COVERAGE & LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS

Combined protective patterns are shown in Figure 1 for a nominal
mounting height of 7.5 ft (2.3m). The microwave detection pattern
shown in Figure 1 represents coverage in open space. In practical
application, when the detector is bounded by ceiling, floor, and
walls, reflections can occur.

SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION

The detector responds to changes in energy that occur when an
intruder moves into the combined protection pattern. Best coverage
will be obtained if the mounting site is selected so that the likely
direction of intruder motion is generally across the pattern and
angle s slight ly towar d the detector.

INSTALLATION HINTS

The detector is remarkably resistant to false alarm hazards, but the
following recommendations should be observed.

Never install the detector in an environment that causes a

•

disturbance in one technology. Good installations start with both
LEDs OFF when in the Accu-Trak environmental test mode and there
is no target motion.
Do not mount on an unstable surface. Locate the unit on a sturdy

•

inside wall whenever possible. Avoid sources of vibration such as loose
fitting doors and walls that shake when heavy traffic exists.
Do not install on or close to metal structures such as metal door

•

frames, shelves, etc.
Do not include space heaters in the protective pattern whenever

•

possible, to avoid rapid temperature changes and vibrations from
fans.
ALL microwave transmission penetrates most building materials

•

(except metal, which reflects transmission). Moving objects outside of
the protected area may be detected unless the microwave sensitivity
control is kept at as low a setting as possible, to minimize penetration.
Make sure the detection area does not have obstructions (curtains,

•

screens, large pieces of furniture, plants, etc.) that may block the PIR
portion of the coverage pattern.

SERIAL No. ID

This unit does not utilize DIP switches to set its zone number (ID).
Each unit has a unique factory-assigned serial number which must
be entered into the control panel during the zone programming
procedure. Therefore, this motion sensor can be used only with a
control that supports serial number devices.

Note that this motion sensor’s unique factory-assigned serial
number can be found on the bar code label on its PC board.

The motion sensor’s serial number can be entered by one of the
following methods:

A. Downloading (Zone Definition screen of Compass software).

Recommended for large installations and installations where
foot traffic cannot be controlled.

B. Entering through the keypad at the “INPUT S/N” prompt

during manual zone programmin g (see Impor t ant note below).

C. Activating the detector twice while at the “INPUT S/N” prompt

during manual zone programming.

If entering manually, be sure that other polling loop sensors are not
activated so that they cannot send a signal to the control while this
motion sensor is being programmed (mask motion sensors, don't
open/close doors, etc.).

To be sure that other polling loop devices are not activated when
entering serial numbers manually, power the system down,
disconnect the polling loop at the control, power back up again, and
immediately enter the program mode. Then proceed to Step 1 in the
following section. Remember to reconnect the polling loop when
programming is complete, powering the system down first.

IMPORTANT

To enter the unit's serial number

1. Using the control panel’s keypad, enter Zone Programming mode.

2. Enter t he Zone number, Zone Ty pe, and other zo ne information for
the motion sensor, pressing [∗] to advance from prompt to prompt.

3. At the "Input Type" prompt, enter "6" for SL (Serial Polling Device)
and press [∗].

4. At the “INPUT S/N” prompt, either enter the serial number manually
(and a "1" for the loop number), or fault the motion sensor (the keypad
will "beep" to confirm signal), then wait 3-6 seconds and fault the
motion sensor again (the keypad should beep again to confirm). The
motion sensor should now be enrolled. A "1" should appear under the
"L" on the zone summary screen. If it does not, press [∗] and enter the
loop number manually at the next screen.

5. Press [∗] to continue programming other devices, or enter “00” to quit.

For detailed information, refer to the Zone Programming section in the
control panel’s Installation Instructions.

TAMPER

Removal of the cover causes a front cover tamper switch to open.
Removal of the detector from the wall caus es the back tamper s witch to
open (if back case is tampered using a screw through the tamper hole;
see Figure 2). The control panel is automatically notified via the polling
loop when either of these events occur.

TEST PROCEDURES

On power-up, testing must not begin until the LED extinguishes after
first applying power to signify warm-up is complete, about 30 seconds. If
the LED begins to flash at a constant rate, refer to the section on
SUPERVISION.

Accu-Trak Environmental Test Mode

ADEMCO’s unique Accu-Trak environmental test feature easily provides
an environmental check for potential false alarm sources on both the
PIR and microwave channels. Simply set DIP Switch #6 to ON.

Both microwave and PIR information are viewable simultaneously on
the two LEDs, providing crisp, immediate feedback (see below).

NOTE: When Accu-T rak environmental test mode is selected, an
alarm signal is reported to the control panel to prevent leaving
the detector in the test mode.

TEST L ED ACCU-TRAK LED INDICATIONS

PIR RED LED flashes when potential false alarm source is

detected, such as fans or heating duct.

