P/N 7101507 REV. F A.Y.

The Activ8 PIR detector uses a special

designed optical Lens with unique Quad

(Four element) PIR Sensor and new ASIC

based electronics optimized to eliminate false

alarms, caused by small animals and Pets.
The Activ8 PIR provides unprecedented levels
of immunity against visible light.

The Detector offers an exceptional level of

detection capability and stability for every

security installation.

The Activ8 PIR is supplied with Wide Angle

lens.

Activ8 PIR FEATURES DETECTION PATTERN

TYPICAL INSTALLATION

FEATURES

• Quad Linear Imaging Technology for
sharp analysis of body dimensions and
differentiation from background and
animals.

• New ASIC based electronics.

• Immunity to animals up to 25kg (55 lbs).

• 18m Detection Range with Wide Angle

Lens.

• Temperature compensation.

• Compact Design for Residential

Installation.

• Variable pulse width adjustment.

• Sensitivity adjustment.

• Environmental immunity.

• Height installation calibration

free (1.8m – 2.4m).

• LED Remote function.

SELECT MOUNTING LOCATION

Choose a location most likely to intercept an
intruder. See detection pattern. The Quad high
quality sensor detects motion crossing the beam;
it is less sensitive detecting motion towards the
detector.
The Activ8 PIR performs best when provided with
a constant and stable environment.

AVOID THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS

∗ Facing direct sunlight.
∗ Facing areas subject to rapid

temperature changes.

∗ Areas with air ducts or substantial air

flows.

REMOVAL OF FRONT COVER MOUNTING THE DETECTOR

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
installation.

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.

DETECTOR INSTALLATION

TERMINAL BLOCK CONNECTIONS

Terminals 1 & 6 - 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 4 & 5 - 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.

PET IMMUNITY JUMPER SETTING

PIR SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

POTENTIOMETER– adjustment according to
protected area range.

Use the potentiometer to adjust the detection
range between 68% and 100% (factory set to
84%). Rotate the potentiometer clockwise to
increase range, counter-clockwise to decrease
range.

WIRE SIZE REQUIREMENTS

Use #22 AWG (0.5 mm) or wires with a larger
diameter. Use the following table to determine
required wire gauge (diameter) and length of wire
between the detector and the control panel.

Wire Length m 200 300 400 800
Wire Diameter mm .5 .75 1.0 1.5
Wire Length ft. 800 1200 2000 3400

TESTING BRACKET INSTALLATION OPTION

TEST PROCEDURES

WAIT FOR ONE MINUTE OF WARM UP TIME
AFTER APPLYING 12 VDC POWER.
CONDUCT TESTING WITH THE PROTECTED
AREA CLEARED OF ALL PEOPLE.

Walk test

1. Remove front cover.
The pulse jumper must be in position 1. The
LED must be enabled.

2. Replace the front cover.

3. Start walking slowly across the detection zone.

4. Observe that the detector’s 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, the LED may
be disabled.

NOTE:
Walk tests should be conducted, at least once a
year, to confirm proper operation and coverage of
the detector.

WALL AND CEILING INSTALLATION REPLACING THE LENS

ADDING A FILTER

1. Remove the front cover.

2. Using a small flat screwdriver, press on left
and right snaps of the lens and pull the lens
out from its place (front cover side).

3. Replace a new lens.

4. Push the lens to its place by pressing again
from outside of the front cover until a click is
heard.

5. Replace front cover.

Filter for immunity of 6000 Lux
(Adding the filter may reduce sensitivity by 10%)
