Bosch DS915 Installation Manual

DS915 Recess Mount Passive Mount Infrared

Intrusion Detector

General Information:

The DS915 is a semi-flush mount, Passive Infrared Intrusion Detector which is designed to mount in a standard single gang electrical box or directly to a wall using the supplied flush mount ring. It uses alternate polarity pulse count processing, is internally pointable and uses "grooves-in" Fresnel lenses to provide 6 different coverage patterns.

Input Power: 10 TO 15 VDC non polarized; 15 mA.

Standby Power: No internal standby battery. Unit is intended to be connected to DC power sources capable of supplying standby power in the event primary power fails. 15 mA-h required for each hour of standby time needed.

Range: The standard Broad Coverage lens provides a 30 ft. (9 m) long by

38 ft. (12 m) wide pattern. Optional lenses are also available. The Broad Pet avoidance lens provides the same coverage without look down zones.

Coverage Poinability:+2° to -12° Vertical; ±10° Horizontal. Each 2° of movement equals 1 ft. (.3 m) of pattern shift at 30 ft. (9 m).

Sensitivity: Adjustable for standard, intermediate and high sensitivity.

Alarm Relay: Normally Closed operation and protected by a 4.7 ohm resistor in series with the relay contact. The reed relay contact is rated at

28 VDC, 125 mA maximum for DC resistive loads.

•Terminal 1 & 2 power limits are 10 to 15 VDC measured at the terminals, polarity is not important. Use no smaller than #22 AWG ( .8 mm) wire pair, 500 ft. (150 m.) max. between the unit and the power source.

•Connect a Normally Closed burglar alarm loop to terminals 3 and 4. A detector alarm will cause an open circuit.

NOTE: Do not coil excess wiring inside unit.

•Mount the detector into the single gang box (if used) using the supplied screws.

Recess Mounting without an electrical box

The DS915 may be recess mounted without the use of a single gang box by using the supplied recess mount ring.

•Using the recess mount ring as a template, prepare an opening 1-7/8" (48 mm) wide by 2-3/4" (60 mm) wide in the mounting surface.

•Route wiring through opening and ring.

•Place the ring over the opening and bend the support tabs into the opening and around the mounting surface so that the ring fits snug against the wall.

•Connect wiring.

•Mount the detector to the ring using the supplied screws.

Select Sensitivity:

The DS915 permits selection of response sensitivity modes depending on the type of coverage desired, and the installation environment.

Temperature: The storage and operating range is -20°F to +120°F (-29°C to +49°C). For UL Listed Requirements, the temperature range is +32°F to

+120°F (0°C to +49°C).

Options: TC6000 Test Cord, OLC91-3* Dual Corridor lens, OLW91-3* Dense

Wide Angle lens, OLP91-3* Pet Avoidance lens, OLR91-3* Long Range

Barrier lens and OLB91 Barrier lens. *Shipped in packages of three.

•Select a location that is most likely to intercept an intruder moving across the coverage pattern. The DS915 is designed to mount to a standard single gang electrical box (not supplied). Mount the box and pull wiring to the box before installing the detector.

•Review pattern side views to estimate best mounting height. Recommended mounting height is 6.5 ft. (2 m). The mounting range is from 3 ft. to 8 ft. (1 m to 2.5 m).

Standard: Tolerates most environment extremes on this setting, but requires the largest amount of intruder motion to achieve an alarm. Standard Sensitivity is not recommended for use with barrier, long range barrier or dual corridor coverages.

Intermediate: Recommended setting for most installations. Use in locations where an intruder is only expected to cover a small portion of the protected area. Tolerates normal environments on this setting.

High: Fast response to intruder signals. For use only in quiet environments where thermal and illumination transients are not anticipated.

In the event the Sensitivity Jumper is missing, the unit will default to the intermediate setting.

LED Disable: If viewing the operation of the LED is not required after setup and walk testing are completed, remove the lens holder assembly and place the LED Jumper across the center and top pin (marked D). If the Jumper is missing, the LED is disabled.

Set up and walk testing:

•Choose the proper coverage pattern. If it's necessary to replace the lens, perform the following.

-Remove the lens holder assembly by sliding it down to its lowest point and pulling it out from the top.

-While facing the rear of the lens holder, gently push down and inwards on the top ledge of the window frame until the frame pops out of the top track.

Then push up on the bottom ledge until the frame pops out of the bottom track. Pet Lens Considerations: The Pet Lens is intended to provide protection in

installations where pets are allowed to move about freely.

- Rotate the frame left or right until the lens clears the tracks.
