8.  Align the detector. See “Aligning the beam and 
walk testing the detector” on page 8. 
9. 
Remove the blinders and add the stickers, if 
required. See “Selecting the coverage pattern” 
on page 9 and “Blocking the curtains” on page 
10. 
10. 
Insert the insect-protection caps (Figure 10, 
item 1). 
11. Close the cover (item 2). 
12. Replace the custom insert (item 3). 
Setting the detector 
The detector must be restarted (repowered) after 
changing the settings or detection pattern.

Jumpers 
J1: PIR sensitivity 
It changes the distance-to-alarm delay (the speed 
of the decision algorithm); the higher the sensitivity, 
the faster the sensor will react. 
See Figure 14. 
There are three different PIR sensitivities. 
Low sensitivity: Use where there is a risk 
of false alarms. Do not use in long-range 
applications (>20 m / 65.6 ft.) (item 1). 
Medium sensitivity: Most situations 
(factory default) (item 2). 
High sensitivity: Use for high-risk 
situations. Recommended for use in 
corridors (item 3). 
Note: For UL/cUL installations, range of 65 ft and 
180 ft requires maximum sensitivity setting (item 3). 
J2: Curtain location mode (CLM) 
It allows you to identify where the edges of the 
curtains are precisely located. When an intruder 
enters a curtain, the red and yellow LEDs flash 
alternatively. 
See Figure 15. 
J2 is also used for long-range alignment (see 
“Aligning the beam and walk testing the detector” 
on page 8). 
Off (item 1). 
On (item 2). See “Aligning without the 
alignment tool” on page 8. 
J3: Dual loop (onl
y available on VE735) 
It is used to set the alarm and tamper relay. It 
allows you to connect the detector to any control 
panel. 
See Figures 16 and 17. 
EOL Loop (4.7 kΩ) 
Terminals 4 and 5 of the alarm output must 
be used when connecting to the control 
panel. 
Isolated Alarm and Tamper Loop 
(factory default) 
Tamper is isolated from the alarm relay. 
The EOL resistor in the tamper circuit is 
short-circuited. 
Terminals 3 and 4 of the alarm output must 
be used when connecting to the control 
panel. 
Dual Loop 
Tamper and alarm loop can be monitored 
over two wires. 
In a normal situation (no alarm) the dual 
loop impedance is 4.7 kΩ. For a detector 
alarm, the alarm relay contact opens and 
the impedance of the dual loop increases 
to 9.4 kΩ, indicating an alarm. When the 
detector housing is opened, the tamper 
circuit opens and the dual loop is 
interrupted, indicating a tamper alarm.
