FA206S
Frequency Agile®
3.0V Sharpshooter®
Passive InfraRed Motion Detector
900MHz Transmitter
Installation Instructions
02311D
Overview:
The FA206S is a low-current motion detector highly sensitive to moving heat (infrared radiation) sources.
It features increased immunity to RFI, vibration, static, lightning, ambient temperature changes and other
common causes of false alarms.
Features:
!" Reliable 900 Megahertz transmitter operation.
!" Inovonics' Frequency Agile™ radio link.
!" Dual pyroelectric sensor with jumper-selectable one- or two-zone detection.
!" Sequence processor with bi-directional pulse counting and event verification.
!" Opaque fresnel lens focuses infrared energy on pyroelectric sensors, reducing false alarms caused by
stray light or heat sources.
!" 5 interchangeable fresnel lenses available for special applications.
!" Mounting hardware and housings permit flat wall, corner or hallway mounting, with swivel adjustments
for aiming for nominal coverage. Optional mirror-sighting accessory for precise mounting and lens
selection.
!" Fire-retardant antique white ABS plastic housing.
Important Notes
!" These products are designed to be installed and maintained by professional security technicians.
!" Products, unless specifically noted, are intended for indoor use.
!" Manually test all products regularly.

Sharpshooter Specifications:
!" Dimensions: 2.875"W x 3.688"L x 2.063"D
!" Operating temperature: 10#F to 120#F
!" Humidity: 10% to 90% non-condensing
!" Static and Lightning immunity: 2.5KV, 1msec rise/50 msec decay, 2 joule max impulse
!" Voltage: 2.6-3.2 VDC
Battery: Inovonics BAT604 (3.0V lithium Duracell DL123A, or equivalent)
!" Note: Battery is supervised
Typical battery life: 2 years in location with low to moderate activity*
!" Standard lens coverage area: 45' x 90#
!" Long Range lens coverage area: 90' x 6#
!" Extra Wide Lens coverage area: 20' x 140#
!" Pet Alley coverage area: 35' x 90#
!" Degrees of mounting swivel: +/- 10# right or left, 15# down
* The battery life of a PIR transmitter is highly dependent on “t raffic” in its coverage area. P IRs installed in recepti on areas and similar areas
experience reduced battery life.
Installation:
Mounting Note: Recommended mounting height for standard lens is 6'10" above floor level.
General mounting advice:
!" For the most precise installation, Inovonics recommends using the optional C603 Sharpshooter
sighting mirror. After you have selected the location of the mounting bracket, attach the C603 to the
bracket and view coverage patterns of various lenses, identify potential sources of false alarms and
determine areas that need to be masked. The Sharpshooter functions best when areas being
protected are bounded by solid barriers. Walls and floors provide good backdrops for detecting
changes in infrared energy.
!" For best detection, locate Sharpshooters so that intruders move
rather than toward or away from the sensor.
!" Check areas for potential sources of false alarms. Remember that the sensor responds to quick
changes in heat patterns within its coverage pattern. Avoid locating it where it is exposed to direct or
reflected sunlight, or to objects which can be heated quickly by sunlight. Do not place the
Sharpshooter looking at windows. Don't place it near heat or cold sources, like heater ducts or air
conditioners, which might direct hot or cold air onto the sensor. Look for appliances such as space
heaters which can rapidly heat up. If necessary, mask the lens to eliminate potential sources of false
alarms.
!" Find out about normal use of the area. Are there pets? Might there be birds, bats, mice, for example,
in a warehouse?
!" When the sensor might detect users who enter the protected area through a delayed door, program
the sensor as a "Follower" device.
!" Make end-users aware of the location of the Sharpshooter and caution them about obstructing the
coverage pattern when re-arranging furniture or stock.

Mounting Instructions:
The FA206S may be mounted with or without the Swivel bracket. Without the bracket the unit may be
attached to walls or corners through the back of the detector housing. This provides a fixed mounting and
aiming pattern.
Where it is desirable to be able to adjust the viewing direction, use the swivel mounting bracket as shown.
The most common use of the swivel adjustment bracket is to compensate for mounting the unit at heights
other than the nominal 6'10". For every 1-foot variation from the 6'10" height, compensate with 1# of tilt.
Use the tilt and swivel calibration marks to set correct compensation.
