SENTROL
AP633/AP643
Passive Infrared Detectors
Installation Instructions
INTRODUCTION FEATURES
The AP633 and AP643 offer the detection of motion for
infrared targets in selectable ranges extending 40 ft., 80 ft.
and 200 ft.(12 m, 24 m, and 60 m). The detector’s sensitivity
may be programmed to suit most environmental applications. Aritech’s traditional viewing angle selection (mirror
blocking) allows the installer to select and delete any portion
of the coverage pattern to customize the optical performance
of the unit. In addition, the mounting plate of the sensor is
equipped with precise adjusting screws to allow the installer
to alter the horizontal viewing point as much as 2 degrees to
the left or right, above or below the unit. These features
combine to make this passive infrared sensor the most stable
detector available for commercial and industrial installation
needs in the security industry today. The more sophisticated
model AP643 enhances standard operation with options
such as alarm memory, unit to unit double check, eye to eye
check, and first in alarm indication as well as remote control
of the walk test mode.

DETECTION HAZARDS
Planning Installation of the Unit:
Avoid these sources of disturbance:
• Sunlight or vehicle headlights shining directly onto the
detector.
• Heat sources or mobiles in the field of view.
• Strong air drafts blowing onto the detector.
• Animals in the field of view.
• Insects in the housing or on the face of the unit.
• Objects or circumstances which may cause rapid
temperature changes in the field of view.
• Very strong sources of RF energy and induction of
electrical noise.

MOUNTING TIPS
SENSOR HOOKUP
• This sensor is for interior applications only.
Do not mount outside.
• Do not block the viewing angle of the sensor.
• Mount this and all passive infrared sensors so that would
be intruders will cross the pattern of detection at 90°
(or as close to 90° as possible).
• Seal all openings and cable entries.
• When mounting sensor on masonry surfaces use appropriate moisture barrier.
• Use of the vertical adjustment screw may result in a
reduction of range.
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
The ideal mounting height for this sensor is 6 ft. to 10 ft.(1.8
m to 3.0 m). Loosen the retaining screw and lift the front
cover off of the unit. Using an awl or similar punch type
device, remove the necessary knockouts and create a path for
the cables to enter the backplate. Remove only those
knockouts which you plan to use. Pull cable through the
entries and level the backplate on the wall. Mark the screw
holes and insert 8-32 x 2 inch screws and tighten until
secure. Be careful not to over-tighten the backplate as you
may wish to adjust the viewing angle after walk testing. It is
important to leave a 1/2 inch clearance space between the top
of the sensor and any surfaces above it (i.e. ceiling, shelves
or cabinets, etc.). This will allow the cover to be replaced
with ease.

USAGE TIPS
Both units are equipped with a Form C alarm initiation
circuit (Terminals 3,4, and 5) and a closed loop tamper
circuit (Terminals 6 and 7). The installer may wire these
circuits in series if desired. If the control panel requires class
B supervision, the spare terminal (# 8) may be used to
anchor the EOL device. This allows the installer to place the
EOL device in the sensor without the use of splice connectors. Some of the advanced detection features of the AP643
(discussed later) require an additional switched voltage from
the control. If the protective loop and the control panel
power supply share a common negative, both may use the
same conductor. This will free up a single conductor for use
in one of the advanced features.
Detectors must be connected to a UL listed control or
power supply which will provide a minimum of four
hours standby power.

requires a +12 V DC input while the walk test LED response
is desired. The unit has a factory installed jumper at Terminals 2 and 10. This jumper must be removed if any of the
advanced detection (Alarm Memory, First to Alarm, etc.)
features are to be used.

Notes:
1. The AP633 uses pin jumper D to enable/disable the walk
test LED. The pin cover connects to both pins to enable
this feature.
2. This unit uses a 33Ω (ohm) current limiting resistor for
transient protection on the protective loop. It is important
to consider this value when calculating loop resistance.
