3. INSTALLATION
3.1 DIP Switches Setup
Remove the 2 detector's bottom covers (see Figure 3. steps 1-5) to gain
access to the DIP switches. Set the DIP switches according to Table 1:

3.2 Battery Insertion (Figure 3)
It is recommended to perform the first batteries insertion on a desk.
Upon battery insertion, the LED will flash for 60 seconds and then the
detector will enter into 15 minutes walk-test mode.
3.3 Enrolling
Enroll the detectors into the alarm system's memory as described in
the alarm system installer guide ENROLLING section. When
instructed to initiate transmission from the detector, activate the
tamper switch, i.e. open the detector bottom cover (see Fig. 3, steps
1 - 3) and then close it.
3.4 Installation
A. Bracket installation (see figure 4) firmly fix the bracket on a
stable wall or pillar. The orientation of the fixed bracket should be
as parallel as possible to the surveyed ground surface.
B. Adjust detector's horizontal and vertical angles (see Fig. 5),
according to the surveyed ground surface. The vertical angle
indicator position for various installation height and coverage
distance combinations is detailed in Table 2 (the information refers
to a relatively flat surveyed area. however, in any case the vertical
adjustment should be verified by walk-test).
C. Fasten the detector to the bracket (see Fig. 4 step 4).

3.5 Test
A. Set the detector in Walk-Test mode, as follows:
Open the detector bottom cover (see Fig. 3, steps 1 - 3) and then press
and release the tamper switch. The LED will flash for 60 seconds and
then the detector will enter into 15 minutes walk-test mode.
Note: The detector automatically enters into 15 minutes walk-test
mode after battery installation or Tamper switch recovery.
B. Adjust the detector in the horizontal plane to cover the required
protected area.
