• Compliance: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules
and with RSS-210 of Industry and Science Canada. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesirable operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Bosch
Security Systems can void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
2.0 Installation Considerations
NOTE: The DS970 is not recommended for installations containing
pets or small animals. Use the DS820 or DS835 for such
installations.
• Never install the detector in an environment that causes an alarm
condition in one technology. Good installations start with the LED
OFF when there is no target motion. It should never be left to
operate with the tri-color LED in a constant or intermittent green,
yellow, or red condition.
• Point the unit away from outside traffic (roads/alleys).
NOTE: Microwave energy will pass through glass and most
common non-metallic construction walls.
• Avoid installations where rotating machines (e.g. ceiling fans)
are normally in operation within the coverage pattern. Point the
unit away from glass exposed to the outdoors and objects that
may change temperature rapidly.
NOTE: The PIR detector will react to objects rapidly changing
temperature within its field-of-view.
• Eliminate interference from nearby outside sources.
3.0 Mounting
• Select a location likely to intercept an intruder moving across the
coverage pattern. The surface should be solid and vibrationfree. Mounting height range is 6 to 8 ft. (1.8 to 2.4 m).
Recommended mounting height is 7.5 ft. (2.3 m).
• Remove the cover. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the locking
tab hole at the bottom front of the detector. Pull the cover up and
forward.

• Remove the circuit board from the base. Loosen the Vertical
Adjust Screw and slide the circuit board down, then out.
• Break away the appropriate thin-wall wire entrance and mounting
hole coverings in the base.
• Using the base as a template and aligning it so that the detector
will be mounted with the terminal block at the top and the PIR
lens at the bottom, mark the location of the mounting holes on
the mounting surface. Pre-start the mounting screws.
• Route wiring as necessary. Route to the rear of the base and
through the wire entrance. Make sure all wiring is unpowered
before routing.
• Securely attach the base to the mounting surface.
• Return the circuit board to the base and tighten the Vertical Adjust
Screw.
4.0 Wiring
Only apply power after all connections have been
made and inspected. Do not coil excess wiring inside

Input
• Terminals 1 (–) & 2 (+): Voltage limits are 9 to 15 VDC. Use no
smaller than #22 AWG (0.8 mm) wire pair between the detector
and the power source.
• Terminals 3, 4, & 5: Alarm relay (reed) contacts rated 3 watts,
125 mA, 28 VDC maximum for DC resistive loads and protected
by a 4.7 ohm, ½ watt resistor in the common "C" leg of the relay.
Use Terminals 4 & 5 for Normally Closed circuits.
NOTE: Do not use with capacitive or inductive loads.
• Terminals 6 & 7: Tamper contacts rated at 28 VDC, 125 mA.
• Terminal 8: Memory. Refer to Section 6.0 Feature Selection.
• Terminal 9: Trouble. Solid State output.
NOTE: Plug the wire entrance hole with the foam plug provided
after all wiring connections have been made.
5.0 LED Operation
The detector uses a tri-color LED to indicate the various alarm and
supervision trouble conditions that may exist. See chart below.
LED CAUSE
Steady red Unit alarm
Steady yellow Microwave activation (walk test)
Steady green PIR activation (walk test)
Flashing red Warm-up period after power-up
Flashing red (2 pulse sequence) Motion monitor time-out
Flashing red (3 pulse sequence) Anti-mask detection
Flashing red (4 pulse sequence) MW or PIR self-test failure
NOTE: During walk testing, the LED will light for the first technology
(microwave or PIR) and then light red to indicate a detector
alarm. The LED will not indicate activation of the second
technology by lighting its color.
6.0 Feature Selection
On
6.1 LED On/Off Pins
The ON position allows operation of the tri-color LED. If
LED indication is not desired after setup and walk tests
are completed, place in the OFF position. The OFF position does not
prevent the LED from indicating supervision trouble conditions.
Off
6.2 Memory Operation and Microwave Inhibit
To use the alarm memory function, cut the Memory Jumper (after
walk testing). When this jumper is cut, the Microwave Inhibit function
is also activated. This eliminates microwave transmissions during
disarmed periods.
To supply voltage, connect a switch between Terminals 2 and 8 on
the detector’s T-strip as shown here:
1234
567
8 9
Note: If switched voltage (between 9 and 15 V) is supplied from
another source, such as an alarm panel, then wiring must
also be provided from Terminal 1 of the detector to the
negative (-) side of the alternate source.
When voltage is applied to Terminal 8, any stored alarm is cleared
from memory and it is ready to store the next alarm.
When voltage is removed from Terminal 8 (disarmed condition), the
tri-color LED is enabled, and a stored alarm will cause the tri-color
LED to turn ON red continuously. If there is no stored alarm, the tricolor LED and relay will respond to PIR only; they will activate only
during a present alarm.
NOTE: The Motion Monitor and Anti-Mask pins must be in the OFF
position in order for the Microwave Inhibit
feature to work.
INT
6.3 PIR Sensitivity Selection Pins
For selection, place the plug across the pins marked
STD for Standard or INT for Intermediate mode.
• Standard Sensitivity: The recommended setting for maximum
false alarm immunity. Tolerates environmental extremes on this
setting.
• Intermediate Sensitivity: The recommended setting for any
location where an intruder is expected to cover only a small portion
of the protected area. Tolerates normal environments on this
setting. This setting will improve your intruder catch performance.
STD
6.4 Motion Monitor/Anti-Mask Pins
By enabling Motion Monitor and the Anti-Mask feature with the selection
pins, a choice of Off or 1 day or 30 days
may be chosen for Motion Monitor.
If 1-day Motion Monitor is
selected, the memory feature must be enabled by
cutting the memory jumper. The Motion monitor timer
IMPORTANT
will be suspended when the detector is in night (armed)
mode.
