5800PIR-OD2 Wireless
Outdoor Motion Detector
Installation and Setup Guide
General Information
The 5800PIR-OD2 Wireless Outdoor Motion Sensor combines the convenience of wireless technology with a full featured outdoor PIR motion
sensor. It has an adjustable range of up to 40ft with 7 selectable horizontal settings to cover a desired area within 180 degrees of its mounting
location. It features white light immunity from low sunlight, headlights and other bright light sources. This detector can discriminate between
people and small animals. It also features a Transmission Lockout that uses either a 5 or 120 second period of inactivity between activations
to help save battery life.
Select the Mounting Position
Position the detector so that the
intruder passes across the
detection field, not into the sensor.
Avoid strong sunlight into the sensor's field.
Avoid moving or swaying objects, trees, and
bushes.
Ensure the sensor can be mounted
on a perpendicular wall or pole that
would make its detection pattern
parallel to the ground.
1. Locate the lock on the bottom side of the motion detector.
2. Use a small screwdriver to unlock the cover by turning the
lock counter-clockwise until it clicks.
DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE
3. Allow a minimum of 4.4"
(110mm) clearance above
the sensor to enable
opening the cover.
4. Remove the Cover by pulling
from the bottom.
5. Remove both screws
from the Main PCB and
pull it from the Back Box.
NOTE: Use CAUTION
when handling the Main
PCB so components are
not damaged.
6. Remove both
screws from the
Back Box and
pull it from the
Back Plate.
Wall Mount
Install the Back Plate on the wall, 2.7 –
4ft from the ground, using two 4 x 20mm
screws provided.
Pole Mount
Using metal banding 1 inch in width, fasten
the Back Plate to the pole 2.7 – 4ft from the
ground.
Install / Replace Batteries
Observe the proper polarity when installing and replacing the batteries. Insert the negative end of the battery first
to the springs. Ensure positive side of battery is at the top, opposite side from the springs.
IMPORTANT:
Use only Lithium batteries.
Use two (2) Lithium 1.5VDC AA cells. (Energizer L91 or equivalent.)
Change both batteries at the same time. Do not mix weak batteries with new batteries.
Observe polarity.
The coverage area will always be 90° with 13 zones, and can be adjusted to 7
different angles from A to G. It comes defaulted at the D setting. Turn the PyroElectrics firmly until it clicks into the desired angle indicated by the arrows at the
bottom with the respect to the letters.
The sensitivity of the PIR can be adjusted from Low to Medium to
High, represented as L, M, and H. The setting is on the right-hand
side, behind the flange, next to the top pyro-electric.To adjust the
PIR sensitivity, push the sensitivity selector up or down until it
indicates L, M, or H.
The detection range is determined by the bottom PyroElectric. The top Pyro-Electric remains stationary and is
aimed parallel to the ground. To change the detection
range, simply grasp the bottom Pyro-electric and firmly
move it up or down to the desired setting indicated by
the embossed arrow on the bottom-left corner of the
Pyro Electric. These settings are based on a mounting
height of 3.3ft (1 meter). The height of the motion
detector will affect the detection range. Additionally, the
detection range may vary due to environmental
conditions (heavy rain or snow, fog, etc.).
5800™ Series transmitters draw quick bursts of current during transmission, then sit idle with very nominal current draw. Most
batteries are not designed for this type of use, therefore, only batteries listed as compatible should be used if the expected
battery life is to be attained. Each transmitter’s Installation Instructions has listed compatible battery manufacturers and their
part numbers. When other non-approved batteries are used, the quick bursts of current draw kill the battery cells prematurely
causing them to go low in a matter of months and can also cause unpredictable results. Other low quality batteries have not
been UL tested and pose a safety hazard if used.
