Installation
Decide on the location of the PIR and if it is to be corner or surface mounted.
After the installation site is selected, follow the steps described above to mount the PIR.
Press the Test Button to enter Test Mode. Walk around the protected area noting when the LED lights up and check that the
detection coverage is adequate.
When detection coverage is found to be satisfying, installation is now completed.
Installation Recommendations
The PIR is designed to give a typical detection range of 12 meters when mounted at 2 meters above ground.
For Pet-Immune PIR series, it gives a typical PET IMMUNE range of 7 meters when mounted at 1.9-2.0 meters above ground. If mounted
higher above ground, it gives a farther PET IMMUNE range.
To take full advantage of PIR, the following guidelines should be considered:
It is recommended to install the PIR in the following locations
Mount the detector at 1.9M-2.0M height for best performance:
<IMPORTANT NOTE>
For the most desirable performance of Pet-Immune PIR series, remember to adjust the height of PIR mounting site with respect to
the height of the tallest animal in the house. Taller-than-average pets may require the PIR to be mounted higher for the Pet
Immunity purpose.
When deciding on the height of the PIR mounting site, remember to take the possible blind spot into consideration. The blind spot
underneath the PIR enlarges proportionally to the height of the PIR mounting site.
Please note that performance is affected by external factors, such as height of detected object, desired detection range,
installation area…etc. The suggested mounting height could be adjusted according to actual installation environment factors.
Mount where the animals cannot come to the detection area by climbing on furniture or other objects.
Don’t aim the detector at stairways the animals can climb on.
In a position such that an intruder would normally move across the PIR’s field of view from side to side.
In a corner to give the widest view.
Where its field of view will not be obstructed e.g. by curtains, ornaments etc.
Limitations
Do not position a PIR to look directly at a door protected by a Door Contact, this could cause the Door Contact and PIR radio
signals to be transmitted at the same instant when entering, canceling each other out.
Do not install the PIR completely exposed to direct sunlight.
Avoid installing the PIR in areas where devices may cause rapid change of temperature in the detection area, i.e. air conditioner,
heaters, etc.
Avoid large obstacles in the detection area.
Not pointing directly at sources of heat e.g. fires or boilers, and not above radiators.
Avoid moving objects in the detection area i.e. curtain, wall hanging etc.
