PASSIVE INFRARED 

LONG RANGE

 

DETECTOR

«FOTON-15A»

1 General Information

Passive infrared long range detector «Foton-15A» (hereinafter, the 

Detector) is designed for detecting intrusion into a protected space and 
generating an alarm message by consumption current value changing. 

The Detector can be installed in heated or unheated spaces having 

different application: in museums, offices, cottages, flats, shops, as 
well as in warehouses, garages, hangars.

The Detector generates three types of messages:
- «Norm»;
- «Alarm»;
- «Tamper».

The  Detector  provides  digital  temperature  compensation  of  it’s 

detectability.

2 Features

- Dual-element pyrodetector;
- Power supply by the alarm loop (AL);

- Immunity to insect’s intrusion to the pyrodetector;

- Swivel bracket (supplied) providing ease of Detector installation 

and detection zone repositioning;

- LED indicator for the Detector operation visual control. LED 

indication is switched ON or disabled by applying a jumper to one of 
the «IND» wafer position («ON» or «OFF»);

- Two modes of alarm messages generation: «Short-circuit» (SC) 

(by increasing current consumption value) and «Open-circuit» (OC) 
(by decreasing current consumption value). Required operation mode 
is assigned either by removal SC jumper, or by applying OC jumper to 
the «OC» wafer position.

7 Choosing Place of Installation

When choosing the Detector installation place, take note of the fact 

that the detection zone may be limited by non-transparent objects 
(curtains, houseplants, cabinets, bookcases, etc.), as well as glass and 
mesh partitions. There must be no windows, air conditioners, space 
heaters or heating radiators in the Detector visibility range. 

When mounting choose the Detector orientation in such a position, 

that any potential directions of intrusion should cross sensitive zones 
of the Detector.

Power supply and alarm loops should be wired far enough from load 

cables. There must be no animals or birds in the protected space.

8  The Detector Installation

Choose the place of installation (Cl. 7):
- unfasten the latch through the opening, which is situated downside 

the detector case by means of screwdriver and put off the detector 
cover (Figure 2);

- when installing the detector without swivel bracket it is necessary  

to put off the PCB by means of pushing up it’s fixing arm;

- drill the holes in the base of the detector for wiring and fastening 

the detector;

- choose the place of installation, mark the places for mounting 

holes with the regard to detector base (or swivel bracket) openings;

- drill the holes in the wall with regard to market places;
- pass the wire through the mounting holes in the base, leaving 

several centimeters of installation wire for it’s fastening inside the case;

- fix the base of the detector case on the wall (swivel bracket) at 

the chosen place. In case of swivel bracket using, unscrew the cap 
screw from the swivel bracket sphere. Fit the square bulge of the swivel
