Installation Guide for DS937
Ceiling Mounted, Passive Infrared (PIR)
Intrusion Detectors
1.0 Description
The DS937 is a low-profile, ceiling-mount Passive Infrared Intrusion detector that provides a 360° coverage pattern. The low profile
design provides a recessed-mount look, even when surface mounted. It is easy to install with access to wiring and programming options
available without removing the detector from the ceiling. With a 50 ft. (14 m) diameter coverage pattern, it is an ideal choice for applications
that require ceiling mounting and spot or 360° detection.
2.0 Specifications
• Input Power: 9 to 30 VDC; 7.5 to 24 VAC.
• Current Draw: 17 mA maximum at 12 VDC.

Notes:
1. If there is no alarm history, the DS937
operates the same as normal when
switch A is opened.
2. If switch A is closed after being opened,
the alarm memory will be cleared after
one second.

period, the LED

alarm condition.
If you don’t want the alarm LED to light, it can
be turned off with this switch.
Alarm Memory only:
• Wiring of First To Latch is not needed.
• Run a single wire from the AM terminal
to switch A and then to +12 VDC.
• Switch A should stay in the closed
position for normal operation.
• When alarm history is needed, open
switch A. The LED of the DS937 with
alarm history will flash.
Alarm Memory in Conjunction with First
To Latch:
• First To Latch identifies the first DS937
to alarm.
• Procedure is the same as Alarm Memory
function.
• When alarm history is checked, the
DS937 that alarmed first will have a
flashing LED.
If the LED On/Off Select Switch is in Off mode,
the LED will indicate an alarm history when
using Alarm Memory only or when using Alarm
Memory in conjunction with First To Latch.
If the LED On/Off Select Switch is in On mode,
the LED will not operate in normal conditions
when using the Alarm Memory and First To
Latch functions.
4.7 Set the Sensitivity Switch.
Pulse Count:
4 pulse counts is the recommended setting for
locations where an intruder is expected to cover a
sizable portion of the protection area. The detector
tolerates harsh environments at this setting.
3 pulse counts is for locations where normal
environmental transients are expected.
2 pulse counts is the normal setting for areas where
thermal and illumination transients are minimal.
Detection Range
Adjustment:
The Detection Range
Adjustment may also be
used to fine tune the
sensitivity of the detector.
Adjust the control for the
lowest setting that provides
good catch performance.
1 pulse count is for fast response to intruder signals. It is for use in quiet environments
where thermal and illumination transients are not anticipated.
4.8 Mask unwanted detection zones (see
Patterns
) by lifting the Lens Lock, rotating and removing the
6.0 Coverage
Fresnel Lens, and covering the
unwanted lens areas with the
masking sticker.
