PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A new generation of professional
movement spread spectrum analyzing PIR
& MW detectors.
The Activ8 DT is a combination of PIR & MW
detectors, providing protection from intruders by
PYRO sensor element and MW (based on Doppler
concept).
Using micro controller for PIR & MW signal
analyzing, with special ASIC technology for PIR
pulse processing, assures “false alarm free”
operation.
The Activ8 DT provides immunity up to
25Kg. For better immunity avoid
installation in areas where pets can reach
upwards.
Activ8 DT FEATURE S DETECTION PATTE R N
FEATURES
• Quad (Four element) PYRO sensor and
hard lens for outstanding detection
performance and elimination of false
alarms.

with microstrip patch antenna.
• VLSI based electronics with movement
speed spectrum analysis.
• Height installation calibrations free.
• User-friendly installation with or w/o swivel
bracket.
• 2-way Microwave sensitivity adjustment.
• 2-way PIR sensitivity adjustment.
• BI directional temperature compensation.
• Environmental immunity.
• The Activ8 DT provides pet immunity up to
25Kg. Pet active bellow 1m.
REMOVAL OF FRONT COVER MOUNTING DETECTOR BASE
Unscrew the holding
screw and open base
15m
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 installing.
4. The circular and rectangular indentations at the
bottom base are the knockout holes for wire
entry. You may also use mounting holes that are
not in use for running the wiring into the
detector.(For option with bracket - lead wire
through the bracket)
5. Mount the detector base to the wall, corner or
ceiling. (For option with bracket install bracket).
6. Reinstall the PC board by fully tightening the
holding screw. Connect wire to terminal block.
7. Replace the cover by inserting it back in the
appropriate closing pins and screw in the holding
screw.

TERMINAL BLOCK CONNECTIONS
Terminals 1 & 4 - Marked “ EOL ” – End of line
option.
Terminals 2 & 3 - Marked “ TAMPER ”
If a Tamper function is required connect these
terminals to a 24-hour normally closed protective
zone in the control unit. If the front cover of the
detector is opened, an immediate alarm signal will
be sent to the control unit.
Terminals 5 & 6 - Marked “ RELAY ”
These are the output relay contacts of the
detector. Connect to a normally closed zone in the
control panel.
Terminal 7 - Marked “ + ” (+12V)
Connect to a positive Voltage output of 8.2 -16Vdc
source (usually from the alarm control unit)
Terminal 8 - Marked “ - ” (gnd)
Connect to the negative Voltage output or ground
of the control panel.
TYPICAL INSTALLATIO N
Choose a location most likely to intercept an
intruder. (Our recommendation is a corner
installation). See detection pattern. The quadelement high quality sensor detects motion
crossing the beam; it is slightly less sensitive
detecting motion toward the detector.
The Activ8 DT performs best when provided with
a constant and stable environment.
AVOID THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONs
• Facing direct sunlight.
• Facing areas that may change temperature
rapidly.
• Areas where there are air ducts or
substantial airflows.
The Activ8 DT performs better when provided
with a constant and stable environment.

Position Down – “OFF” – High sensitivity
For normal operation – immediate detection.
Position Up – “ON” – Low sensitivity
For harsh environments.

POTENTIOMETER “RV2” – adjustment
according to protected area range.
The potentiometer at mid-scale is equivalent to a
distance of 15m, at min-scale – 7m.
Rotate the potentiometer counter-clockwise to
increase range, clockwise to decrease range.
Dimension change according t o installation
location and room size.
SETTING UP THE DE TECTOR TEST PROCEDURE MW PATTERN
SWITCH 1 OF DIP-4 SWITCH FOR SETTINGS
“LED” - LED Enable / Disable
Position On - LED ENABLE
The RED LED will activate when the detector
is in alarm condition.
Position Off - LED DISABLE
The LEDS are disabled.
Note: the state of the switch “LED” does not
affect the operation of the relay.
When an intrusion is detected, the LED will
activate and the alarm relay will switch into alarm
condition for 2 sec.

PIR SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
SWITCH 2 OF DIP-4 SWITCH FOR SETTINGS
“PIR SENSE” - provides sensitivity control of PIR
according to the environment.
Position Down – “OFF” – High sensitivity
For stable environments.
Position Up – “ON” – Low sensitivity
For harsh environments.
POTENTIOMETER “RV1” – adjustment
according to protected area range.
Use RV1 to adjust the detection range between
68% and 100% (factory set to 84%). Rotate the
potentiometer counter-clockwise to increase
range, clockwise to decrease range.
After adjusting the sensitivity perform a
walk test to verify optimum correct
sensitivity in the protected area.
Wait for one minute warm up time after applying
12 Vdc power. Conduct testing with the protected
area cleared of all people.
Walk test
1. Remove front cover.
Set LED to ON position.
2. Reassemble the front cover.
3. Start walking slowly across the detection zone.
4. Observe that the red LED lights whenever
motion is detected.
5. Allow 5 sec. between each test for the detector
to stabilize.
6. After the walk test is completed, you can set the
LED to OFF position.
NOTE:
Walk tests should be conducted, at least once a
year, to confirm proper operation and coverage of
the detector.
PET IMMUNITY SETTING
SWITCH 4 OF DIP-4 SWITCH FOR SETTINGS
“PET” 15kg – 25kg
Position Up “ON”
Immunity to an animal up to 15 kg
Position Down “OFF”
Immunity to an animal up to 25 kg
You must reset the detector from
Control Panel before the new
settings will take effect.
