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.

!" 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.

* 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.

One-zone detection vs. Two-zone detection:
Placement of the Zone detection jumper determines how much motion it will take to trigger the
Sharpshooter. By way of explanation, think of the Sharpshooter as looking out at the protected area in a
series of wedge-shaped zones beginning inside the unit at 2 small pyroelectric sensors. Two of these
wedges comprise a zone. Infrared energy travels up the wedges and is focused by the Fresnel lens onto
the pyroelectric sensors. One sensor creates a positive voltage spike when subjected to a temperature
change, the other a negative spike. A target moving across the adjacent positive and negative wedges of
a zone creates a characteristic electrical "signature". Sophisticated software analyzes the waveforms
created by the sensors before triggering an alarm.
FA206
1-Zone Detection
2-Zone Detection
The one-zone detection option tells the Sharpshooter that changes in any adjacent wedges should cause
an alarm. This setting is required for long-range lenses and curtain lenses. In standard lenses, however,
one-zone detection makes the unit very sensitive to minor temperature variations in the environment, and
can result in false alarms.
Two-zone detection requires intruders to move across at least four wedges. At typical operating distances
from the Sharpshooter, the target has to move several feet before an alarm will be generated. False
alarms due to localized heat fluctuations are nearly eliminated.

Programming the transmitter:
1. Remove the Sharpshooter cover.
2. Insert the battery as shown.
3. Enter programming mode for the receiver unit, using the above recommendations as a guideline.
Connect the programming cable between the transmitter and the receiver.
4. Press the transmitter reset button.
5. When programming is complete, disconnect the programming cable and replace the
Sharpshooter cover.
Note: The FA206S retains programming data in non-volatile memory. It does not require
re-programming after loss of power. Install a new battery and press the reset
button to re-initialize the transmitter and restore programming.
Walk test:
Operation:
When the cover is replaced on the FA206S, the unit will go into automatic walk test
mode for 3 minutes. During this time the walk test LED will light as zones are crossed to
help determine detection pattern. After the 3-minute period, the LED will not light again
until the cover is opened and re-closed.
The Sharpshooter extends battery life by "going to sleep" for approximately 90 seconds
after transmission of an alarm. At the end of the sleep period, the Sharpshooter will trip
immediately if it still detects motion. It is useful after installation to allow the unit to
stabilize for several minutes before conducting tests.
