Warnings This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules, Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Introduction: The IR-3000 is a wireless PIR sensor that is compatible with the Dakota Alert 3000 Series of transmitters and receivers.
PIR settings: Loosen the phillips screw on the bottom of the case and swivel the top cover up to reveal the PIR board (figure 1). (The screw is captured in the case and will not come completely out.
2. Locate the 10 dip switches on the transmitter module (figure 3). 3. The first eight dip switches are for the frequency setting (256 combinations). Set switches 1-8 (figure 3-3) to match the eight switches in the receiver.3. Switches 9 and 10 (figure 3-4) are for zone/channel setting on the transmitter. The four zones are listed below.
Setting the detection area: The IR-3000 comes with a user modifiable mask on the lens (figure 4) to adjust the width of the detection area from approximately 16˚ to 100˚. The mask comes in two pieces, and fits into the slots above & below the lens cover. Each half of the mask is perforated and can broken into three separate strips (figure 4). Each strip of the mask represents approximately 16˚ of viewing angle. The user breaks off the appropriate number of strips to provide the required viewing angle.
Swivel Mount The IR-3000 has a swivel mount (figure 6) which also provides for adjustment of the detection area. The mount can be adjusted right or left up to 80o and up or down up to 50o. The swivel mount can be attached to the desired surface with the provided mounting screws. The sensor is then attached to the mount using the notch on the back (figure 6). NOTE: The mount will slide easily into the slot and lock into position one way only. If the mount does not slide into the slot, do not force it.
Troubleshooting the IR-3000 Although the IR-3000 should be very reliable, there are occasions when you might have false alarms or a failure to alert. If you are getting false alarms, please try this: • Set filter jumper to “ON”. • Decrease range jumper. • Make sure that the transmitter is not pointing at a road in the distance. • The sun may be causing false signals; try to relocate the transmitter to a different position. • Make sure the transmitter is not detecting animals.
