Grouping Sensors

Each Sensor can be set to a different mode. Four different modes can be selected;

Home Mode. Normal Mode, Single Delay Mode or 24-hour Mode.

Important:

(1) Determine which Mode each Sensor should be set to prior to commencing

installation.

(2) If you change the Mode a Sensor is set to, re-register the Sensor to the Control

Unit.

The diagrams below show the four different Mode Settings that can be set up to

each Sensor.

Inside the Sensor are 3 ‘bridges’. The configuration of the bridges will dictate the

Mode that the Sensor is set to. To change the Mode, simply re-position the ‘bridges’

by lifting them up and away from the pins and then push them down onto the pins

in the relevant position required.

Home Mode Normal Mode Single Delay Mode

(delay time)

24-hour Mode

Normal Mode: The supplied Door/Window Sensor is by default set to Normal Mode

bridges

with bridges set on D0, D1 and D2. When triggered, a Sensor set to Normal Mode will

always activate the alarm if armed.

Home Mode: The supplied PIR Motion Sensor is (by default) set to Home Mode (D1

and D2). Sensors set to Home Mode will not be active when the alarm system is

part-armed. Part-Arm allows you to arm certain areas but not others. For example,

by setting sensors upstairs to Home Mode, when you part-arm the system at night

time you and your family can move around upstairs, whilst all other areas are protected.

10

Sensor Placement

When planning your Alarm System installation consider the most vulnerable areas
of your home such as exit/entry routes - well placed Sensors will ensure optimum
security coverage.

The diagram below shows the areas within your home that you would typically
want to protect. Additional miGuard Accessories can be added at any time for
maximum coverage of your home and outbuildings.

Power Saving Mode

If the Sensor detects human body movement twice within 3 minutes, it will switch
to sleeping state to save power. During that time, the LED will not blink and the
Sensor will not trigger an alarm. When no movement is detected in the next 3
minutes, the Sensor switches itself back to working status automatically.

Note:

When the Sensor is in Sleep Mode make sure there is no human body movement
within 3 minutes in order to prevent the Sensor remaining in Sleep Mode.

In Sleep Mode, it is recommended that you leave the room for 3 minutes after
arming the system, then return to the room when you will hear the Siren sound
immediately.

Side view Top view

Note:

If protecting an area with pet access, do not adjust the angle up or down, keep
the PIR parallel to the wall.

25

Installation Tips

Sensor location:

Position Sensors to cover exit/entry points and at the recommended height of 2

metres above ground level.

Mounting the Sensor - Angle

The installation angle directly affects sensitivity. Sensitivity is optimal when the

walk direction is vertical to the infrared direction - example detection scope diagram

below:

26

Avoid facing glass doors or windows:

Strong light interferes with detection

sensitivity. In some situations movement

directly outside the window (a stream of

traffic or people) may affect the system.

Avoid facing or positioning close to

heat/cold sources:

Heat/cold sources such as heat extraction

units, air conditioning units, heaters,

microwave ovens or refrigerators may

cause false alarms.

Avoid facing opposite/near to moving

objects:

Movement from nearby items, such as

curtains may trigger false alarms.

If it is necessary to fit two Sensors within

the same range of detection, ensure they

are positioned so that there is no cross-

interference.
