Pet Immune SAW PIR Motion Sensor with
Lithium Battery Installation Instructions
• Field-selectable sensitivity options (standard setting
required for pet applications)
• Compatible with all Learn Mode control panels
Installation guidelines
Product summary
A motion sensor (passive-infrared or PIR) detects movement
within a specific area by sensing the infrared energy emitted
from a body as it moves across the sens or’s field of view.
When this motion is detected, the sensor transmits an alarm
signal to the control panel.
Use this motion sensor to protect locations where door/window
sensors are impractical or not needed. For example, use a
motion sensor to protect large areas or open floor plans.
Motion sensors also provide backup protection for door/window
sensors.
The Pet Immune SAW PIR (60-807-01-95R) utilizes advanced
signal processing, a new custom designed lens, and a new
custom designed sensing element. The combination of these
improvements provides false alarm immunity for pets with a
combined weight of up to 40 pounds (18 kg) while still
providing superior human catch performance.
• This wireless motion sensor includes the following
features:
• 35 feet by 40 feet coverage area
• Three minute transmitter lockout time after an alarm that
helps extend battery life
• Cover-activated tamper (optional wall-activated tamper is
included)
• Supervisory signals transmitted every 64 minutes to the
control panel
• Sensor low battery reports (trouble) to the control panel
This PIR was designed for indoor use in the presence of pets
having a combined weight of up to 40 pounds (18 kg). The
following installation guidelines must be met to provide this
false alarm immunity.
• The sensor must be incline-mounted on a wall surface or
incline mounted in a corner at a mounting height of 7.5
feet (2.3 m) (see Figure 4 on page 2).
• The sensitivity switch must be set to Standard.
• The pet must not be allowed to climb on objects such as
furniture, boxes, etc. within the field of coverage. See
Figure 2 on page 2 and Figure 3 on page 2 to determine
the sens or’s field of coverage.
• Room temperature must be kept between 60º and 120° F
(16º and 49º C).
• Do not aim the sensor at windows, fireplaces, air
conditioners, area heaters, forced air heating vents, or
place it in direct sunlight.
• Windows should be closed in any area which has an
armed motion sensor.
• Position the sensor to protect an area where an intruder
would be most likely to walk across the detection pattern
(see Figure 1 on page 2).
• Mount the motion sensor on a rigid surface which is free
from vibrations.
• Mount the sensor permanently on a flat wall or in a corner.
Do not set it on a shelf.
• Mount the motion sensor on an insulated, outside wall
facing in.
• Position the sensor so it faces a solid reference point, like
a wall.

• If possible, locate sensors within 100 feet (30.5 m) of the
panel. While a transmitter may have a range of 500 feet
(152 m) or more out in the open, the environment at the
installation site can have a significant effect on transmitter
range. Sometimes a change in sensor location can help
overcome adverse wireless conditions.
• Do not mount the sensor near duct work or other large
metallic surfaces which may affect the RF signals (see
“Final Testing” on page 4). Actual acceptable transmitter
range should be verified for each installation.

Mounting the motion sensor
This sensor must be incline-mounted on a wall surface or
incline mounted in a corner at a mounting height of 7.5 feet.

To mount the sensor:
1. Remove the mounting plate by depressing the button on
the top of the sensor body. With the opposite hand pull the
mounting plate away from the body of the sensor.
2. Punch out two of the bottom four mounting holes (see
Figure 5 above) to determine which knockouts to use
when mounting the motion sensor. Use the lower-side
holes for corner mounting, or the lower-middle holes for
surface mounting.
3. If you desire wall-tamper functionality, remove the walltamper knockout (see Figure 5 above).
Note: The wall-tamper switch cannot be used when the
sensor is corner mounted.
4. Mark the location of the required holes on the mounting
surface.
5. Use wall anchors and screws to secure into place. Attach
the sensor to the mounting plate.
