Installation Instructions
Description
The RCR detector combines range-controlled radar (RCR)
technology with a passive infrared (PIR) system to increase
false alarm immunity by allowing it to sense human-sized
objects within a specified range. Both the RCR and PIR
systems must be triggered to set off an alarm, unless in radar-
only mode.
The detector is designed to use a 12VDC power supply
provided by a UL Listed alarm control panel.
Features
The detector provides the following features:
• High-security (radar-only) mode - Internal jumper
allows you to disable the PIR, and use the radar-only
mode to detect intruders faster. This mode can be used for
covert installations (mounted behind ceiling panels or
walls).
• Selectable range up to 50 feet (15.2m) - Internal jumper
allows radar range selection to optimize coverage.
• LED indicator - A multi-color LED provides detector
status.
• Tamper switch - Activated when the pins on the circuit
board are removed from the terminal sockets on the base.

Parts
The following parts are included:
• RCR detector
• 1 screw to join the case halves
• 3 factory-installed jumpers
Selecting a Location for the Detector
The detector can be mounted in a corner or on a flat wall.
Use the following guidelines to determine the best location to
install the detector:
• Mount the detector so the expected movement of an
intruder is across the detection pattern. See Figure 1.
• Mount the detector on a stable surface 7 to 9 feet (2.1 to
2.7m) high.
• DO NOT mount the detector within 2 feet (0.6m) of
metallic objects or within 5 feet (1.5m) of florescent lights.
• DO NOT place objects in front of the detector that may
prevent a clear line of sight. (Not applicable in radar-only
mode.)
• Avoid locations that expose the detector to possible false
alarm sources such as:
– Moving or vibrating objects (fans, pulleys, conveyor belts)
– Electronic fields (electric motors, high voltage equipment)
– Water spray or corrosive environments
– Heat sources in the field of view (heaters, radiators)
– W indows in the field of view
– Strong air drafts on the detector (fans, air conditioners)
• When installing multiple detectors:
– DO NOT mount detectors facing each other .
– Mount detectors at least 20 feet (6.1m) apart.
– Use shorter range settings to avoid overlapping radar
coverage.
– Mounting detectors back to back is not recommended, but
if an application requires such mounting, use the 20-foot
(6.1m) range and walk test the installation to ensure proper
operation.

Installing the Detector
All wiring must conform to the National Electric Code (NEC)
and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
Important: DO NOT use this device for safety
interlock applications.
T o install the detector:
Terminal
sockets
1. Run the security system wiring to the detector location.
2. T o remove the front cover/electronic module, remove the
nameplate and loosen the screw if necessary. To remove
the nameplate, insert a small screwdriver into one of the
nameplate side slots and gently push in and pry up with
the screwdriver. See Figure 2. Then press down on the
top of the front cover with one hand, while holding the
sides at the top of the back cover and squeezing in and
pulling back with the other hand.
CAUTION
You must be free of all static electricity before
handling sensor circuit boards. Touch a
grounded, bare metal surface befor e touching
circuit boards or wear a grounding strap.
3. If necessary , set the jumpers on the circuit board. See
Setting the Jumpers.
4. Remove the appropriate wiring and mounting knockouts
from the back cover. The detector can be mounted on a
flat wall or in a corner. See Figure 3.
5. Pull the wires through the knockout holes and use screws
to attach the base to the wall. Use screw anchors if
necessary .

6. Strip 1/4 inch (6.4mm) of insulation from each wire.
7. Run each wire through the strain relief and under the
appropriate screw terminals on the base and tighten the
screws. See Figure 3.
8. Line up the tabs on the bottom of the cover/electronic
module with the corresponding tabs on bottom of the
base and snap the cover/electronic module firmly down
onto the base.
9. Tighten the screw and replace the nameplate. See
Figure 2.
10. Apply power. The green LED should light for approximately 25 seconds and then go out.
11. Walk test the coverage pattern as follows:
– Walk throughout the intended coverage area.
– Verify the detector alarms. See Understanding the LED.
Note
Most units walk test more accurately if the person
testing waits 10 seconds between tripping the unit and
walking again. This allows the detector to stabilize
between trips.
