3. Reconfigure the PIR Detector into Normal
operation mode and refit in position.
Note: When the detector is fully installed i.e. battery
cover is refitted; the unit will not detect movement
for approximately 45 seconds after each activation.
(This feature is presant to conserve battery power
and maximise the battery life).
MAGNETIC CONTACT
DETECTOR(S)
The Magnetic Contact Set comprises two parts; a
Detector and a Magnet. They are designed to be fitted
to either doors or windows with the Magnet screwed
to the moving/opening part and the Contact screwed
to the fixed door or window frame.
When the protected door or window is closed the
Detector Contact Switch is held closed by the Magnetic
field from the Magnet. Opening the protected door or
window will remove the magnetic field and allow the
Contact Detector Switch to open generating an alarm
signal, (if the system is armed).
The Magnetic Contact Detector has the facility to
connect an additional wired Magnetic Contact. This
must be of a normally closed contact type with the
contact being opened in order to generate an alarm
condition.
Any number of Magnetic Contact Detectors can be
used with the system, providing they are all coded
with the system House Code and are mounted
within effective radio range of the Solar Siren.
The Magnetic Contact Detector is powered by two
CR2032 type Lithium cells which under normal
conditions will have an expected life in excess of
1 year. Under normal battery conditions the LED on
the Detector will not illuminate when the Detector
s triggered, (unless in test mode). However, under
low-battery conditions this LED will be illuminated
for approx 1s when the detector is triggered. When
this occurs the batteries should be replaced as soon
as possible.
POSITIONING THE MAGNETIC
CONTACTS
The Magnetic Contact Detector is suitable for
mounting in dry interior locations only.
Decide which doors and windows are to be protected
by fitting Magnetic Contact Detectors, (usually the
front and back doors as a minimum will have
Magnetic Contact Detectors fitted). However
additional detectors may be fitted where required
to other more vulnerable doors or windows, (e.g.
garage, patio/conservatory doors etc).
Ensure that the position selected for the Magnetic
Contact detector is within effective range of the Siren,
(refer to "Testing of Remote Control").
Note: Take care when fixing the Detector to a metal
frame, or mounting within 1m of metalwork (i.e.
radiators, water pipes, etc) as this could affect the
radio range of the device. If required, it may be
necessary (under exceptional circumstances) to
space the Magnet and Detector away from the metal
surface using a plastic or wooden spacer to achieve
the necessary radio range.
INSTALLING THE MAGNETIC
CONTACTS
Ensure that the system is in service mode.
1. Remove the battery cover by sliding and lifting it
off. (DO NOT use a screw driver to lever off).
2. Remove the battery holder by carefully tilting up
the end and pulling the connector off of the printed
circuit board.
3. Mount the Detector to the fixed part of the frame
along the opening edge opposite the hinges
using either the double sided adhesive tape or
screws provided.
