AP950PI PIR Detector Installation Instructions
Description
The AP950PI is a passive infrared motion detector that is
highly sensitive to moving infrared sources. It features superior
immunity to RFI, vibration, static electricity, temperature
changes, and other false alarm sources.
The unit provides jumper-selectable sensitivity, mode, and LED
settings. The unit is designed to accept either the pet immune
or the standard mirror. The masks included allow the coverage
pattern to be modified for a wide variety of applications.

Selecting a location
• The unit can be mounted from 7 to 10 feet (2.1 to 3.0m)
high except for pet alley application (see Pet Alley
Parts
Application), but for optimum detection and pet immunity,
mount the unit between 7 and 8 feet (2.1 and 2.4m) high.
The following parts are included:
• PIR detector with pet immune mirror installed
• Standard mirror
• Two plastic masks
• Sheet of adhesive masking labels
• Cardboard undercrawl window mask
• One screw to secure the housings
• Mount the unit on a rigid vibration-free surface.
• Mount the unit so the expected movement of an intruder is
across the fields of the detection pattern. See Figure 2
above.
Do not locate the unit on a surface exposed to moisture.
•
• Do not locate the unit where it may be exposed to false
alarm sources, such as:
• direct sunlight
• heat sources (heaters, radiators, etc.) in the field of
view
• strong air drafts (fans, air conditioners, etc.) on unit
P/N 1037263 • REV C • 16MAY11 1
• Do not locate the unit where the ambient temperature is
below 0° F (-18°C) or above 122°F (50°C).
• Do not aim the unit at windows or glass doors.

To close the unit, insert the hinge tabs at the top of the
front housing into the slots at the top of the back housing
then swivel the front housing toward the back housing to
snap the unit closed. See Figure 1 on page 1.
Caution: You must be free of static electricity before handling
sensor circuit boards. Touch a grounded, bare metal surface
before touching circuit boards or wear a grounding strap.
Mounting and wiring the detector
1. Separate the front housing from the back housing by
pressing in on the opening tab at the bottom of the unit
with a small, flat bladed screwdriver. See Figure 3 below.

necessary, to attach the back housing to the wall. Do not

4. Select the appropriate coverage pattern. See “Selecting

Fasten the housings together with the screw provided.

Selecting the coverage pattern
The coverage pattern for the unit can be modified to fit specific
applications by masking off mirror curtains. Curtains should be
masked to avoid sources of false alarms, such as heaters, air
conditioners, and windows.
Remove the mirror by inserting a small screwdriver between
the mirror and the side of the front housing and gently prying
the mirror out. Do not pry from the end of the housing because
the mirror may be scratched. See Figure 3 above.

jumpers
The unit provides three jumpers to set sensitivity, mode, and
the LED. See Figure 3 on page 2.
Figure 7: Sensitivity
Standard Sensitivity (factory default) - Reduces
sensitivity and range for use with the pet immune mirror.
Range = 35 feet (10.7m). Both pins must be covered to place
the unit in Standard Sensitivity.
Increased Sensitivity - Increases sensitivity and range for
use with the standard mirror. Range = 50 feet (15.2m). Eithe
pin can be uncovered to place the unit in Increased
Sensitivity.
Figure 8: Mode
BI= Bi-Curtain Mode (factory default). Increases
false alarm immunity in smaller areas. Requires the intruder
to pass through two curtains to trigger an alarm. Do not use
for single curtain applications or ranges under 5 feet (1.5m).
Both pins must be covered to place the unit in Bi-Curtain
Mode.
STD= Standard Curtain Mode. Use for wide-angle or
single-curtain applications. Requires the intruder to only
pass through one curtain to trigger an alarm. Either pin can
be uncovered to place the unit in Standard Curtain Mode.
Note: Operation of the AP950PI in the Standard Curtain Mode
is UL 639 Listed for a range of 35 feet (10.7m) with both
mirrors in Standard Sensitivity, and for a range of 50 feet
(15.2m) with the standard mirror in Increased Sensitivity. For
operation in Bi-Curtain Mode, the unit is UL 639 Listed for 30
feet (9.1m) range only. For ranges from 30 to 50 feet (9.1 to
15.2m) with sensitivity set to Increased and Bi-Curtain mode,
the unit is not UL 639 Listed but will provide detection within 6
steps or 14 feet (4.3m) across the plane of coverage. UL has
not tested the 6 steps or 14 foot (4.3m) detection.
Figure 9: LED
To enable the LED (factory default), both pins
must be covered by the jumper.
To disable the LED, either pin can be uncovered.
Note: The LED only lights if an alarm occurs and the jumper is
covering both pins.
When mounted properly, the unit provides false alarm
immunity to dogs and similar animals. The size and body
temperature of the animal, which depends on the length of the
animal's coat, affects the immunity to false alarms. Dogs vary
in body temperature by breed. A very warm-blooded dog with
short hair will not be as immune to false alarms as a similar
dog with long hair. Therefore, the acceptable short hair dog is
limited to a lighter weight dog. See the examples listed in the
following table:

Pet alley application
To create a detection-free area close to the floor, mount the
unit 3.5 feet (1.1m) above the floor, upside down (detector
window towards the ceiling). Use the standard mirror and set
the J2 jumper for Increased Sensitivity (both pins cannot be
covered). The cardboard undercrawl window mask should be
in place to reduce exposure to the ceiling.
As shown in Figure 10 on page 4, pets are free to roam below

Note: Operation of the AP950PI in the Standard Curtain Mode
or in the Bi-Curtain Mode is UL 639 Listed for the pet alley
application at a mounting height of no more than 3.5 feet
(1.1m) with a range of 30 feet (9.1m). For ranges greater than
30 feet (9.1m) or mounting heights higher than 3.5 feet (1.1m),
the unit is not UL 639 Listed.

Operational information
When the unit is powered up, the LED turns on and the relay
contacts open for about 12 seconds, then the LED goes off
and the relay contacts close. Thereafter, the LED will turn on
and the relay contacts will open every time an alarm occurs.
The unit should be allowed to settle for at least one minute
after power-up before walk testing. When walk testing, walk
across the curtains, not directly toward or away from the unit.
Wait 10 seconds between trips to allow the unit to stabilize.
Maintaining the detector
When installed and used properly, the AP950PI provides many
years of service with minimal maintenance. To ensure proper
operation, you should walk test the unit annually.
