DESCRIPTION The TMD-90 is a passive infrared (PIR)
motion detector with a built-in supervised, digitally-coded radio
transmitter designed for security applications.
The PIR detects motion in its detection pattern by measuring the
infrared emission levels of objects that it “sees”. If the infrared levels
change quickly, as when a person moves across the detection
pattern, the PIR will recognize the change as an intrusion.
A selectable “pulse count” circuit controls the PIR’s triggering of the
transmitter. As a person moves across the detection pattern, the PIR
registers one pulse as each “finger” of the detection pattern is
crossed. The TMD-90 counts these pulses. When the selected
number of pulses occur during the selected time, the PIR will trigger
the transmitter, sending an alarm signal. A lockout timer prevents the
transmitter from triggering more often than once every 2 minutes
when constant motion is detected. The pulse counting and timing
options are selected with the OPTION switch.
The unit is supervised for low battery, alarm and status reporting. The
TMD-90 is compatible with any Linear SX format supervised
security receiver. The transmitter sends hourly status reports. A test
report can be sent by pressing the test button.
Coding switches are not required or used in this transmitter. Each
transmitter is pre-coded at the factory to a unique code. With the SX
format, there are more than sixteen million codes possible.
The transmitter is powered by four Duracell “AA” MN1500 1.5-volt
alkaline batteries (included) and can power the unit for up to 5 years.
When the battery voltage gets low, a low battery report is sent to the
receiver with any alarm, test or status report.

STEP 11 Program transmitter into receiver. Refer to the
instructions supplied with the supervised receiver to program the
TMD-90 as a non-restoring PIR sensor. Turn the walk test switch
(#6) OFF. Press the TEST button to cause the unit to send a
signal. The TEST button will not send a valid signal if the unit
is in walk test (switch #6 ON).
STEP 12 Replace and lock cover. Replace the unit’s
cover and secure it with the locking screw.
STEP 13 System test. Place the receiver into a sensor test
mode. Stay out of the detection pattern of the PIR for at least
4 minutes then walk across the detection pattern. The receiver
should indicate that the signal was received.
WAIT AT LEAST 4 MINUTES BEFORE

Linear radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need in portable wireless
signalling. However, there are some limitations which must be observed.
1 For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules
and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter
power and therefore limited range.
1 A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and
may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating
frequencies, regardless of code settings.
1 Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.
1 Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against
undetected interference or fault.
1 A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting
as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated
to the ultimate users.
