5897-35 RF DUAL TEC Motion Sensor Installation Instructions GENERAL INFORMATION The 5897-35 motion sensor combines dual technology motion detection with reliable 5800 wireless RF in one small package. Within the protected area, the passive infrared (PIR) detector senses changes in infrared energy (such as body heat emitted by an intruder), and turns on the microwave detector which senses the motion. Both technologies must verify intrusion within a preset time interval, virtually eliminating false alarms. To reduce current drain and prolong battery life, the microwave circuitry is dormant until the PIR detects a change in the infrared energy level. In addition, the 5897-35 sensor features a supervision circuit that monitors the microwave technology. If a problem is detected, the sensor will go into alarm. The 5897-35 sensor is also equipped with both a Fresnel lens and multi-segmented PIR mirror. This unique optical system provides dense PIR coverage from directly beneath the unit out to maximum range. FEATURES • Microwave/PIR technology • Dual element PIR • Three minute hold off circuit • Cover tamper switch • Automatic walk-test mode • Simple installation • 5800 Wireless technology • Unique PIR optics • Single edge PIR triggering • Lithium batteries included • Optional barrier and pet- alley lenses available MOUNTING LOCATION Select the best location in the room for both technologies. Aim the sensor toward the interior of the room, away from windows, moving machinery, and heating/cooling sources. Do NOT mount the detector near wire screens or large metal objects. We recommend that you verify the RF reception prior to permanently mounting the sensor. Maximum range is obtained at a mounting height of 7'6" (2.3 m). Make sure the sensor has a clear line of sight to all areas you wish to protect. Infrared energy cannot penetrate solid objects. If the PIR is blocked, the unit will not alarm. MOUNTING PROCEDURE Use the sensor's rear cover to mark the mounting holes. To remove the sensor's rear cover, use a small-blade screwdriver to push up on the latch through the slot in the bottom of the front housing. Gently pull the housings apart at the base first. The printed circuit board (PCB) is mounted in the front housing. Do NOT remove the PCB. Securely mount the rear housing at the desired location. When mounting the sensor on a wall, use the two knockout holes in the back of the rear housing. When mounting the sensor in a corner, use the knockout holes on the beveled corners of the unit. Remove the knock-outs, mark and drill the mounting holes, and mount the transmitter at the desired location. Install the batteries and replace the cover; secure the cover with a #4 (5/16-in.) screw (supplied). INSTALLING THE BATTERIES The 5897-35 operates on four 3V lithium batteries. Please note that the batteries must always be installed and replaced in a set of four! Acceptable battery types include Honeywell #466, Panasonic CR123A, Duracell DL-123A, or Sanyo CR123A. Four batteries, shipped with the unit, must be installed prior to testing. Proper orientation is shown in Figure 2. After battery installation, the unit requires a 60-second warm-up prior to normal operation. NOTE: To prevent excessive battery drain during setup and installation, you should remove the batteries whenever the cover is open and the unit is not being tested. SYSTEM TESTING Opening the front cover of the 5897-35 signals a tamper condition and automatically places the unit in the walk-test mode. This also disables the three-minute hold off circuit. The unit remains in this mode for a period of 8 minutes after the cover has been replaced. There are two walk-test LEDs located at the bottom of the unit behind the lens, one on each side. These LEDs are only active while the unit is in the walk-test mode. Microwave Antenna Test/Alarm Jumper ALARM PIR Range Adjust Antenna Figure 2 Tamper Switch (S1) PCB Layout and Connections Test/Alarm Jumper Walk-Test LEDs A jumper at the bottom of the PCB, next to the Tamper Switch (S1), allows you to test the PIR section separately. Placing the jumper in the "PIR" position, as shown in Figure 2, allows you to walk-test the PIR without activating the microwave circuits. The range of the PIR detector is not adjustable. The PIR's field of view (range) is determined by the mounting height and the type of lens installed. WALK-TEST Walk-testing the 5897-35 motion sensor is a two-stage process. The first step is to walk-test the PIR. Walk across the protected area at the ranges to be covered. Two to four normal steps should make the LEDs light. Since the LEDs are connected in parallel, both LEDs will light at the same time. When there is no motion in the protected area, the LEDs should be off. The second stage is to adjust the range of microwave transmitter. For continued reliability, the sensor should be walk-tested at least once per year. RANGE ADJUSTMENT Returning the jumper to the ALARM position will reactivate the microwave circuits. Remember that as long as the cover is open, the hold off circuit remains disabled. In order to adjust the microwave, the PIR must first see motion, which will activate the microwave circuitry. The microwave range potentiometer is located near the center of the PCB below the battery holder (refer to Figure 2). With the PCB oriented in its correct mounting position and facing you, turning the potentiometer clockwise will INCREASE the range of the microwave. After determining the field of view for the PIR, set the microwave range potentiometer at MINIMUM by turning it counterclockwise as far as it will go. (Use a small screwdriver to turn the range potentiometer.) Then, with the test jumper in the ALARM position, walk-test the sensor, gradually increasing the sensitivity of the microwave until the desired range is obtained.
