Novar ED&S Wireless Passive Infra-Red Movement Detector, Response Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

These instructions should be read in conjunction with your

System Installation and Operating Manual and be retained for
future reference.

DECLARATION

Novar ED&S hereby declares that this wireless PIR Detector is in

compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant
provisions of the R&TTE directive (1999/5/EC).

INTRODUCTION

This Passive Infra-Red Movement Detector is suitable for use with

Response Wireless Intruder Alarm systems operating at 868MHz only.

PIR Detectors detect movement in a protected area by detecting
changes in infra-red radiation levels caused for example when a
person moves within or across the PIR’s detection pattern. If movement
is detected an alarm will be triggered, (if the system is armed). PIR
Detectors will also detect animals, so ensure that pets are not
permitted access to areas fitted with PIR Movement Detectors when
the system is armed.

The detector incorporates a tamper protection feature to protect
against attempts to interfere with the device. If the battery cover is
removed, an alarm will immediately occur at any time (unless system is
in Service, Test or Programming modes).

The detector also incorporates a sensitivity adjustment feature to
compensate for situations where the detector may be triggered by
environmental changes, (e.g. insects, air temperature, etc).

To conserve power and maximise battery life the PIR detector will
only detect movement if there has been no movement detected within
the previous 2 minutes.

The detector is powered by a PP3 Alkaline battery which under normal
conditions will have an expected life in excess of 1 year. When the
battery level drops, with the PIR in normal operation mode and the
battery cover fitted, the LED behind the detection window will flash.
When this occurs the battery should be replaced as soon as possible.
(Note: in normal operation with the LED behind the lens will not flash
on detection of movement).

POSITIONING THE PIR MOVEMENT

DETECTOR

The PIR Movement Detector is suitable for mounting in dry interior

locations only.

The recommended position for a PIR Movement Detector is in the corner
of a room mounted at a height between 2 and 2.5m. At this height, the
detector will have a range of up to 12m with a field of view of 110°.

When considering and deciding upon the mounting position for the
detector the following points should be considered to ensure trouble free
operation:

●

Do not position the detector facing a window or where it is exposed

to or facing direct sunlight. PIR Movement Detectors are not
suitable for use in conservatories.

●

Do not position the detector where it is exposed to draughts.

●

Do not position the detector directly above a heat source,

(e.g. fire, radiator, boiler, etc.).

●

Where possible, mount the detector in the corner of the room so that

the logical path of an intruder would cut across the fan detection
pattern. PIR detectors respond more effectively to movement
across the device than to movement directly towards it.

●

Do not position the detector in a position where it is subject to

excessive vibration.

●

Ensure that the position selected for the PIR detector is within effective

range of the system, (refer to System Installation and Operating Manual).

●

DO NOT fix the detector to metalwork or locate the unit within

1m of metalwork (i.e. radiators, water pipes, etc) as this could
affect the radio range of the device.

Note:

When the system is Armed, pets should not be allowed into

an area protected by a PIR Detector as their movement would trigger
the PIR and trigger an alarm.

INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING THE

PIR MOVEMENT DETECTOR

Ensure that the system is in Test/ Service Mode.

1. Undo and remove the fixing screw from the bottom edge of the PIR

Detector, (keep the screw safe for later). Carefully pull the bottom
edge of the detector away from the rear cover and then slide down
to release the top clips.

2. Carefully drill out the required mounting holes in the rear cover

using a 3mm drill according to whether the unit is being mounted in
a corner or against a flat wall.

3. Using the rear cover as a template, mark the positions of the fixing

holes on the wall.

4.

Fix the rear cover to the wall using the two 18mm No.4 screws and

22mm wall plugs, (a 5mm hole will be required for the wall plugs). Do
not over- tighten the screws as this may distort or damage the cover.

Note: The wall plugs supplied with the product are not suitable for

plasterboard walls, if mounting the Detector onto plasterboard use
appropriate wall plugs.

5. To select the required sensitivity, set switch SW3 as follows:

UP HIGH sensitivity
DOWN LOW sensitivity

Note: The recommended setting is HIGH. However, in cases of

extreme environmental problems or if unexplained false alarms are
experienced, it may be necessary to set the sensitivity to LOW.
Setting the device to LOW sensitivity will require a greater amount
of movement in order to trigger the device.

6.

Connect the PP3 Alkaline battery to the battery clip. The LED behind

the lens will rapidly flash for approximately 2-3 minutes until the PIR
has stabilised. The LED will then stop flashing and turn OFF.

Testing the PIR Detector Independtly for Walk Testing.

7. Ensure that the LED indicator has stopped flashing rapidly.

8. Button SW1 (Test Mode) is used to put the PIR Detector into Walk

Test mode, which overrides the 2 minute sleep period and allows
the operation of the detector to be checked during installation. Press
and hold the the button for 2s to activate test mode for a fixed
5 minute after which it will automatically revert to normal operation.

On initial installation the detector should be configured into Walk
Test ready for testing, (i.e. Pressing down SW1 for 2s).

9. Refit the PIR Detector to the rear cover by offering the detector up

to the rear cover and locate the clips in the top edge into the rear
cover. Push the lower edge of the detector into place and refit the
fixing screw in the bottom edge of the PIR to secure in position. Do
not over-tighten the screws as this may damage the casing.

10. Walk into and move slowly around the protected area within the

5 minutes of pressing SW1. Each time the detector senses
movement the LED indicator behind the lens will flash.

Linking the PIR Detector to the Alarm System.

11. In order to communicate with the system, the ID code of the

Detector needs to be learnt by the Control Panel when placed into
Learn Mode (or for single zone systems, first place the Siren into
Service Mode prior to Learn Mode).

Refer to the Installation and Operating manual for your system for
adding additional detectors to your system.

12.

Ensure that the system is in switched back to Standby/Operating Mode.

It is recommended that the operation of the detector is also tested
with the alarm in normal operating mode to ensure that the detector
will successfully trigger a Full Alarm condition and that the Detector
is operating on the correct zone (if installed on a multi zone alarm
system). Refer to your System Installation and Operating Manual.

DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING

Batteries and waste electrical products should not be

disposed of with household waste. Please recycle
where these facilities exist. Check with your local
authority or retailer for recycling advice.

IMPORTANT: In normal operation, the LED indicator behind the

detector lens will not flash on movement detection, (unless the
battery is low).

When the detector is fully installed, i.e. battery cover fitted and in
operating mode; in order to conserve power and maximise battery
life the PIR Detector will only detect movement if there has been
no movement detected within the previous 2 minutes.
