INSTALLATION
Notes about
y
our motion sensor:
• This motion sensor is for indoor
use only.
• The sensor does not have an
internal alarm sounding device or
power supply. It is designed for
use with a UL-listed central alarm
panel system that provides a mini-
mum of 4 hours of standby power.
• The sensor requires 9- to 16-volt
DC power at 25 milliamps. If your
alarm system’s terminals do not
provide this power, you need an
additional power supply. Your
local RadioShack store sells a
wide variety of suitable alarm sys-
tems and power supplies.
• The sensor’s operating tempera-
ture is 32 to 104°F (0 to 40° C).
• If you use this sensor with a multi-
zone alarm system, you can turn
off the zone where the sensor is
and leave the alarm system’s
other zones on. This lets you arm
your system and walk through the
zone where the sensor is without
triggering the alarm.
CHOOSING A
MOUNTING LOCATION
Important:
Do not mount the sensor
until after you wire it and check the
connections.
You can mount the sensor on the ceil-
ing, a wall or any flat surface.
For reliable operation, choose a loca-
tion where the sensor faces a solid
surface (such as a wall or ceiling) to
use as a steady temperature refer-
ence. If an intruder passes between
the sensor and the surface, the sensor
detects the temperature change.
This sensor is more sensitive to move-
ment across its zone and less sensi-
tive to movement directly toward or
away from the zone, so choose a
mounting location (such as a hallway
wall) where an intruder must walk
across the protected zone.
When you choose the sensor’s mount-
ing location, avoid locations where:
• Sunlight shines directly on the
sensor
• The sensor will be exposed to
humidity or rain
• Any opening (such as a vent, win-
dow, or door) constantly exposes
the sensor to outside elements
• Sources of heat (such as space
heaters, radiators, exposed light
bulbs, fireplaces, or refrigerators)
are in or near the protected zone
• Strong drafts of air (such as from
a central heating vent or an air
conditioner) hit the sensor
• The sensor is aimed at an exterior
metal wall
