TX-E721 Fresnel Lens Pet Immune PIR

Description

This is the Installation Sheet for the TX-E721 Fresnel Lens Pet Immune PIR
A motion sensor (passive-infrared or PIR) detects movement within a

specific area by sensing the infrared energy emitted from a body as it

moves across the sensor’s field of view. When this motion is detected, the

sensor transmits an alarm signal to the control panel.

Figure 1: Pet Immune SAW PIR Motion Sensors

Use these motion sensors to protect locations where door/window sensors
are impractical or not needed. For example, use a motion sensor to protect
large areas or open floor plans. Motion sensors also provide backup
protection for door/window sensors.

The Pet Immune TX-E721 utilizes advanced signal processing, a new
custom designed lens, and a new custom designed sensing element. The
combination of these improvements provides false alarm immunity for pets
with a combined weight of up to 40 pounds while still providing superior
human catch performance.

These wireless motion sensors include the following features:

• 35 by 40 ft. (10.6 m by 12 m) coverage area.

• Three minute transmitter lockout time after an alarm that helps extend

battery life.

• Cover-activated tamper

• Supervisory signals transmitted every 64 minutes to the control panel.

• Sensor low battery reports (trouble) to the control panel.

• Field-selectable sensitivity options.

Figure 2: Overhead Detection Path

• Mount the motion sensor on a rigid surface which is free from
vibrations.

• Do not mount the sensor near duct work or other large metallic
surfaces which may affect the RF signals (see RF Testing). Actual
acceptable transmitter range should be verified for each installation.

• Mount the sensor permanently on a flat wall or in a corner. Do not set it
on a shelf.

• Windows should be closed in any area which has an armed motion
sensor.

• The sensor must be incline-mounted at a mounting height of 7.5 ft. See
Figure 3.

Installation

Installation Guidelines

• Temporarily place the sensor in its intended mounting location.
Program and final test the sensor before permanently mounting it.

• If possible, locate sensors within 100 ft. (30.5 m) of the panel. While a
transmitter may have a range of 500 ft. (152 m) or more out in the
open, the environment at the installation site can have a significant
effect on transmitter range. Sometimes a change in sensor location
can help overcome adverse wireless conditions.

• The recommended mounting height is 7 1/2 ft.

• Position the sensor to protect an area where an intruder would be most

likely to walk across the detection pattern See Figure 2.

P/N 466-5305 • Rev A • 24JAN17 1 / 4

• Room temperature must be kept between 60° and 120°F (16° and 49°
C).

• Position the sensor so it faces a solid reference point, like a wall.

Programming

Refer to the panel documentation for information on programming the
sensor into the panel.

To Trip the Sensor

1. Set the panel to program mode.

2. Proceed to the Learn Sensors menu.

3. Remove the PIR from its mounting plate (activating the tamper switch).

4. Select the appropriate sensor group and number.

5. Exit the panel’s programming mode.

6. Return the PIR to its mounting plate.

Final Testing

Final testing should be done to verify radio signal integrity and confirm
control panel programming and response. The actual transmitter range can
be determined by performing a sensor test as follows:

1. With the PIR temporarily mounted at its intended location, remove the
PIR from its mounting plate and activate the tamper switch to start the
walk test mode.

2. Replace the sensor in its mounting plate.

3. Place the control panel in Sensor test mode. Move across the
detection pattern until the sensor’s LED turns on. STOP your motion.

4. Listen for the appropriate system response. Refer to the specific panel
installation manual for details on system response. If the system does
not respond as expected, proceed to the “Error! Reference source

not found.” section.

Mounting

The sensors must be incline-mounted on a wall surface or incline-mounted
in a corner at a mounting height of 7.5 ft. (2.5 m).

To Mount the Sensor

1. Remove the mounting plate by depressing the button on the top of the
sensor body. With the opposite hand pull the mounting plate away from
the body of the sensor.

2 Punch out the mounting holes that best fit your application. See Figure

3 for wall mount options.

3. See Figure 4 to determine which knockouts to use when mounting the
motion sensor. Use the outside 4 holes for corner mounting, or the
inside 4 holes for surface mounting.

Note: If the shorting jumper is not used or is placed incorrectly, the sensor
defaults to standard sensitivity.

Figure 5: Sensitivity Pin Locations

CAUTION: High sensitivity should only be used in environments where

the room temperature is very stable.

1. Remove the mounting plate by depressing the button on the top of the
sensor body. With the opposite hand pull the mounting plate away from
the body of the sensor.

2. Locate the sensitivity pins directly above the battery when looking at
the back of the PIR

3. To change to high sensitivity, move the shorting jumper to the pair of
pins that are closer to the left side of the PIR

4. Walk test the PIR to verify the sensitivity.

The difference between the two settings are indicated in Figures 6 and

7.below.

Figure 6: Standard Sensitivity Setting

Figure 4: PIR Mounting Plate Knockouts

4. Mark the location of the required holes on the mounting surface.

5. Use wall anchors and screws to secure into place. Attach the sensor to
the mounting plate.

6. When testing is completed the PIR can be securely attached to its
mounting plate by screwing the smallest enclosed screw into the hole
at the top of the mounting plate.

Figure 7: High Sensitivity Setting

Setting the Sensitivity

The PIR has two sensitivity settings (standard and high sensitivity). The
sensor is set to standard sensitivity at the factory. This sensitivity is
preferred for most applications and provides the best immunity to false
alarms.