Microwave GREEN LED is ON when potential false alarm source is

detected, such as a fan or mylar balloon.

IMPORTANT:

Detection coverage can only be verified by walk-testing in the normal
operating mode (DIP Switch #6 set to OFF).

Testing in Normal Operating Mode

After testing with the unique Walk-Test mode, the detector should be
tested in the Normal Operating Mode with the following steps:

1. Remove the front cover and ensure that DIP Switch #6 is set to OFF
for Normal Operating Mode.

2. Set DIP Switch #5 to the Pulse Processing Option that will be used for
this installation.

3. Enable the LED by setting DIP Switch #3 ON.

4. Replace the front cover and walk through the protective zones,
observing that the detector’s red LED lights whenever motion is
detected. If necessary, re-adjust the microwave sensitivity to the
minimum level required for satisfactory detection and repeat the
Walk Test.

5. After Walk-Testing is complete, the LED may be disabled, if desired
(DIP Switch #3 OFF).

SUPERVISION

This motion sensor is equipped with advanced supervision of both
the PIR and microwave channels. If a microwave channel failure
occurs, the sensor will continue to operate as a dual-element PIR
sensor (when DIP switch #1 is set to ON) in Standard Signal
Processing mode regardless of the processing option chosen. Even
though some operation is maintained, the unit should be replaced
as soon as possible. If a PIR failure occurs, the unit becomes non­operational.

Supervision Failure Indications

If a supervision failure occurs, it will be indicated by the
appropriate LED flashing once every 3 seconds, provided the LED
enable option was chosen by DIP switch #3. If a PIR failure occurs,
the RED LED will flash; if a microwave failure occurs, the GREEN
LED will flash. If the unit has defaulted to PIR-only operation as a
result of a microwave failure (DIP switch #1 is set to ON), the RED
LED will light when an alarm occurs while the GREEN LED
continues to flash.
All troubles above will be reported to the control panel.

MAINTAINING PROPER OPERATION

In order to maintain the detector in proper working condition, it is
important that the user observe the following:

1. Power should be provided at all times. Loss of power to the unit
will result in the alarm contacts reverting to an alarm state.
The units DC source should have standby power available for at
least 4 hours of operation during emergencies.

2. Units should never be re-aimed or relocated without the advice
or assistance of the alarm service company.

3. The physical surroundings of the protected area should not be
changed. If furniture or stock is moved, or air conditioning or
additional heating is installed, the system may have to be
readjusted by the alarm service company.

4. Walk tests should be conducted frequently (at least weekly) to
confirm proper coverage by each detector.

TO THE INSTALLER

Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the
installer and frequent testing by the user are vital to continuous
satisfactory operation of any alarm system.
The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and
offering a regular maintenance program to the user, as well as
acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of
the alarm system and its component parts.
Recommendations must be included for a specific program of
freque nt testing (at least we ekly) to ens ure the sys tem’s ope ration
at all times.

MICROWAVE/PASSlVE INFRARED MOTION DETECTOR

WARNING! THE LIMITATIONS OF YOUR

While the Intrusion Detector is a highly reliable intrusion detection device, it does not
offer guaranteed protection against burglary. Any Intrusion Detection device is
subject to compromise or failure to warn for a variety of reasons:

•

These Motion Detectors can only detect intr usion within the designed ra nges as
diagrammed in this install ation manual.

•

The passive infrared motion sensor in this Motion Detector does not provide
volumetric area protection. It does create multiple beams of protection, and
intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams.

•

Passive Infrared Detectors cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place
behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or
windows.

•

Metal objects (or other reflectors, such as foil faced insulation or water in bottles)
can alter the microwave sensors protection pattern.

•

Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the
mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce the detection ability
of the Passive Infrared Motion Detector.

•

Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperat ure; however, as the am bie nt
temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to
105°F (32° to 40°C), the detection performance can decrease.

•

This Passive Infrared Detector will not operate without appropriate DC power
connected to it or if the DC power is improperly connected (i.e. reversed polarity
connections).

•

Passive Infrared Detectors, like other elect rical devices, are subject to component
failure. Even though they are designed to last as long as 10 years, t he electronic

components could fail at any time.
We have cited some of the most common reasons that a Passive Infrared Motion
Detector can fail to catch intrusion. However, this does not im ply that these are the
only reasons and therefore, it is recom me nded that wee kly test ing of this type of unit,
in conjunction with weekly testing of the entire alarm system, be performed to ensure
that the detectors are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make the ow ner eligible for a lower insuran ce rate,
but an alarm system is not a substitut e for insurance. Hom eowners, pro perty owners
and renters should continue to act prudently i n pr ot ecting themsel ves an d co ntin ue to
insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of al arm systems
owe it to themselves and their loved ones to learn about these developments.
