These instructions cover basic set-up. For more
advanced functions, please refer to your System
Installation and Operating Manual.
Introduction
PIR Detectors are designed to detect movement in a
protected area by detecting changes in infra-red radiation
levels caused, for example, when a person moves within
or across the devices field of vision. If movement is
detected an alarm signal will be triggered, (if the system
and alarm zone is armed).
Note: PIR Detectors will also detect animals, so ensure that
pets are not in areas fitted with PIR Detectors when the
system is armed.
Any number of PIR Detectors can be used with your
system providing they are all coded with the system house
code, and are mounted within effective radio range.
The PIR Detector is powered by a PP3 alkaline battery.
Under normal operating conditions this will provide an
expected life in excess of 1 year. When the battery level
becomes low the PIR Detector will flash a red LED behind
the lens. When this occurs the battery should be replaced
as soon as possible
.
Choosing a Position for the
PIR Detector
The recommended position for a PIR Detector is in the
corner of a room mounted at a height of between 2 and
2.5m. At this height, the PIR Detector will have a maximum
range of up to 12m with a field of view of 110°.
The position of the PCB inside the PIR can be set to 5
different positions to adjust the range of the PIR Detector.
Setting the PCB in position 3 will reduce the range to 9m
approximately, with position 1 providing a range of 6m
approximately. The recommended position setting for the
PCB is in position 5.
Note: The range as indicated above refers to the linear
distance in front of the PIR Detector.
When deciding upon the mounting position for the PIR
Detector the following points should be considered to
ensure trouble free operation:
1. Do not position the PIR Detector facing a window or
where it is exposed to or facing direct sunlight. PIR
Detectors are not suitable for use in conservatories or
for external use.
2. Do not position the PIR Detector where it is exposed
to draughts.
3. Do not position the PIR Detector directly above a heat
source, (e.g. fire, radiator, boiler, etc).
4. Where possible, mount the PIR Detector in the corner of
the room so that the logical path of an intruder would
cut across the fan detection pattern. PIR Detectors
respond more effectively to movement across the
device than to movement directly towards it.
5. Do not locate the PIR Detector in a position where it is
subject to excessive vibration.
6. Ensure that the position selected for the PIR Detector
is within effective range of the System.
Note: When the system is armed, pets should not be
allowed into an area protected by a PIR Detector as their
movement will trigger the PIR and generate an alarm.
Note: DO NOT fix the PIR Detector to metalwork or locate
the unit within 1m of metalwork (i.e. radiators, water pipes,
etc) as this could affect the radio range of the device.
