LOCATING THE DETECTOR & SELECTING A LENS

First, choose the type of coverage that will be best for the
particular area you need to protect.

Standard Wide-Angle Lens

Corner mounting with this lens is preferred as it provides the
best overall coverage. Choose a corner where the path of
an intruder will most likely cross beams, as opposed to walk­ing towards or away from them. This lens is intentionally
made with an 85 degree angle of view, to help prevent cur­tains on windows from being in detection zones.
Sources of heat, such as radiators and space heaters, do
not usually pose a problem as long as hot air from them
does not blow directly onto the detector. One exception to
this is overhead radiant heaters, these produce very high
levels of infrared energy and can heat the unit at some dis­tance. Mount the unit as far from these as possible. Do not
mount the unit where the sun can shine directly on it. Mount
it away from the direction of sunlight.

If you are protecting a typical room area which may include
small pets or rodents (no larger than 20 lbs. total weight),
the factory installed wide angle lens can be used. If pets will
be present locate the detector as high as possible (7 ft.
minimum) and avoid placement that would allow the pets to
get within 6 ft. of the detector. It may be necessary to mask
a zone with the supplied material if a staircase is close to the
detector and directly in a zone. It is also possible to adjust
beams laterally by sliding the lens and retainer horizontally
within its stops.

Pet-Alley Lens (LENS817) (Not evaluated by UL)
For larger pets use a Pet-Alley Lens (LENS817). This lens
provides the same pattern and coverage as the standard
Wide-Angle lens, but there are no lower zones. This creates
an unprotected "Pet Alley" in which a larger pet can freely
move about. The detector should be mounted at 5 to 6 ft.
with the board mounting height index set to 6 ft.

Barrier Lens (LENS818) (Not evaluated by UL)

For hallways, aisles or corridors use the Barrier lens,
sometimes referred to as a curtain lens (LENS818), will
provide the best solution. This lens stacks the elements to
form an efficient and effective wall that will detect anyone
crossing it while ignoring motion on either side of the
detector. The detector has a maximum range of 50 ft. with
this lens.

Long Range Lens (LENS840) (Not evaluated by UL)
For longer range coverage the Long Range Lens
(LENS840) will provide up to 100 feet of range with a single
pair of beams.Complete coverage pattern is included with
the lens.

MOUNTING

First, use a screw driver to carefully lift the lens cover from
the housing. Second, remove the circuit board from the
housing by removing the screw in the center of the board.
Note: the screw is attached to the circuit board and will not
separate when removed. Third, determine the wire entry
points on the housing. The housing provides four possible
wire entry points, two for surface wiring and two for hidden
wiring. Determine which entry is most convenient and
punch out or remove the thin plastic section. Fourth, mount
the housing to the wall. There are three mounting options to
choose from depending on the desired location: flat wall
mounting, corner mounting or using the swivel bracket
(SVL2) for ceiling and wall mounting where it is
advantageous to tilt or aim the unit along a wall. Note:
using two units on swivel brackets mounted side by side it is
possible to cover almost 180 degrees when mounted on a
flat wall. If using the swivel bracket refer to the instructions
with the bracket. For wall or corner mounting simply hold
the case in the desired location and using the supplied
screws push through the appropriate thin wall mounting
screw holes and attach the unit with two or four screws.
Note: Do not over tighten the screws as this can distort the
case and compromise the air seal of the unit, because not
all walls are flat and all corners are square. Reinstall the
circuit board and proceed to wire the detector.

WIRING & TERMINAL DESCRIPTIONS

Refer to the wiring diagram and terminal descriptions,
connect the appropriate wire to the corresponding terminal.
When you have finished wiring the terminals seal the
opening around the wire entry hole and any other unused
holes with the supplied sealer.

Power (Terminals 1 [S] & 2 [S]): Connect to the [S] and [S]
terminals on the GEMC-BSLC.
