<NOTE>
When changing batteries, after removing the old batteries, press the Tamper Switch twice to fully discharge before inserting new
batteries.
Getting Started
Pull out the battery insulator to activate battery.
The LED indicator will flash for 30 seconds. (The PIR is warming up). During the warm up period, the PIR will not be activated. It is
recommended that you stay away from the detection area during this time. After the warm up period is over, the LED will turn off and
the PIR will be ready for operation.
Put the Control Panel into learning mode, refer to Control Panel manual for detail..
Press the test button on the front cover.
Refer to Control Panel manual to complete the learn-in process.
After the PIR is learnt-in, put the Control Panel into “Walk Test” mode, hold the PIR in the desired location, and press the Test
button to confirm this location is within signal range of the Control Panel, refer to Control Panel manual to complete Walk Test.
When you are satisfied that the PIR work in the chosen location, you can proceed to mounting.
Mounting Method
The PIR is designed to be mounted on either a flat surface or in a corner situation with fixing screws and plugs provided.
The base has knockouts, where the plastic is thinner and can be broken for mounting purpose. Two knockouts are for surface fixing
and four knockouts are for corner fixing as shown in the picture
Surface mounting:
I. Remove the fixing screw and cover assembly.
II. Break through the knockouts on the inside of base
III. Using the holes as a template, drill holes in the surface.
IV. Insert the wall plugs if fixing it into plaster or brick.
V. Screw the base into the wall plugs.
VI. Screw the cover onto the base.
Corner mounting:
I. Break through the four corner knockouts.
II. Using the four holes as a template, drill holes in the surface of the corner
III. Insert the wall plugs
IV. Screw the base into the wall plug.
V. Screw the cover onto the base.
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 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.
