during times of protection. Stand away from the
unit and outside the coverage pattern, then monitor the
background noise for at least three minutes.
Readings should not deviate from the reference level more
than
±
0.15 VDC. For readings outside these limits; eliminate
the cause, rotate the unit slightly, or mask out the mirror
segment(s) looking at the thermal disturbance.
9.3 Coverage Margin
• Again walk across the farthest edge of required coverage.
A minimum voltage change of 1 VDC from the reference level
is required in the wintertime when the background temperature
is cool. This will make up for summertime, when the back-
ground is warmer. If testing the unit in the summertime, the
minimum recommended voltage change is 0.75 VDC.
• When testing is completed, remove the TC6000 test cord, and
twist-lock the cover into place.
10.0 Supervision Features
The D9560CM performs several supervision features that,
combined with the advanced motion detection capabilities of the
detector, provide an extremely high level of security. A supervi-
sion trouble condition is indicated at the detector by the Alarm/
Test LED (see the Supervision Display Chart).
