B July 2001 Installation Instructions Product Summary A motion sensor (passive-infrared or PIR) detects movement by sensing the infrared energy emitted from a body as it moves across its field of view. When this motion is detected, the sensor transmits an alarm signal. Install motion sensors to protect areas where door/window sensors are impractical or not needed. For example, use a motion sensor to protect large areas or open floor plans. Motion sensors can also provide backup protection in areas where door/window sensors exist. This wireless motion sensor includes the following features: ‰ Field-selectable coverage area; 33 or 50 feet ‰ Field-selectable sensitivity modes; 2-pulse or 4-pulse ‰ 135-second transmitter lockout time after an alarm that helps extend battery life ‰ Cover-activated tamper ‰ Supervisory signal transmitted every 64 minutes to the control panel ‰ Sensor low battery reports (trouble) to the control panel Included with the sensor is a thin cardboard undercrawl mask and snap-in plastic masks (installed at the factory). Self-adhesive masking strips are also included. Installation Guidelines ‰ If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet of the panel. While a transmitter may have an open-air range of 500 feet or more, the installation site can have a significant effect on transmitter range. Changing the sensor location may help overcome adverse wireless conditions. ‰ Mount the sensor permanently on a flat wall or in a corner. Do not set it on a shelf. ‰ For installations without pets, the required mounting height is 7 1/2 feet. ‰ Mount the motion sensor on an insulated, outside wall facing in. ‰ Mount the motion sensor on a rigid surface which is free from vibrations. ‰ Position the sensor so it faces a solid reference point, like a wall. ‰ Do not aim the sensor at windows, fireplaces, air conditioners, heaters/heating vents, or place it in direct sunlight. ‰ Position the sensor to protect an area where intruders are most likely to walk across the detection pattern (see Figure 1). Person walking across detection path 8362G04B.DS4 Figure 1. Overhead View of Detection Pattern ‰ Do not mount the sensor near duct work or other large metallic surfaces which may affect the RF signals (see "Final Testing" on page 4). Actual acceptable transmitter range should be verified for each installation. ‰ Windows should be closed in any area which has an armed motion sensor. ‰ The cardboard undercrawl mask installed at the factory (see Figure 2) blocks coverage within 5 feet of the sensor. Figure 2. Cardboard Undercrawl Mask Location 1RWH The cardboard undercrawl mask should remain installed when sensor jumper J1 is set to the BI position. See the section "Setting the Sensor Coverage Area and Sensitivity" for complete information on sensor jumper settings. 1
