PRODUCT FEATURES

The FW-SW AN-P8F is an advanced, fully supervised
low-current wireless PIR that includes a FreeWave
transmitter. Both transmitter and detector circuits are
powered by long life Lithium battery.
Each FW-SW AN-P8F has a unique ID code (This code
is impossible to reproduce). Compatible FreeW ave
receivers are designed to “learn” specific IDs and
respond only to them.
Following detection, FW-SW AN-P8F triggers the on­board transmitter that transmits its specific FreeW ave ID
followed by an alarm signal and status designators for
battery condition. If detector cover is removed Tamper
Event triggers the on-board transmitter.
Alarm and other data are forwarded to the alarm control
panel. A periodic test transmission for supervision
purpose takes place automatically once in 7 min. The
receiver is informed that the particular detector is taking
an active part in the wireless security system.
The FW-SW AN-P8F has unique Alarm Power Saver
(APS) mechanism that enables transmitter activation
only 2 min after the last movement has been detected.

• State-of-the-art wireless security system

• Low current ASIC PIR Technology

• Powered by a 3Volt Lithium battery

• Battery life : up to 4 years

• Built in Automatic Power Saver (APS)

• Frequency Band: 868MHz / 916MHz

• Low Battery condition signal transmission

• Test mode for PIR coverage and RF signal.

• Range up to 300 m at free space.

• Height installation calibration free (1.5m - 3.6m).

• Unique ID number

The FW-SW AN-P8F provides pet immunity up to 20Kg
(45lbs). Pet active bellow 1m (3 ft).

The Wireless PIR transmits the following events data:
SUPERVISION - a periodical transmission.
Every 7 min indicates detector’s presence.
ALARM – alarm transmission triggered by PIR intrusion
detection.
LOW BAT – Whenever the battery reaches a pre-set
low level (2.4V) Battery Low signal will be sent with the
next message (Supervision, Alarm, etc.
TAMPER – Whenever the FW-SWAN-P8F cover is
removed or the unit teals from the wall, a message
"Tamper" will be transmitted.

APS

The unique APS (Automatic Power Saver) function built
in the detector enables a battery life span up to four
years. The detector will transmit only when the last event
has occurred more than 2 minutes prior to the current
one.

SELECT MOUNTING LOCATION

SELECT MOUNTING LOCATIONSELECT MOUNTING LOCATION

SELECT MOUNTING LOCATION

Choose a location most likely to intercept an intruder.
(Our recommendation is a corner installation). See
detection pattern – fig.2. The quad-element high quality
sensor detects motion crossing the beam; it is slightly
less sensitive detecting motion toward the detector.
Recommended mounting height – 1.8m-2.4m.
AVOID THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS

• Facing direct sunlight.

• Facing areas that may change temperature

rapidly.

• Areas where there are air ducts or
substantial airflows.

The FW-SW AN-P8F performs better when provided
with a constant and stable environment.

DETECTOR INSTALLATIO

DETECTOR INSTALLATIODETECTOR INSTALLATIO

DETECTOR INSTALLATIONNNN

The detector can either be wall or corner mounted.
If ceiling or special wall mounting is required, use the
optional bracket base. Refer to bracket description.
(See fig. 4).

1. To remove the front cover, unscrew the holding screw
and gently raise the front cover.

2. To remove the PC board, carefully unscrew the
holding screw located on the PC board.

3. Break out the desired holes for proper installation.

Fig. 1

4. Mount the detector base to the wall, corner or ceiling.
(For option with bracket see fig.4).

5. Reinstall the PC board by fully tightening the holding
screw.

6. Install battery in the battery holder according polarity.

7. Replace the cover by inserting it back in the
appropriate closing pins and screw in the holding
screw.

RSSI----RF SIGNAL INDICATION

RF SIGNAL INDICATIONRF SIGNAL INDICATION

RF SIGNAL INDICATION

The FREEWAVE control panel has “RF Signal
quality Indication” for each transmitter in order to
help the installer to define best location for the
detector from RF point of view.

The indication value is between 1 and 100, where
100 is the best RF received signal. If the RSSI
indication is less then 30, it is a sign for weak RF
link, try to find a better installation for the PIR.
NOTE: See FREEWAVE control panel installation
instruction.

ID REGISTRATION

Refer to the system receiver’s installation instructions
and follow the procedure given there for “learning”
detector IDs.
Perform transmission by pressing and releasing
tamper switch for learning it by FREEWAVE control
panel receiver.
Make sure that the receiver is at learning mode ­according to control panel installation instruction.
NOTE: It is recommended to power up the detector and
let the system receiver “learn” the detector’s ID before
actual installation.

TESTING THE DETECTOR

TEST PUSH BUTTON

Push Button is located at the lower left side of the
detector. This button (switch) is used to activate the
walk and RF transmission test of the FW-SWAN-P8F
detector.

WALK TEST

Push the Test button for 1 sec and release, the LED will
blink 3 times, the LED and a Transmission will activate
on the every detection.
The test mode period is 2 min; at the end of the test
mode the LED will blink fast 4 times to indicate the end
of the Test.

ALARM TRANSMISSION TEST

Pressing Push Button for at least 3.0 sec enables the
alarm transmission test feature, which activates 11
transmission signals at 6 sec intervals (total test time
about 1 min).
Please check, that the receiver unit indicates 11
events.
This test enables to activate the alarm transmission
immediately, and bypass the APS 2 minutes limitation.
To check this function it is necessary to verify that the
FREEWAVE control panel display shows

X- zone number from which the massage received.

Tamper transmission test.

Change of the tamper switch state will cause tamper
transmissions. Verify on the FREEWAVE control panel
that display shows

Transmission range test.

By Alarm transmission test (Pressing Push Button for
more then 3.0 sec) it’s enable to check the RF
transmission quality (RSSI). Special indication at the
control panel displays continuously the received RF
signal quality.

PIR SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

Jumper “Sensitivity Adjustment” use for setting the
PULSE count function in order to provide PIR

sensitivity control according to the environment.
Position Right– “1”-High sensitivity
For stable environments.
Position Left – “2” – Low sensitivity
For harsh environments.

PET IMMUNITY SETTING

Jumper “Pet Immunity Adjustment” use for setting
the PET Immune function - to 15Kg or 25Kg.
(Depending on the pet weight).

Position Right

Immunity to an animal up to 25 kg

Position Left

Immunity to an animal up to 15 kg

YOU MUST RESET THE DETECT OR BY DISCONNECT
POWER SUPPLY AND RECONNECT IT AFTER FEW
SECONDS.

BATTERY

A 3 V lithium battery powers the unit. Thanks to the
exclusive APS (Automatic Power Saver)
characteristics, the battery provides up to 4 years of
continuous operation (depending on the amount of
alarms).
If the battery reaches a factory preset low level, the
LOW BATTERY signal will be sent and from this
moment the detector remains operational for another
30 days giving enough time to replace the 3V lithium
battery.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

• Remove the front cover.

• Take out the old battery.

• Install a new battery according polarity.

• After assembling the battery the LED will

flash twice in sec for a period of 1 min,
during this time the PIR isn't functioning,
wait until the LED stop flashing.

CAUTION !!!
