Product Description
The Elpas Curtain PIR Detector is a battery operated; wireless curtain type PIR for protecting interior doors, walls, ceilings, windows
and skylights as well as glass displays in residential,commercial and light industrial environments designed for use in Elpas Safety,
Security and Visibility systems
The detector provides horizontal or vertical curtain-shape, passive–infrared perimeter coverage up to 6m x 1m (20ft x 3.5ft) and
additionally can also be used as an internal invisible barrier to detect movement between two adjoining areas.
The Curtain PIR Detector is engineered to continuously measure the ambient temperature of all objects within its field of view. Any
rapid or differential change in temperature triggers the detector to transmit identifiable coded alarm RF messages which can be used
to alert security personal of a possible intruder in the protected area.
To ensure maximum security reliability, the detector supports remote supervision to protect against unauthorized tampering,
unapproved removal or of a dead battery condition. Small in size and weight, Curtain PIR Detector is easily fastened to walls or
ceilings and delivers three years of dependable service between battery changes.

Tamper Switch
The PIR Detector contains two spring loaded tamper switch that when
pressed, generates a ‘State’ message that is useful for registering the
detector in the host Elpas RTLS application.
(Refer to the Eiris Configuration Guide for enrolling transmitter IDs.)
Once registered, the tamper switch can also be used as an input trigger for
a device supervision tamper alert indicating non-authorized attempts to
remove the device’s cover.
Power
The PIR Detector derives its power from one CR2430 type lithium battery
(factory supplied).
IMPORTANT: The Wireless Input Module as well as all the input devices to be
monitored should be powered down when wiring in order to prevent accidental
shorts/spikes to cause damage to any of the devices.
Supported Event Transmissions
The Magnetic Contact Transmitter can transmit state changes from up to
two dry contact inputs (as a button press event message) to the host RTLS
server.
Input 1 – Button 1 Event
Input 2 – Button 2 Event
The input module can also transmit a state change from the tamper
switch (as a motion event message) indicating a non-authorized
attempt to remove the module’s cover.
Tamper Switch – Motion Event
Note: Whenever a state change is detected the input module automatically
transmits 4 RF event messages 400ms apart with each transmission about 2ms
in duration).

Status Indicator
The Magnetic Contact Transmitter has a Red Status LED that

Lithium Battery Installation (supplied with device)
Before inserting the CR2430 type lithium battery into the module’s
battery holder, confirm that the holes of the battery Isolator are
aligned with the contact pins. Then ensure that the positive (+) side
of the battery faces the PCB.
IMPORTANT: Inserting the 1/2AA battery improperly into the
battery clip may cause damage to the Wireless Input Module.
